  1. New info due 6-1 or 6-2 on CPU Cooling Insanity · · Score: 5

    Hello All,

    Some quick info.

    Who an I?
    Average Joe overclocker, a bit extreem, a dreamer, and a bad spellar.

    Why did I do this?
    Always wanted to cool it a bit more but hated condensation problems (still have em but not for long). I love to learn and tinker. The concept was simple.

    Why do I not tell any good info of cpu or new speed?
    Long story short. I have talked about this type of thing for years (even on Tom's list server). No one paid heed unless they said that I was crazy (true). I have my own web page (blah). Out of two years I have about 2,000 hits. Guess who's homepage my site is? Me. So most of them were me hitting my own site. I took some pictures and tried a Kodak digital service. I also was trying to learn some FrontPage98 on a server that supported FrontPage Server Extensions. Posted pics. Mailed pics to Voodoo Extreeme, HarOCP, and talked on Ace's Hardware. No bites except for an offer IF I gave an exclusive. No dice. I wanted any and all to learn, look and question. EverQuest and something else made me have to reformat my drive (forget). This caused me to loose my web site access (new). I started tinker on designing some concrete lined speakers and crossovers. I got home from work and BLAM. 4,600 hits!!!!!! Wow!!!
    5 news sites! WOW! Email and tons of it. I started answereing them. I tried to update my site explaining the speed and such but I had problems (still do).Time for bed (I run a 225,000 sq. ft. super store at night). I got up and 11,500 hits! :) You saw a spring in my step! Here I am STILL not updating my site or siliconing my box 2! (I had some good talks though)

    What the HELL speed are you at?
    Retail Celeron 333 MHz
    Fan Heatsink 416 MHz
    Liquid cooling 416 MHz (WHAT?!?)
    The quick is that until I get the coils submerged in box 2 (that I need to start) I will not be able to run the AC non-stop. :( In a "dry test" (no oil) I got down to -38.5 C, but frost stoped me yet again. I got to 10 C or 12 C (NOT negitive) when I noticed ice forming and powered down.

    What are my Gaols?
    See my web site and kick my arse if I don't update it 6-1 or 6-2.

    Eamils are all welcome. I will help anyone in similar interests.

    I hope this clears some things up,
    Dr. Ffreeze

  4. I have removed teh cards with no problems... on CPU Cooling Insanity · · Score: 5

    Hello All,

    Thin layer of oil has not caused a problem.

    I wanted to overclock my CPU and Video card. Many also overlock the fact that the RAM and therefore the FSB (front side bus) will be able to be overclocked. The lock on Intel sucks though.

    Hello,

    I will take a look at this later, but one of my passions is to learn. Until now, I have not got very many bites on teh subject.

  6. Benchmarks... on CPU Cooling Insanity · · Score: 2

    Hello,

    Sorry, as I mentioned before this site was mostly for me. I had no idea that there would be this much interest. FrontPage98 is giving me fits and I am now caught answering ICQ and emails. I have no benchmarks because I hit a speedbump. I got frost/ice buildup. Did I not know that this would happen? Yes, but I am in testing. This box was actually for my old K6-2 300 ASUS T2P4 (still love that board!). When box 2 is done Tue. I hope I will have some hard numbers!

    Sorry for lack of #'s,

    Hello,

    Not really a big deal but it was fun doing it. It is cool realizing that ALL of my components can be overclocked. CPU, RAM, and Video card. Plus I can adapt it to any system board.

    Hello All,

    Thank you dattaway! Mineral oil is also used to help make telsa coils. That is where I got the idea.

    Scraps of styrofoam, parts, and clutter. welcome to my Computer room. That has nothing to do with my skills, intelect, or theories. I think that dattaway hit the nail on the head again, PROTOTYPE. :)

  11. Water kicks butt, but.. on CPU Cooling Insanity · · Score: 1

    Hello,

    Water (if it were to remain ultra pure) would be great! That ultra-pure clause gets you every time. :(

    Plus, as someone stated it would ffreeze. Sure you could add antifreeze but how would it react to the plastics?

    I was not going to gamble with water because of the EXTREEME need for purity.

    FYI,

  12. Doofus is my middle name! on CPU Cooling Insanity · · Score: 5

    Hello,

    Might I share a bit? "Didn't understand conventional cooling methods, so..." Not true. Not true at all.
    True. Very True. I am still in testing. The web page was mostly for my tinkering, otherwise I would (and will) offer MUCH many explinations. The 170 GPH pump is temp. Box 2 will allow the coils to be submerged in the oil.
    Pressure? Not when the oil gets cold. It's like Mapel Syrup on a cold Winter day. I knew that I needed TONES of capacity if it were to pump the oil when it got to extreme temps. I was wrong in that the pump (or any for that matter that would fit) is not strong enough. I will have to look at other ways to agitate the oil.
    Possible suspicion, but faulse. 3 weeks and running. :)

    Hello All,

    I can't wait until I get to work on my site. Work and such. This project was for me and so was the web site. I was just tinkering. I talked about it and no one listened or said that I was crazy. Ok. Not a problem. BLAM. 20,000 in on day! Questions out the wazoo. I will answer all emails but it will take some time. I WILL be updating with some benchmarks (dugh). I will get very detailed if the desire to know is out there. I am still in TESTING. Box 2 Tuesday 5-31-99 should allow for all out AC operation with no worry of condensation. Box 2 will come complete with LID!
