Installed some new cooling equipment on my desktop. Im overclocking my AMD 64 3500+, and overclocking my PCI-E ATI Card as well as soon as my VGA water cooling block comes in. Please excuse the mess of wires!

Hey now, the chicks dig it!
lol i know.. we <3 you georgie!! i mean whorgieeeee!!!
That made me horny...

it's just somethin' about liquid and electronics, that I dont plan on puttin' em in my tower = P

did you do the leak test?
No siggy as of right now
correcto, and as a precaution I even put some thread sealer around the edges of the threading where the hose fits over. On top of that the fitting squeezes the tubing. So there's double protection.
you need sleeves for those PSU wires badly. what system did you use?

When I get the money I am going to build myself a Duel Core Athlon 64. Water cooling makes me nervous but it is still cool as hell. looks like a good clean installation to.
Dual cores aren't as good for gaming.
Unless they're the like, top-notch ones.
A San Diego chipset-based AMD64 3700+ will out-game a 3500+ AMD64 Athlon X2 processor.
I want the 3700+ San Diego chip..price is like, half what it was 6 months ago.
That, and 1GB, maybe 2GB of some OCZ Platinum PC4000 RAM.
Throw in a Radeon X1800XT, 256MB GDDR3, PCI-E of course.
Yeah, then I'll be happy.
With the right setup and right cooling, I could overclock that 3700+ to a 4200+
buwahahahahaha!!!!
Of course, we're talking roughly $600 in the future, here.
But now that the FD is gone...
SOOOOOOON!!!!!!
^_^
Thanks man, just need to do something about those damn power wires.
pretty nice liquid cooling system, i wanna get the zalmen one with that huge external resivior

dual core won't do too much for gaming, doens't it split tasks between aplication. each core works on a single things... so only 1 core will focus on the game...
No siggy as of right now
I will be doing alot of programming and what not in the future that will require some processor stuff and I do play COD2 and some of the very hardware insense games. So I am going to go with the duel core. Plus it sounds cool.
My brother built one of these things for one of his not computer people friends. "Money is no object" entered the question.
Duel Core Athlon 64, top notch video card, top notch ram (and alot of it), you get the picture. I dont think anything other than something with SLI could out do this thing.
dude i hope you dont electricute yourself w/that shit. damn; i know i would lol
Stupid question, but what does water cooling do for a computer?
instead of using a fan on your processor. you run water through a block that sits on the processor, just like you would a fan. you can also do it on video cards, north bridge chips. its much more efficient.
aka keep it cooler....
No siggy as of right now
yeah but my drawn out post made it sound cooler. lol!
Jaime overclocking basically = i'm not getting laid anytime soon so atleast i can pull a few more 100mhz to show my Ecock to my fellow noob while playing: quake, cs, wow, etc... basically RICE for your pc.
It is the biggest waste of money to do basiclly nothing. I remember overclocking my K6 and MMX chips, but as soon as you get over 3000mhz range what is the point? Why don't you just build a network of machines so you don't have to use vaulable processing for other programs then what the machine is set for?
anywho your rig your $$$ enjoy it.
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)
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
so jealous. george hook me up on a setup like that if i buy the parts. pentium 4 processor. i forget the plug connection numbers for it.
no one mentioned that water cooling is often DEAD SILENT... my friend removed his case fan... his PC is sooo silent you cant hear anything except the hard disk and the CD drive on occaision.

I like, i just picked up new vid card,ram, and now going to get a new proc/mobo. and WoW
Its just a bodykit
yall are all nerds! lol
lol this thread is so dorky.
Do you have a stock radiator on your car? Cause that would be funny.
Yep pretty dorky I guess!
Nope , no stock radiator. I have an SVT Radiator from a Tour, so I guess maybe since its not an aftermarket per say it still is stock, but it didnt come with my car so I guess it isnt stock. Stock is stock though. My Z has a stock STOCK radiator though! ...............
Thank you for giving me that BJ the other night baby
I remember back in the day when I used my 9th grade science project as an excuse to watercool my AMD 1700+ it was the shit. I did take it towards the "ricy" side cause i used UV reactive dye in the water and blacklights to identify the system and demonstrate the flow. I actually never managed to get the proc. over 1700 mHz though... still a 244 MHz jump isn't too god awful. Setup looks good man! I'll give you a hint on all those power wires- split loom and black zip ties can do wonders
Who knows?
