TBird 1Ghz watercooled and running at 1575MHz (150x10.5)

I was running my Dual PIII700 (cB0) setup with dual 80W pelts and water @ 155x7 (1085Mhz) until I added a new SCSI card. I get problems at anything over 150FSB with the SCSI card, so I am now running them aircooled at 150fsb.

watercooled 1.3 tbird on an Asus A7V133. I can't seem to get the multipliers working properly. it boots up at 10x133= 1496??? Sometimes it works right, other times it doesn't, and sometimes it won't even boot. So i guess i'm stuck at stock 1.3ghz :(

We got flooded the night the server went awol, does that count?

TB-C 1000Mhz @ 10 x 145 = 1450Mhz (der!). FOP38. (You said what?)

Just traded off my water cooling setup for a Belkin KVM switch. I needed a way to be able to control all of these comps that I have.:)

I've got a Belkin 4port KVM! Anybody want to trade for a Socket A water cooling rig :) Didn't think so :(

Say Rick... where'd you get that beast anyway? You're not REALLY willing to part with it... are you? :)

Sorry to get your hopes up... I lied. It's been a couple years since I used my KVM. The KVM I have is only a Cybex 2port Switchview. I use to run a Linux Server and Workstation together.

I don't know How I got so far off, must be staring at the KVM's at work all day (Or senility :) ).

Only when I take a shower, so perhaps ones every month :D

But my computer has a heatsink and Fan (delta) wich also doubles as a hairdryer :confused: :D :D

So if I put my computer in the bath tub to cool it off. Should I keep the water level below the power cord? Or is the power cord OK because it is coated with plastic?

You can completely cover the PC as long as you use Mr Matey bubble bath. If you fail to use the bubble bath, you will lose surface tension in the water.

Actually, clean the tub out really well, and use pure distilled water, and you can submerse just about everything. Fans don't run well in that viscosity though. Tend to overheat, believe it or not...

I'm cooling one of my Dual 1.13 boxes with distilled water/ethyl glycol 80/20 mix now, still at stock operating parameters, just to test. I'll bump it up in a while. It's also cooling the chipset, hard disks (two 10k RPM SCSI-160 Atlas drives - HOT running beasts) and GeForce3. The other is running (6) 90mm fans and two Orbs in a Lian Li case, otherwise identical. Comparing the results with MB Monitor. At the moment, the liquid cooled is at 37/39 deg C and the air cooled is at 51/42 deg C (must be a problem with the heatsink compound or something, need to shoot that) Ambiant temp is 62 deg F with 9000 BTU's of cooling into my home lab...

Distilled water! That was the missing piece.
