DJ Phaze Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 The ultimate in overclocking tool really, what sort of temp do they generate at the surface, with no loads attached i.e no cpu running? I've read that people have had P4's up to 4.4GHz and still had temps below 0 (Y) Just out of intrest what do you do with your amazing watercooled computer? ← What do I do with it? Well.... I'm a bit of a computer geek (if you hadn't noticed :(), and it was part of a project..... I game quite a bit - and as I don't have the £££ to pour into the latest hardware, I have to push my current kit harder.... I also do multimedia dev - but that doesn't require that much extra omph. In regards to the compressor temperatures - they get to about -50'C sometimes..... Running at 4.4Ghz, they probably get about -20'C or something, depending on their cooler liquid (differnet liquids have different cooling properties....and prices....ahem) With liquid nitrogen, people have pushed the 5Ghz barrier.... :: Phaze :: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 They start at arround £100 for a CPU only setup (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 not exactly stable or practical though is it tommmmmmmmm :( ← Neither is standing next to your PC pouring liquid nitrogen into it... -130*C though (Y) In fact, if you ask me, neither are those Vapochill units. They are noisy and have little use apart from for showing off your clock speed... (In my opinion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMonkey Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 That's insane, I'd love to see how long it could handle that without a crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
