Watercooled System - Updated

Don't want to piss on your party people, but I'm pretty sure electricity and water is slightly dangerous.

Why did you go for a triple rad when you're only cooling the cpu?

Because I have an i7 Extreme 965 CPU and it will be overclocked to 4GHz and over.

LOL dont worry it isnt just standard water in my loop its a coolent. The one I am using is one of the best, this guy had a major leek (pinched o-ring and it came pissing out) all over his components when they were on and it was fine, didnt affect it one bit lol.

So?

I run my Q6600 at 4GHz, and cool that with a 3x120mm, with an overclocked 8800GTX in the same loop...

Big woop for you:clap:

 

[Munson]

Why would anyone run an 8800GTX on water? They're slow enough to use a passive air sink aren't they?

 

[Adam]

It seems a waste to WC those old components anyway ...

Adam

are there no condensation problems??

 

[Adam]

Adam

are there no condensation problems??

Nope none at all

Its running like a peach aswell

 

[Andy_con]

really?

no condensation around the ecu??

 

[Adam]

ecu????

 

[Andy_con]

pffffffffffffffffff on another planet?

processor

 

[Adam]

lol nope there is nothing

 

[Andy_con]

umm ok cool

 

[Adam]

sounds like your disappointed ...

 

[Andy_con]

haha no not at all.

i have been playing with a tec to cool a laser.

been running the tec at about -10 and im getting plenty of condensation on the laser case

so was just wondering if you could use a tec to cool a processor

 

[Adam]

tec??

thats only a small tec, i have bigger.

one side goes to -20 and the other goes to +50 roughly, although im running mine at -10

so you need to add a heat sink and fan to cool the hot side. the cooler you keep the hot side the cooler the cold side will be.

 

[Adam]

wow lol, it looks very complicated!!!

Sounds like you would be able to achieve some nice temps if it could be setup properly

 

[Andy_con]

na its dead easy.

build or buy a tec driver (£30) add power (12v) attach a tec and bingo.

just make sure the hot and cold side are the right way round lol.

so ive got a dell 1300, currently runninf a 1.73ghz, i believe it can only run a 2ghz max.

could i overclock the processor?

im looking at buying a used 2ghz processor for £30

 

[Adam]

Ill take your word for it ..

hmmm if that is the case then it may not be worth the risk. Do you know what the exact CPU is?

well for the price i dont care about the risk, if it goes wrong ill put my old processor back in

 

[Adam]

Sorry mate I meant it being a risk trying to OC your existing one.

Yeah the new one looks fine and I doubt wouldn't need any more than 2GHz

 

[Andy_con]

ah i see

you can never have enough ghz

so would it be possible to OC then? sounds like a fun project

 

[Adam]

I doubt you would see any more GHz's but more like a few more hundred MHz's.

I am not that up on mobile processors tbh, maybe have a look over on www.overclock.net

 

[Smiff89]

f**k me...ott

 

[Adam]

f**k me...ott

my wc setup is quite tame compared to others!

 

[Aluco]

Lovely job =]

 

[Adam]

Lovely job =]

Thanks

 

[Andy_con]

adam what program are you using to monitor the processors performance? and where can i download it from?

 

[Adam]

I don't really monitor its performance.

I use cpuz to see its current values etc...

Little Update

Installed 2x Blue UV Cathodes today so took some pics, the room isn't dark so its not a full affect!

Also a screen of my OC and temps, well just idle for now

 

[Adam]

Just finished my custom side Window, pretty pleased with the result but I am going to rub it down and give it a coat of satin black as there are a few marks.

Few iPhone pics.....
