When water is just too good

[[XC] Luckygriff]

Looked at temps a few nights ago and got this so lesson to anyone putting two tipple rads in a window dont let it get to cool. Condensation was forming on water block.

- "Why do you crunch?"
- "To keep condensation from killing my rig"

That is a perfect secondary answer to that question for a lot of people here. aside from the good of mankind thing

Nice

[Gamekiller]

Very nice temps you have there!

Condensation is evil though. >='[]

[cre8chaos]

But what was it when you loaded it back up to 4x100% for a while?

Yeah, I'd like to know also.

clock & crunch MOAR! am I right? do I get a cookie?

i wish it was that cool here, got home and looked that the thermostat ion the house, 71 Ferhenight, and then i walked into my room with 4 computers crunching, , my shirt was off in a matter of seconds =)

why not clock the cpu higher if you're having condensation issues? I'm sure a q6600 can easily put out more than enough heat once you push it to 3.6ghz+, and 4ghz should be no problem with subambient cooling

Never thought of having to overclock more to combat condensation.

We are here to help!!!


with the added cooling power you have now get that quad higher asap !!!!!

Rurouni Kenshin is AWESOME!

Anyways--that's pretty cool--what was outside temperature though? I'd be a bit afraid to run a radiator in the window... for fear of extra dust & all!

This is my air setup, great for benching at night Still right around 30f here about every night. 50's in the day. 2 120mm-110cfm fans draw air in the side of the case. There's a furnace type filter at each end.

See, a side benefit..

Walk her into the PC room..
BINGO! Your 1/2 way home!

Never a truer quote said

Good point there movie, a plus side is that my pc room is my bedroom, so its another step taken!!, even closer to the final destination.

On another note, to bad i don't have a gf =)

Yea this chip has a lot more head room in it but when I go higher on the 680i it will just randomly crash. Regardless of what volts to spp or other stuff. Getting a new board in it soon think maybe 4 ghz might be possible. How does the ds3 p965 do with quads I got one of those lying around. For load temps its very good to right now only 10 pm here around 1-2 its coldest but 24 c on hottest core well all know the load of course. For the dust the swifttech rad have a more spaced out fin design to them so that helps but can just take the vacuum to it every month or so. I think at a certain like around 3-6 triple rads you could do maybe 10 or more quads if you have a low air temp and do it silently.

I am afraid no good. My 965P DS3 wouldnt even do 350 FSB with a G0 Q6600.
