Not for me though, as I can relap the CPU and HSF when needed, and they won't be used for 24/7 anyway.

I think I will run some GPU testing aswell with my GeForce (OC'd of course.

). 3DMark06 run should take the GPU to the max.

ok buddy

So I guess that's why Watercooling sucks compared to Aircooling?

**Bigchrome** · 11-23-2007, 02:48 AM

Em... he's actually right! It's just better than air.

**oublie** · 11-23-2007, 02:55 AM

what about jelly? - the american kind that is not the wobbly british type.

the contents of a zit ?

ear wax?

**Calmatory** · 11-23-2007, 04:18 AM

Ok.

Here it goes. Palit GeForce 7300GT GDDR3 Sonic @ Stock (500/500).

Now I measured idle temps aswell! They are quite the same as they were with CPU, a bit variation though! So, let the picture tell the rest...

Sorry, no OC for GeForce.

I wanted to have as little variables around the tests as possible, so I did tests with full stock.

Oh, Palit has it's own HSF for the Sonic model, so it ain't NVIDIA's reference cooler there.

Water has great heat capacity. That means, that it takes alot of energy to heat up water. If you have 10 liters of +22C water, and 10 liters of +22C air, the air is ALOT easier to heat up than the water, due to the fact that water holds more thermal energy. Thats why watercooling works better (and for the fact, that single 120mm radiator has ALOT more surface area than any air cooler, the same water runs around the radiator multiple times).

Unbelievable

I have this discussion seen many times, but i never have seen someone really test it

, Good job guys.
I heard sperm works also well, but hey, i'm not going to test that theory

**Calmatory** · 11-23-2007, 05:00 AM

Added on the list...

I will be taking off the IHS later today, and do more tests with overclocked CPU. Some water, milk, shampoo and shower gel incoming.

Of course will include everyones favourite - ketchup aswell. \o/

**Mekoa** · 11-23-2007, 05:30 AM

This is one of the best test threads Ive ever read!

Great job

It's probably impossible to test, the chemical make-up varies!

Just curious what is "turnip rape oil"?

No clue. I know a Finnish word for turnip rape, which I jut put on translator and got the "turnip rape". Does "Oilseed rape" bring a bell?

Google image search might help a bit.

I think I meant this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canola

Vegetable oil, ok thanks!

**darkone414** · 11-23-2007, 08:59 AM

Man it's completely dead at work and this post just made my day hahaha. Personally I would love to see what some peanut butter would do.

EDIT : Oh and take some pictures man!! I would love to see you sitting there squirting ketchup on your rig haha.

**koc** · 11-23-2007, 09:27 AM

Ketchup seems to work well

how about some brown sauce, or you could try some yoghurt.

**victor89** · 11-23-2007, 10:42 AM

ketchup? so try to use tabasco

And honey

**ninogui** · 11-23-2007, 02:08 PM

sorry guys i couldnt resist...

ahahahahahaha lolololololol can´t believe what i´m reading on this thread lolololololol

maybe i´m drunk? ill read all from start again just to check lolol

ok.. checked... it´s true!

temporary signature:

nothing better to do with your cpu? mail it to me, i´ll be glad to test on sper.., female cu.., and both mixed together , i read somewhere its the best mix...

ok admin, you can wipe my post loloolol

greets

**Start** · 11-23-2007, 02:51 PM

Reading this thread just put a smile on my face

Yes send him a good cpu.

**_G_** · 11-24-2007, 05:38 AM

no peanut butter?

**Mads321** · 11-24-2007, 07:44 PM

I'd say a waterbased lube (like the stuff you get at the pharmacy, that is used when having sex), will proably do better than anything else.

**swolfe** · 11-25-2007, 09:28 AM

This proves my theory that AS5 is nothing more than ketchup with gray coloring.

Repackaging this:

Into this:

Probably translates into a lot of this:

was hilarious to read in title regardless!

great thread btw remember few years ago someone was testing toothpaste against other popular pastes at the time and found it help up pretty well initially but didnt stand the test of time. think it dried out quickly or broke down and got all runny cant recall atm though

**Soulburner** · 11-25-2007, 10:57 AM

I really recommend keeping this to CPUs only.

The GPU could fry itself without those throttling abilities.

**The0men** · 11-25-2007, 11:14 PM

Lets get some more "exotic" type things cracking. I think the sex wax would be hopeless, it would just melt, and make a mess. Although some of the other "compounds" sound rather messy lol

**ineedaname** · 11-25-2007, 11:42 PM

You can try some KY jelly non water based kind.

**Calmatory** · 11-26-2007, 01:23 AM

Well, I am building a small website where to put all this testing, and after I get it done I will post more results. Shampoo comning with some shower gel. Milk vs. yoghurt aswell. Might also consider cream and butter.

**dduckquack** · 11-26-2007, 05:31 AM

maybe you should use the ketchup while still inside the sachet so it wont dry up quickly
