Given all the heat we will be generating, I don't think it will be a cold winter hahahaha.Quote:

As for heat, dude, milan usually has snow in january, this year we had 20c and trees in full-force flowery spring mode.. freaky O.o
HE LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Crediki, wondered where you dissapeared to.

Yeah, when I am done this bunch of reviews I am going to rig a shroud over my PA 120.3 to pull in outside air (currently 2c!) over it when I bench. It'll be interesting to see the differences in temps with really cold air blowing thru the rad. Gotta be careful to keep my water temps above the dew point or I'll have to deal with condensation.Quote:

Yep, CPU only loop.Quote:

yea my sister is lovin itQuote:

Don't you know its normal for a GIMONGUS piece of Canada to break away every year?
Its normal for 2-4" of snow in the desert?
this is just a freaky year for weather, global warming is probably not the cause of it, global warming will take at least a few more decades before its effects, if any, will be seen.
Back on topic, keep up the great work, hope to hear the results soon!
Would you be interested in adding an MCW6002 to that review, just to see how they stack up to it? I've got one with both s939 and s775 mounting plates. I'm not sure how flat it is anymore though, as it seems hard mounts on a bare core might have done something to it.Quote:

I have a terrible way with words, what I meant to say was that we haven't had a long enough of record of temps to accurately tell if global warming is a new occurrence or if the average temperature of the earth fluctuates as much as it has on a regular basis (on a millennial scale).

Also take into account the number of sources of pollution, even with saftey precautions and measures, look at the lenght of time Man was polluting the envroment, even LONG before it was a world wide concern.
The funny thing is, Ben Franklin is recorded as having made comments and writing about how man was affecting mother nature in the 17 hundreds. LONG before the Industrial revolution.
poor bastard must be doing back flips in grave nowQuote:

I have a set of beasty Corsair Dominator PC10K's coming. Reggie tells me my cascade is next on the bench. My PC P&C Turbo 1K is getting swapped for a single rail model and should be back in by Friday of this week coming. I have the cold air induction hooked up which ducts outside air and sends it across the rad. My water temps are averaging 5-7c below ambient. I will have volt mod my 8800GTX's this week by the time the psu comes back.
In other words. . .I am nearly ready to start torturing some G80 water blocks!!
I will begin gathering data with my new and improved rig as soon as the psu shows up.
Muhahahahah, though Philly_boy, if I seen black smoke to the north/northwest I will know what the source is :-P
Sooooo, how close are you to completing this review Philly_Boy?
The review is basically done...just waiting for the front page server to come back online.Quote:

did you lap the C2D this time?
Also why not just remove the IHS... maybe MCW60 will crush the core?
P.S. Subscribed.... if you would be kind enough to explain how you got the 226w peltiers mounted w/ neoprene etc + G80 adapter kit onto the 8800gtx I would really appreciate it. Im sitting here fiddling my thumbs debating whether to get the MCW60T at a cool sale price of $99.99 or to build my own MCW60 + Peltier like how you are doing.... I think the MCW60T comes with a 188watt peltier which is no good for overclocking a 8800gtx if I am correct, or at least not good for heavy overclocking the card... but still that would bring someone to question how you can stick a 226watt peltier under the MCW60 if swiftech themsleves made the TEC version of the MCW60 with only a 188watt Peltier... I think its because they made it before the time of the 8800gtx...
MCW60 crushing the core on a C2D? Or do you mean on the 8800... And even then wouldn't it be more likely to be crushed if the IHS is removed?
:confused: :confused: :confused:
err yes I meant the cpu block will crush the core.... not the MCW60Quote:

Yes, I lapped my darling E6300. Sorry, but I don't do naked CPU's....I'm not into cpu pr0n! :DQuote:

The 226 watt pelt has it's own set of pro's and cons...but I digress.
updates
Like someone already said "Holy moly thread revival batman!" I really doubt there will be any updates to this m8.
lol
