I want to drop a hint here about watercooling that will boost performance on it and get that C/W ratio to 0.00 ... compression fittings. 5 years ago I started using them and figured everyone else would catch on, but I still see people using hose clamps!!! We didn't ask dangerden to start making radiators with threaded holes so that people could just put hose barbs back in them, we asked for the radiators to be manufactured that way so we could insert threaded compression fittings, and have that perfect, immovable, screwed-on seal in the case so they could actually be shipped around the country. The compression fittings also increased the thermal transfer properties a ton because of the pressure of the water coming down on the waterblock through the fitting, and I always get room temperature temps now no matter what, and have for years (hell it's easier now that chips aren't 95w). straight 0.00 C/W

Compression Fittings in action with a MAZE4

btw, good to see ya UnaClocker, all my watercooling started with gettin more and more info and then even that 1GHz AVIA Athlon chip and waterblock from you back in 2000 or 2001 or whenever it was. Got that puppy to 1.7, 1.63 stable

Good times. Just wanted to say Hi.

Peace and Chilled Cooling All.
