A cooling advantage...

Postby Skligmund » Tue Jan 11, 2005 9:13 pm

One advantage of water cooling in Alaska...


That's an Eheim 1048 Water pump and WAL-MART pre-mixed 50/50 anti-freeze, diluted again to 75w/25c
Image

This is the transmission cooler I was gonna put in my truck, but I sold it before I did. 2 120mm fans zip-tied to it. The plasic coat-hanger was put there to give distance from the building wall for the fans. (Give me a break, it was 4 AM)
Image

And then the screenshot of my ASUS Probe. Current outside temperature: 4 F
Image

I don't have any fans, except my GeForce 6800GT's (hopefully soon to be rectified) and my PSU, in my computer.

That 1.9 volts is what gets me at 2430 MHz (AXP3524 equivelent) with an AXP 2100 (1733 MHz).

1.65v

It's a T-Bred 'B'

Here is the pic of my messy case (airflow isn't exactly something I worry about anymore) with the el-cheepo waterblock. In this picture, you see 3 of the 4 fans in my computer, 2 on the graphics card, and there are 2 in the PSU, you see the inside one (obviously).

Image

my case isn;t set up for optimal airflow, nor is it set up for looks... currently.

Does the temperature  of the CPU change based on the type program you are running?  I detect a slight change in the sound emitting from my PC whenever I play graphic intensive program. Also, is an occasional (seldom but it happens)  unexplained restart of my PC an indication of instability that could be due to overclocking?
