Ok looks like 29th is the day. Hynes has arrived?? + OCX0 board looks like an early start to test all that stuff. Nigel is 29th ok for you?
BTW anybody else interested in hearing this stuff etc just let me know you are coming
Been tracking the Hynes for a week from a very remote island off Scotland, currently in Dublin so should finally arrive next week after just over six months since I ordered!!
The Mobo OCXO should be a quick swap for myself or Nige if he has a quick connect setup on his Mobo.
I have a spare PPA TCXO if you want to take a chance on desoldering your clock off your MSI board and soldering in a connector?

Hynes has been a quest it will be very interesting to see if the pursuit was worth the effort.
Janey mac not sure on that tcxo thing bring it sure will have a look anyway. It might bring improvements if I just solder it to the case!
I think if I go there it will be with a fresh spare MSI board. The stress of it all!!
Good John see you then. Will suggest starting early afternoon to whatever finish time. If any distance traveller wants to start earlier fine with me. ( Sure if you start first thing in the morning no daily tasks can be assigned!)
What is that you are using for USB cable? That looks ludicrously overly large. I have to surmise you are using something the size of a muscular forearm for speaker cable.
Seems with the ease of removing these cards why not solder direct and eliminate that tenuous USB connector's connection? Would you be concerned with wearing out the MB slot?
AS I look through I will bother you again, and again ...

because its simple less is more etc etc
and the siliverstones well regarded over at xxhighend
its better than the rear mobo port oob thats always a good start!
right theres 3 pins on this pcie slot that need to be covered/taped up,
believe it or not theres still noise on my pc apparently as it wasn't enough to power the new clock with a lifepo4 (which did provide the vast majority of the sq lift) but there was extra benefit of powering the usb chip from the lifepo4 too,
and ill take it all thanks very much
What does the line to the right of the XO signify?
What do you mean by the noise comment? Did you mean you need to use two batteries - one for the clock and another for the USB chip? Or what?
