Sorry to insult you with...

mattyboy · 07-November-04, 09:02 PM

Hi, not to insult anyone here with such a lame n00b question but I ve got some nice things going with my comp. modding even though Im new at it, but my question is how do I get my UV cable and other UV stuff to "react" like its supposed to? I bought a Xconnect titanium, with the blue UV cables, and I think I need a cathode UV light or something like that. Could someone please tell me/direct me to somewhere that would work best for what I need?
Thanks and I look forward to being in your modding community!!!
PS Im tired so ignore any type-O's!

GEEEEZ sorry
Are you a moderator? Do you have a answer to my question?

Psylariser · 07-November-04, 09:10 PM

Hey, I was just giving you fair warning before the admin's got here. We're really strict here about our rules.

EDIT: No, I'm not a moderator...you should consider yourself lucky for it too.

you need to get something for the uv reactive stuff to react to. go buy a uv cathode or led from your preferred mod supply store

I do have some LEDs is that enough for the cable to "glow" off of?

Well, at least MattyBoy has been polite

You hit the nail on the head. You need UV lighting of some sort. Here's a link: http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/index.html
Browse the site for UV lighting accessories that you think would work well in your case.
You'll have that puppy all lit up in no time

A UV cold cathode will light them MUCH better. Try www.xoxide.com or www.svc.com or other computer mod sites to pick one up.

Rob · 07-November-04, 09:16 PM

Hi Mattyboy,

The reason why they are called "UV reactive" is because, as Enko stated, the key word is "reactive", or react to.. Check out some of the sponsor's links (i.e., the FrozenCPU link at the top) and check out the lights. Be careful that you don't select a blue cold cathode because all that emits is just a blue light. You'll need to get a "UV cold cathode" for the UV cables to light up.

Hope this helps...

Rob

Hmm, something tells me that mattyboy should be thankful that psy got here before I did. I will commend matty that he ended up complying instead of waiting for a mod to slam him.

Thanks, psy. Rep to you.

anyway, thanks for the help, UV cathode light, sounds straight forward enough, I hope you can get some small ones, I dont want to over shadow the other stuff in the case Im putting in, I just need the cable and other items to do their job!!

well as this website is based in the US and most of us are from the US, than i guess we would be following US standards for ratings wouldn't we?

anyways, those leds you were talking about earlier. are they uv leds or are you going to go out and buy some new lights.

AMD Daddy · 07-November-04, 09:30 PM

Wouldn't work too well ( I assume their UV LED's), because they probably only have a 10-20degree radius of light being put out so it isn't spread out well. UV CCFL is the way to go, besides $6 aint gonna hurt you.

I dont know if they are UV LEDs or not, I doubt it to be honesthttp://www.adpmods.com/xcart/customer/product.php?productid=1426&cat=&page=
I got them here, so you tell me but i dont think so!!
Anyone got a good link to a UV cathode that they have owned and really like for the $$$?
I sure could use one that will work well with my new PSU (Xconnect)

AMD Daddy · 07-November-04, 09:37 PM

I love em. Got four 12" CCFL's. 1 UV and 3 BLOOOOOOOO's! 1 UV does good to lightup my UV cable sleeving. Keep in mind im not a hugeeeeeeee fan of UV, I just think its pretty cool.

You're gonna want one of the UV sets. Take your pick.

mattyboy · 07-November-04, 09:57 PM

[quote=Psylariser]http://cablecrazy.com/Merchant2/merc...egory_Code=CCL

Does it matter what colour of UV cathode I get? My cables on the PSU are UV blue, so would I have to get a blue cathode or does it not matter.

BTW, you guys here are awesome thanks so much for the quick and helpful replys!!!!!!!
