View Full Version : Tuniq+Watercooled Laptop
Well seeing as the new section needs a few threads to get it started, I thought I'd post what I got up to the end of last year with my laptop!

I've since got a little bit of a bug for laptop benching as you'll see from my hwbot page. ;) I know someone put a LN2 Tube under their keyboard once...don't know if they overclocked it though!
Thoughts? :D

Yeah just about...

Had to plug in a monitor, keyboard and mouse, and hang the computer over the side of the table so I could press the on/off switch which is above the keyboard near the hinge!
What fun... :D

thats insane...you could actually built it in you desk, and make a support for the tuniq so that it sorta hangs but still has enough pressure:D

wow, i find it useless to be true.. you should have gotten a normal mobo and processor 'cause thats what you actually used of the laptop...

You ask why, I ask "why not?"
awesome!
what temps? default voltages?
congratulations... 1# :clap:

Don't give me ideas! :rofl:

The trouble is finding a clockgen that will work. I have benched a lot of laptops but not all of them are overclockable.

Can't remember, this was a while ago. I did have the patio doors open and it was December - I remember my thumb going number as I held the watercooling block down! ;)

I have two PC's as well. One is benching and testing rig for Digital Report reviews, and the other is my day-to-day web+surfing rig.

Beat me to it :D

Thanks! As I said, I can't remember temps - don't think I looked at all because the BIOS obviously doesn't let you increase voltages and I don't know how to find vcore mods etc.
The CPU could have gone a lot further but the laptop hit a brick wall at 120Mhz FSB and 200Mhz DDR1. I don't know which was responsible, but it wouldn't go 1Mhz further, after being 100% stable 1Mhz lower.
I took all the world records for the CPU and GPU, and this was even before I knew about LoD and other tweaks!
Thanks for the support guys, I appreciate it :clap:

is the tuniq fan plugged into your laptop?
i wouldn't think so, but if it is id be interested to know how/where
No it wasn't, I had a standard PSU plugged in running the Corsair Hydrocool unit and a fan controller for the Tuniq.
:)
Anyone else felt like running a few benchmarks becuase of this? I notice a couple of my hwbot records for other laptops have dropped a position or two since I posted this thread! :p:

It looks like you managed to bolt the tuniq tower to the mobo... make a hole in the table and you can use your laptop like normal again :ROTF:

Links don't work for me? :confused:

Not bolted, it was just resting on the NB and GPU. No holes are/were drilled! :eek:

Working here, anyone else?

Must've been because I was at work. I'm back at home now and the links work. Hey, there's even a picture in the first post! :rolleyes:

That's ok then! :)
I have the same thing at work - all free imaging sites like Imageshack are blocked so I don't see any photos. :shakes:

Not that... I didn't see the picture in the first post and your link didn't work. First time I've ever run into that problem while at work.

Nice job, no Project should ever be questioned! People get bored, and cool stuff happens.

Pretty sweet mod, not the first thing you would imagine a laptop to look like, but we're not here for the common stuff - you can find that at your local Best Buy. :)

cant you pad mod the cpu like a desktop cpu?

Very Cool !
I liked the LN2 one as well,can't believe some guys are asking why.
For these wanting "mobility'' there is a possibility:
with enough time and effort any laptop could be put in a car, maybe even hocked up to the car's cooling system ?:p:
