I'm sorry for the lack of updates, but was so busy finishing the systen that didn't have time to post. :shrug:
The hurry was that it needed to be ready for an overclocking competition that happened yesterday. It was sponsored by corsair and the first prize was an athlon 64 CPU, Mobo and memory kit
Sooo, for the non believers
: It worked very well, nothing died, and I managed to get the third place!
This block was a success considering that most bets were against it, but it managed to sustain the same level of overclock that previously was achievable with a powerfull fan directed to the mosfets. I had hopes of reaching a higher oc level, but considering that this was a quick and raw experiment, results were outstanding!
Now to the pics:
1- Leak testing, it was tested for a full night and everything looked ok in the morning.
2- First run! mobo is alive and the system is ok! it included a volt moded gf 440 mx
3- another view of the full system mess, including custom splitters made in about 1 hour!
4- My pc proudly shows his hard earned prize.
Some specs: Cpu Athlon xp 1700+ jiuhb dlt3c 0803 @ 2557 mhz
Gf4 mx 440; stock 275/525; oc 390/780
The competition was a series of benchmarks, and what counted was stock vs. oc speed jump, not final absolute score.
The place was incredibly hot due to more than 20 power hungry machines, ambient was at about 35°C!
