Do you really have that PPro to 266? I bought 2 200mhz PPros with 1mb cache but then couldnt see spending so much on a mobo and DIMMs when I could get a xeon mobo with SDRAM for cheaper!

Always thought it would make a cool "retro" box, just because the processors are so massive!

Damn that system licks a fat cock.

They are complete f u c k i n morons. Hell im 15 and built my water cooler 4 bajillion times better then that POS. They need some SERIOUS help on how to cool down things......

wow! I never knew that running a PC150 ram at 112MHz would be stable

Quote:
I found I was able to gradually increase the FSB to 112 MHz, with the machine finally hanging during the 3DMark2000 test when the FSB was set at 113MHz. At 112MHz, the memory bus is running at 149MHz. Not only was the Corsair 150MHz 100% stable at this frequency
look at there full review here

Joe, quite frankly, you're a goon. Admittedly this guy has some problems, but you had a few brain farts criticizing him. #1 epoxying a block is pretty ghetto. But soldering one has it's own limitations... differences in the coefficients of expansion can cause stresses that can crack the bond, possibility (although remote) of galvanic corrosion, etc. #2 (the BIG one) HSF on the block which you claim tries to absorb heat from the ambient surroundings... this is preposterous. You're cooling that water with AMBIENT AIR. The best you can ever hope for in a perfect straight up watercooling system is whatever temperature ambient is.... how in the HELL is a heatsink on top of the block going to "collect" heat you tit!?-it's surrounded by the same ambient the radiator is!!!-In other words, it's just like the other radiator, only at a different point in the system. The _only_ disadvantage of that quirky setup is increasing the heatload of the case. Of course it doesn't do a whole whopping lot of good there either unless a disaster strikes like a pump failure which is certainly possible, but it's not the disaster you make it out to be. In any event Joe, if you aim to keep any respect I'd watch your words more carefully

What's the big deal with epoxy? if you get the right stuff you can repair engine blocks with it, so why not a waterblock? :P

Well Joe hasn't answered you yet so I guess I will...

Ok the problem with the Heatsink on the block is this. You said yourself that the block is being cooled with (hopefully) room temp water. Which usually places the block at room temp. Now, the inside of the case is being heated up by the air being pulled in through the radiator. Now your blowing that hot air over your heatsink on the block which heats it up and dumps it back in the water. Which goes to the radiator, and gets blown back into the case.

So you've effectively created a nice little oven. You NEVER suck into the case through the radiator. The point is to REMOVE the heat from the case to somewhere else, not dump it back in.

Easy to solve that by ducting the radiator exhaust out the side of the case

Well I will take some time out of my day to entertain your sorry argument:

You know, if you solder 2 pieces of the same material together, they expand at the same rate and there for the solder has little if any stress. Solder = one helluva stronger bond than glue.

Sigh... have you checked the ambient temp inside some boxes? with a hot GPU, Chipset, HD's, DVDROM's, etc... ambient in a box ( since many people who water cool seem to think they don’t need fans all of a sudden) can reach well over 105DegF. If you offer more surface to the air in the case, and if the water which is going past that HS is cooler than the internal case air, it will absorb heat from that HS. If you have a block that cant move the heat effectively to the water alone, maybe you need a new waterblock and not just slap a big ole ineffective HSF on top of it. Why not just get a good HSF at that point?

you tit.

One thing you will learn about me noob, I speak my mind, and tell it how it is, I don't hide my feelings about a product in order to keep people happy. Live with it, or make your own decision about a product. the truth is, YOU and you alone are the only person who can say if you like or dislike a product. I am just pointing out what I like/dislike about it. I personally respect people who have the balls to make their own choices in the world, not those who play by the rules of others. If you like the block that’s cool. I just pointed out what I see as flaws in it, take it or leave it.

God I hate these politically correct days... Ohh I hope I didn't hurt anyone’s feelings ...

OMG i just read the article... I gotta say this pic is the funnies thing i've EVER seen related to H2O cooling...

nice combo setup there!
