Fear not, the questions of "What is Overclocking?," "How do I Overclock?," and "What is/How do I do a voltage mod?" will be addressed, including pomona grabbers

I got a problem while I'm OC'd:

I get high temps, how do I control it?
I hav a homemade maze1 for CPU & NB. but d fittings r only 1/8 w/ 6mm hose. I bought this from a frend who makes one.

Are small hose a no nos to watercooling? Especially in our country wer its 35c outside.

With OCing everyone wud definitely hav coolin probs. It wud be a help too.

Thanks

Uh, a 1/8" watercooling system may or may not work as effectively as a stock heatsink. Move up to 1/2" for a 1407% increase in coolant volume. 1/8" systems should be banned by the UN for inhumane treatment of processors ... and to be honest, your friend didn't do you any favors, bud.

Ya Thanks Air!
I'm planning to change the fittings & hav someone make me a "Be Cooling Cu tube with Al turbulators inside, Al fins Radiator"

Do u think this is a nice combo for an ambient temp of 35c during 12:00pm? Its too hot here in Asia.

Thanks again

Cu + Al = no no

Another thing for the FAQ

Indeed. We've now registered a domain for the FAQ to go to when it is done, so it's getting closer.
