Charlie, you are one crazy geek - and thanks for that :toast:

Hope you have better luck (and more patience :D) next time my friend :devil:

I'm not gunna say, incase the rumor is wrong. I'll say this though, I don't think anyone would guess, that these certain people, are attempting the 4gigs:D

Shhhh.. your going to Make the Newbies Crazy..

Better Tell...... How to use the Ice Cooling before they think they can Break this 4ghz barrier..

thx, everybody :D

now just have to find something to clean oil off of parts

I simply closed the top of the plastic tub/ case thing, saving the oil.... can just open it up and use it again, next time maybe with x850/nf4.... or with my new 6800U-SLI cards.

:D Here best will be do detonate an A-bomb - will clean up everything.........

It's an odd oil. You can clean it up with paper towels. It actually absorbs into the towel. Like water. Will be tough to clean out of the Silencer4, though! I would suggest this stuff for some kind of a chiller/liquid cooling setup. I'm sure it's pump-able....

How viscous is it? What would you compare it to? Thicker than 100% anti-freeze or closer to alcohol/water?

OMG :slobber: that sure was an Extreme project :banana:

Too bad not everything went exactly as planned :( I'm sure you would have set a nice new WR)

Questions about the fluid:

What are the properties of needed for such a fluid. Can't find very much information on the internet on OPTI-COOL, but I can imagine any fluid with a very low freezingpoint and water resistant properties could be used. Am I right on this one?
I've heard of people before who were using a kind of olive oil where they submerged their systems in and got decent temps (but not subzero). Is there a list of possible fluids like anti freeze for cars (but then those that don't intermix with H20) somebody can think off?

- How's the mem holding out on those temps. It's the first time I've seen someone cooling their mem as much as you did. Since the mem is very close to the socket I can image it also get's very cold :D

Hope you have better luck next time :)

their "Alpha2" fluid may be even BETTER suited...

This is a breath of fresh air for xs. It's been a while since I've read something so interesting on here(no offence) it's just that I love this kind of experimental stuff. Very creative! If it wsan't for the neo2 you would've made it to 3.8.
02-02-2005, 07:44 AM

LOL..... maybe I should RMA the Neo2 (tongue in cheek)
Can you imagine some refurb Tech opening it up on a bench, especially CLEAN looking board.... with OIL oozing out of the LAN and USB ports, lmao.....

Truly one of the best overclocking endeavors I've read about in a long time. It was really an exciting read...too bad about the losses though. Personally though I'd still consider it a success as getting a screenshot at 3.7Ghz on an FX55 is HUGE! :) I can't wait till you hit 3.8/3.9...I know you will. Best of like Charlie.

and what do they plan on using as cooling?

if the japanese emperor, memesama, cant get "even" 3.9ghz with LN2, then i dont see how anyone outside of AMD's labs can even dream of getting 4ghz...

maybe nasa has found out that putting the mobo in space with no heatsink works wonders. :D

(lets not get into the obvious technicalities about that, i know...)

Unless maybe backed by some serious $$$ and connections within AMD themselves? Early fx-57 test samples.. 90nm SSDOI test samples? etc..? :slobber:

Sometimes I wanna be an engineer for those places :D

I am surprised you big boys don't eat through boards faster :) The amount of v-core you push through at that load alone probably will eat mobo randomly (and quite frequently). I myself killed few boards in record time just shoving 2.0v around 3.4ghz... I even saw a fire once :P) Maybe you should try to modify mobo ready to go on this venture next time so it can handle the amperage :) This was primiry reason I backed down from my Mach II and in water cooling... I will never get too venterous with water cooling to burn components left and right like I used to :)
