Water Cooling

blah... movin this to my "damnit" post

Settle down there King... You sound like you are about to blow your load!

The No was 30 seconds in... the other 2 Yes screams were at 31 & 32 sec's respectively 8)

If you're really into Overclocking on a serious level then you may consider W/Cing, if you get yourself a full series kit [including CPU, Chipset, GPU heatsink coolers, Water Pump, External Radiator w Cooling Fans etc.] then you can expect quite some setup time, took me over 4 hrs to set mine up, so make absolutely positive you want to go this route, cause the really good kits cost a few bucks to attain.

I'm presently not W/Cing because my cooling pump died and I had to have it replaced, and haven't decided to invest the time of setting it all back up again, but bragging rights only come when you O/C to the point you're way past what air cooling can do, and W/Cing has its limitations also and if you loose the cooling you could loose everything.

So heres your cautious post, if you develope a leak as I did [But thankfully caught it with the system unpowered] you also could loose everything !!!!!!!!!

I would inspect my system every time before I went to power it up which I never had to worry about at all with Air Cooling, I'm really not trying to discourage you just letting you know what you're getting into, water and electrical components do not get along good together, if you never have a leak you never have a problem, but it only takes 1 leak.

So when everyones glorifying how great W/Cing is, its a labor to set up, and something you constantly need to monitor, so consider this post in your planning or remember it down the road when trouble is knocking on your door.

I used and someday will reuse the WaterChill system, but there are cheaper kits out there just as good, and stay away from pushlok connectors if you can, if they are not all the way in the seating pipe they will leak.

Hope that helps! Ryan

To get one step closer to 30k. But it'll do you no good. You need 40k, to have bragging rights over DH. Better step on it.

what kind of TV?

Just put in an A/C unit and keep your room at about 67F and then you won't have any problems air cooling. Plus your new bf will surely appreciate it.

If you play your cards right you won't need any clothes, even in a 67 degree room.

Cheapest thing to do is to buy a small refridgerator. Put your computer in there, you're good to go. Plus, you have a place to store your booze and frozen hot pockets.

I actually bought a 5 cubic' freezer and used it to chill my liquid. With some effort it would get the temps down close to 0 and maintain those temps even though some will say im full of crap. I dont think that I would go to that much trouble again, but when I was hurt and couldnt work it gave me something to do. At the time, I had one of the fastest socket 775 systems out there. In fact, I dare say that I had the fastest 775 on water.

it will be open 24/7...y'know... with wires and stuff coming out of it...

I wouldn't call toys power tools... the day a vibrator can drill a hole in a wall... well I dunno

silicates, homie.
