The Overclocked Computers Thread

[Amey]

I know this is a forum dedicated to cars, modding and all but i though why not the computer nerds too have soem fun
So here is a thread dedicated to 'Modded,tweaked,whacky' Coumputers.
I hope the Admins/Mods dont mind.

-Pot-

-Mounting-

-Motherboard Preparation & Pot Mounting-

[Amey]

-TestBed in action-

-Pune is chilling for sure -

-Some Initial Scores-

Setup -
Intel C2D E8400/Q6600
Abit IX38 QuadGT
1GB*2 Team Xtreem PC2 5400 CL3
Seventeam ST 600EAD
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD3850 512MB

Thats all for now. More will come soon. Pot's initial impression looks decent.

Thanks,
Amey

Is that ice that we see on top of the pot?

Could you explain the photos you have posted above?

[gkrishn]

Thats a cool thread.

BTW is the above config is on your system?

[low_bass_makker]

I think it will some thing like Liquid nitrogen !!!

[reignofchaos]

You can either use LN2 or Dry Ice+Acetone in a pot like that. Great for short fun benching sessions.

@ Sankar,
Yeah its frost on the top of the pot.
Explain the photos...well its a copper pot used on the CPU to cool it, As mentioned by ROC, I have used Dry Ice +Acetone mixture,which gives me -70c temperature.
Very useful for extreme overclocking.

@ LBM, how i wish it was true, unfortunately even though LN2 itself is cheap, the dewar to store it is expensive :(
Wish to do LN2 one day,when i can afford the Dewar
@gkrishn,
Yep thats part of my Benching setup.

BTW, Moralfibre made me start this thread.lol

[Nikhilb2008]

You simply HAD to start this thread, didnt you ? Darn Showoff !!

hey nice job on the thermal design , but why don't you try thermocouple to do the same, no need for the liquids...just a suggestion....

Good to see that. One day you will be doing with Liquid Nitrogen also.

I told a little liberty here.

Here is a over clocker guru at a competition in Singapore....

There are few cooler which work with this principle

X-bit labs - Titan Amanda TEC (Thermal Electronic Chip) Cooler Review

X-bit labs - Ultra Chill-TEC vs. Ultra-X or the Battle of Thermo-Electric Cooler and Air Cooler

[reignofchaos]

Here's my best so far... motherboard limited. The board has an FSB wall. CPU will go higher



Benching Config:

Intel C2D E8400
Abit IP35-E
2GB GSkill 2GBHZ
ATI x300.
On air cooling with an Ultra-120

I hope you do know that Amey is the guy in blue in these pics

I guess you do....

I would post my results too, but it is embarassing to post 3200+ ocs in this thread

I have worked with thermocouples ....thats why I told , to try it..... one can build these things at home with a little know how and tools....

[reignofchaos]

TECs are risky for CPUs... if the junction fails, the CPU will fry. Also cooling the hot side is a lot of pain and to cool a modern quad core CPU, you'd need a 350W TEC which means huge power consumption. Using dry ice is much easier, also less risky and gives way lower temperatures.
