  1. 1. Which of these should have dedicated cooling solutions (water blocks/heatsinks) in a highly overclocked rig?

    • GPU
      37
    • Chipset
      20
    • RAM
      13
    • HDD
      3
    • Mosfet / Volt Reg
      18

Do it. Oh, and pics or it never happened :lol:

Oh by the way, I heard something about high voltages, a naked mosfet, and fire. Your name was somewhere in there too Waco :P

The fire part wasn't fun...but at least it was stable until it blew up. :lol:

 

As for refrigerator compressors - they aren't rated for 24/7 operation and would fail in pretty short order if you used one on a computer.

They make ones that are rated for 100% duty cycle. A compressor and an evaporator for a butchers refrigerated room. Though expensive it would be epic to see. And technically the phase change system would be operating as its disigned. Pull heat out and eventually once Delta is reached replace it with cold air.

going to do red and white for umbrella actually, only the green and blue res's

So red/white tubes? Even better in what is most expected to be a red/black mobo.

You should update your worklog some more :P I want to see that desk completely painted and clear coated.
