Useless facts found when upgrading the PC
July 28th, 2009 | by admin |* Superstitions: You don’t get the Number of the Beast (666) when messing around with the clock frequencies in the PC. Neither in the FSB, nor in the memories or the CPU. Begone evil thing!
* Speaking of the same frequencies, why there are board manufacturers out there, who think it’s a good thing to increase the noise and power consumption, by adding extra fans to the north and south bridges, while other just add simple motionless heat sinks?
*Case connectors. Someone out there thought it was a also a good thing to have a 3 hole female power LED connection, which actually only uses 2 wires, for 2 pin motherboards. Messy solutions would be to break the connector in half, or inserting a thin copper wire between the middle hole and one of the others, just to achieve current between the board jumpers and the connector. A more professional solution is using a cable that convert a 3 hole connection, to a 2 hole one.
* I’ll add others, as I go along.
