What is the score with AMD's 'not being waterproof'? I can't make out if people mean it's the 'organic substrate' (which is obvious) or the silicon core wafers themselves? or the edges where the wafers are 'stacked'? (which could be sealed as aforementioned)...

PS, welcome back! ...
The pics should be there now. My host has had some problems lately. Good thing is their main site is on the same server my site is on so they are quick to fix it.

Non of it is really water proof but the biggest issue is where the body of the cpu meets the die. The peices are not bonded together and they use somekind of sealant around that. If you look close you will see a greenish sealant that looks as if it was poured on over the die and it seaps onto the body of the CPU.


As for the the thread I pulled those quotes from it was all one sided on their site. I never said a word in that thread nor will I ever think about joining that rediculous site. The guy was just bent out of shape because he got questioned on his testing methods after he posted his article here that had rediculous temps with no water or air temps shown and he claims his overclock is the determining factor for how good it is. He started a thread there to hear is ignorant followers praise him for something they don't really understand. This alone is why I stopped posting my projects at other sites. Here I know most people can understand and really appriciate the work I do for the most part.

Arcturius: Interesting that the die is visably eroding. Just proves that sooner or later it will wear through. Well I woke up a freaking 5am this morning for some reason. It is 5:50am now and I still need to test the Duron to make sure it works so I will do that now before I got to work. If it does work I will be testing out what my Lemon Block can do and then the maze 4 and then the direct die block. The reason for the other two blocks is I need a comparision on the same rig and I am making an article about this whole project for my website. I want to cover as many bases as I can before posting an article.
