So I got my hands on an i7

Was reading the reviews on it and just couldn’t resist crazy speeds. The HT bottleneck was fixed apparently and yes it is fast really fast!!.

Hold on!!. There is some ANNOYING problems with the clocking your ram on X85 chipsets therefore across all brands your damn RAM specifically OCZ and some say gel dont run at their desired speed.

So as what most people would do, that is manually adjust. The thing hands and throws tandtrums and doesnt stay true. I dunnnnnno whats going on it is a pain!, just wait for the latest bios updates :D

Solution

Well as all of us may think that our clock times ARE NOT working they are!. It is all on false pretenses of using Everest to check our latency. I recommed using CPUZ-ID and you will realise that the SPD on the OCZs are kind of screwed up so INDEED you do need to set them manually.

I noticed a HUGEE speed improvement in terms of loading windows so I know the timings were a lot better and bandwith increased. Checked everest they were the same, but then I checked using CPUZ turns out they are right :)

Note: Make sure your voltages on your RAM is sufficent to do your clock speeds if you starve them of power it tends to screw up.

Tip Day: Finger prints? Glossy Finish is a pain!!

If your like me, you have a glossy laptop. Lets not go into the details of why I have one and how I came to acquire one.

What we would all realized is that, our glossy laptops is a magnet for fingerprint marks.

As I was plowing along finishing a proposal, I kind of got side tracked with my laptop which was stained with finger print streaks all along it.

The keyboard had reminance of dinners from last month, oil splash and so on.
With the recent scares in H1N1 most place would have these sanitation stations for your hands, not the squirty bottle stuff the disposable napkins!!.

I have found a use for them, to clean our finger printed glossy laptops. They work great, excellent for cleaning the keyboard and high gloss surfaces.

Most of the satination systems inplace for the influenza virus are ethanol base, I maybe even bold enough to say ALL of them. Around about 70% ethanol. You may ask isnt that the same as washing your hands with a bottle of cheap whisky? most likely YES.

But it works most effective with some water in the solution, so pure ethanol is not as effective as ethanol + water. (7:3 ratio)
