Hercules 8500 waterblock is finished, I did oc. to 340/340 not bad for LE based card with 4ns ddr. I'm no.4 in 3dmark overall in athlon xp, 8500 category, I already sold that block and also got new card Gigabyte 8500 LE (I went too far oc. my herc, and didn't saw that display was full of artifact while benching, so even after I shut down artifact stayed, but I got that Gigabyte instead so everything turns OK for me).
So I already started Gigabyte watercooling project modified and improved from mistakes I made on Hercules

I am 36 and a Clinical Psychologist.

I work with people during the day, and computers during my time off.

It works for me.

Kibbler: it's not a PhD, just quite an equivalent, and would take 1 year less than a PhD. Here it's called Engineer Diploma, and is dispensed in specialized engineer schools after 3 years. I had mine at the age of 24. To get a Doctorate (strict PhD like) it would be 2 years more - 1y more than the PhD.

The C64 was not watercooled I started PC watercooling in 1999, mainly because of the fans noise.

Not quite... my interest is divided among quite a few things right now, but one of them is municipal water supply systems and water purification. It just so happens however that there are a few things that I learn in those courses (including a couple more courses in pure fluid dynamics) that can be applied to my hobby, that's all... I swear.

So ... you're studying how to hijack the municipal water system to flow across your processor ... that's even better! Where are you going to get a 50000GPH pump from, though? And wouldn't it be noisy?

Whoa, that must be one hell of a water block ....

oo, I win, 14

but the thing is, I am much more mature than a lot of people... now if someone would just give me a job!

but seriously, I have been using computers since I was 3, and heavily into it since 11.

now our range is 14-70
