brilliantly rubbish?

[eyimbo]

hey all,

had a brilliant idea 2 minutes ago, have a look at this

http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.asp?idx=160&code=021

my idea is to attach 2 of these things one after the other, and therefore run my system quieter and OC it a bit more.

actually i have two systems, one's a P4 prescort(sorry...had i know i would have got a northwood!) 2.8G 533, overclocked to 3.7ish!! no joke, i'm serious! 2.8G to 3.7! it's a bargin! and it is stable! unfortunatly this also mean the smart fan screams louder than my girlfriend when under full load, it's idleing at 65'c!!

my other is a 3500+venice, overclocked from 2.2 to 2.56, i.e. 10X 255mhz, i've never been able to do any worth while OC ing with the mulitiplier set at 11X

so guys let me know what you think, weather you think it's mad and pointless or you think it's worthwhile. TY

Running 2 water coolers in serial will not help cooling when compared to just one, in fact it may even hurt progress.

Of course the colder the water going in, the more heat it will take with it when it passes a given component, and the ordering of what to cool first, then 2nd, then 3rd, (eg: GPU, GPU, Chipset, or Chipset, CPU, GPU, etc), could be discussed for some time at length. (Assuming it doesn't have seperate pipes / coils for each device being cooled).

Unless you have an Athlon 64 FX, the multiplier on the CPU is going to be locked. So you can only really FSB overclock both those systems.

ARR!! interesting point... i don't understand why it wouldn't help doing it in serial... IT COULD in theory be possible to do it in parallel providing the pipes and sockets would stand the pressure.

The multiplier on the 64 3500+ venice is only locked upwards, so i decided to go from 11 to 10 and then up the fsb instead.which is ok, i was advised to do this by someone here and yeah it worked.

Where it might help... just an idea....

Tank 1
-> CPU
-> Tank 2
-> Chipset
-> GPU
-> Tank 1

Not sure if that would help or not.

Keep in mind, you should have at least one case fan any way for things like the hard drive, the MOSFETs (Or whatever they are), and other potential components, but 2 low speed 120 MM fans should take care of most of that with little noise.

Hey! not a bad idea at all! not sure if you know shuttle amd cases, but had another in addition to that i was thinking out using an untra quite 120mm fan with a 120 radiator inside the case as a case fan after the cpu, just to help things out, also i was thinking of glueing one of the tanks outside the window, it's winter in the UK and it's 6'C outside! just an idea, let me know what you think

I am also very temped to but the same resivour and screw it a wall outside (uk aswell). And why wont 2 is series work besides maybe lack of pressure (damn van der waals).

And 6'c, nice and warm then, freezing here tonight.

 

[unsmart]

Why not just add a 120mm radiator after the cpu in place of the NB block. I don't think that would lower the psi that much. Plus active cooling is good anuff for a NB.

yeah, it's the GPu i'm worried about

 

[CallumN]

What GPu? And im sure you could get an uprated pump, summot like a pump for a fish pond. Or you can get the pumps for central heating unit for bout £30-40, and they're damn powerful.

yes but the whole point is to make an overclocked system silent, a fish tank pump just isn't gonna do that, but thanx anyways
