 Thanks to Matt for

            EST. I was going to post today morning but I didn't. Here's my 
            story:
 I woke up and thought about posting something but I 
            decided to wax my car before the sun came up (draw your own 
            conclusions), wax on, wax off, wax on,..., did that for about an 
            hour. Then I saw the sun rise (Aaahh I'm melting... not). I sat in 
            front of my comp and started to search for good news to post. Saw 
            that a stoopid judge temporally shuts down napster. Goes to room and 
            cry. and now I'm here :-)

             | top Do you sweat during the BIOS flashing 
            procedure on your BP6 mobo? If so then this little gadget maybe 
            worth a first look. It's called the "RD1 BIOS Savior" and it 
            plugs in between your BIOS ROM and the BIOS ROM socket on your mobo. 
            This device will backup your BIOS and and allow you to recover your 
            BIOS in the event that your flashing session goes wrong. In the 
            event of a bad flash, just flip a switch on the RDI and boot up your 
            system, and flash again. This is also good as a failsafe in case you

 Even if your 
            not overclocking your system (or planning on it), this unit will 
            provide system stability and longevity. What would happen one day of 
            your GeForce or CPU fan went dead? You can also think of this 
            cooling unit as a backup to essential cooling fans in your 
            system.

 Dual PSU Wiring diagram... (preview to 
            Part 1 Watercooling Project)

             | top When is comes to overclocking your 
            system, cooling plays a big role. Powering all of those fans in your 
            system can cause quite a strain on your PSU (Power Supply Unit). 
            Depending on the number of peripherals in your system, adding a more 
            powerfull PSU or adding a second PSU may be neccesary. For 
            watercooling and using peltiers, dedicating a second PSU to power 
            the Peltiers (TEC's) is a good idea. Here I have come up with 2 
            diagrams on how I wired dual 300 watt ATX power supply units for the 
            Blizzard BP6 watercooling project. Consider this part of Step 1. 
            More will follow this week. BTW.. hacking up your PSU's is very 
            dangerous and is not recommended unless you know what you are doing.
 
 View Diagram 1 here.
 View Diagram 2 here.
 
 I used Tap-In Squeeze Connectors and 
            22 guage wire to connect the wires. You can get them at Radio Shack 
            Part# 64-3053 or click here.
 
 
 RAM Overclocking?

             | top I know we're pretty big overclockers 
            here at BP6.Com so, this is a post of choice ;-) I've seen the 
            question in the message boards, 'why can't I overclock any higher?' 
            Well, it's not always the CPU that's holding you back... Many other 
            things need to be taken care of to overclock such as your PCI 
            devices (can they handle the higher bus speed), the actual CPU, and 
            your RAM. I'm not saying that that a high quality stick of silicon 
            will enable you to overclock your 366MHz to 1 GHZ (I wish!), but, it 
            will certainly help =)
 
 Extreme Overclocking has tested 
            (overclocked) PC133 RAM to there full potential. Here's a quote I 
            found and the link:
 
 Well, the guys at Extreme Overclocking 
            have been hard at work again with their latest review. This time 
            they have put seven 128MB PC133 memory modules through the torture 
            tests to determine their maximum overclocking potential. Which one's 
            came out on top? Read the review to find out....
