Installed Water Cooling on PC

[v3rd1g0]

easyiest way to over clock is to just raise the FSB on unlocked processors(AMD usually). Over clocking is NOT what you would call rice. relating it to cars. using water cooling and over clocking is like installing a turbo and upping the psi. basically more bang for you buck. just with fan cooling i oc'd like .5ghz. that's a pretty good jump.

when you are overclocking you up the voltage when it becomes unstalbe, but upping the voltage causes heat to raise. this is where the liquid cooling comes in. keeping the temp down. i've seen videos of where processors get fried. crazy stuff if you don't know what you are doing. serious research is needed before you overclock.

Ok, but does it make the computer work or do anything any faster? Does it make it DO anything faster or better? I assume it will have inherent advantages in the long run, but what are some of the short term advantages?

Again, not asking this to be a dick or anything. I'm genuinely curious.

liquid cooling is just as it would be on a turbo/supercharger... longer life, more power, better response

On a day to day basis, you will not notice any difference by overclocking. The only difference you would see is in game play or really processor intense applications like AutoCAD. If you can keep your equipment running within normal operating temperatures, there is no long term effects. Some people do overclocking with just fans and even though their programs may run fine, the longetivity of this hardware suffers.

In other words, if you are a normal PC user doing Excel, Word, internet surfing, none of this is to your advantage.

If you do it correctly with fans and thermal paste you can be fine. artic silver 5 :-D plus a nice thermal take wind tunnel style fan does wonders

yep i use a jet 4 for my cpu. and have been running my 2.8 northwood at 3.65 for a year and a half. all that it takes is the right fans memory timing and some luck (cause as you know v3rd all cpu's dont overclock the same)

yes i know this quite well. lots of different.

holy shit i just saw a video of a guy over clocking a p4 to 5.5 GHZ!!!!!!!!!!! using liquid nitrogen

I got my tower all pimped out but don't have liquid cooling, that is cool! (pun intended). PCs are deginately more fun to look at these days. Nice work.

a normal user wouldnt know how to do it correctly. also i do have my comp running on th upper end of normal. it is possible without W-C. but what i have found is if you set up the memory timming the computer will last longer
