This is sort of pulling this out of the dead, but I just thought I'd let you guys know that I am currently planning on making a Direct Die cooling block and am going to test the reliability of an AMD Athlon XP 1400+ over a 3 month period. I'll reply back with any updates, including the Ambient, Idle, and Burn temperatures of the processor as it continues through the weeks, and any Crashes that may occur. It will be a Gentoo Linux system, so the probability of it being the OS crashing will be lower. I'll let you guys know how it goes, and I'll post 3D pics of my water block ideas later.
Until next time,
Jonathan
