Default water cooling on TechTv "Screensavers"

anyone here see that lame show? i mean where the hell did they dig up that first system? it had waterlines thinner than my pinky!! and the rad? yeah it was all copper, but they were trying to use a rad smaller than my hand( loop and fin design no less!) to cool down an Athlon?? hella lame.

they did show the koolance system, which while its "nifty" is still WAY under powered. i am really surprised they didn't have someone from procooling or overclockers.com or hell ANYONE out there with a REAL system to show off. just depressing.

on the other fin it was nice to see a little WC exposure outside of the net.

They did actually contact me about a year ago.

But they really just dropped the ball.

hell I am halfway tempted to call them up and demand they put a real tech on the show.

it was a 133 fsb chip. he killed one chip before the show, and i suppose 3 in the past. his old chip went to 151 fsb with stock cooling, so i suppose he was trying to show the "power of watercooling"....lol

watercooling is great because of stability and quiet. i have never gotten so much as 1 mhz more out of any of my chips when switching from air cooled to water....but they sure as hell were more stable at thier peak speed!

but if you put 2.3v through it, you'll get a lot more out of water

Brad is right I dont know how you could cool a athlon at 2.3Vcore with air cooling water is the only way and boy does it do a good job and you dont have the screaming delta 60-80mm in your case

it might be possible to use either a pal8045 and a 92mm adapter with a 110cfm delta, or use a big slot A alpha and 2x 60mm 44cfm fans......

Hey I dont know if U remember, but a while back, they DID have Cold Dogs water cooled system, and a few others from the hard forum on there, mainly focusing on custom cases though, but had some nice quality water cooled system, Stilts from Faraday Platings even made them a custon case.
