Test **Ways to Better Cooling**

Post by doyll » Thu Dec 17, 2015 1:15 pm

I thought this might be of interest to members. If you have questions, pleases post them here on spcr, not on OCN. If it was not such a time consuming job to move them I would post everything here instead of linking to each topic elsewhere. Maybe in time I will get it all moved, but for now at least you can see the index and access them.

Got tired of posting instructions and guides over and over and over, so decided to start a thread for them.

Please do not post unnecessarily as it will make it harder for others to find what they are looking for.

This thread is not for opinions of the data or tutorials.

If you have questions post them here or start a thread to discuss them.
