edlib Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 If your gonna overclock it that much, then liquid cooling is the way to go. Of course, then you end up with a chassis with more cooling pipes running through it than the engine compartment of my first car had,.. but it's a small price to pay to be the neighborhood mack-daddy uber-geek. I picked up a copy of a magazine called "MaximumPC" one day while waiting for my car to be serviced that's devoted to super overclocking mods like liquid cooling the MOBO and GPU. It's like 'Hot-Rod' magazine for the silicon set. I've never seen people showing off the innards of thier monster-machines like that, except at car shows. Kinda scary...
Nute Gunray Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 liquid eh? I've always wanted to have to talk about "cryo tubes" and stuff. Like the space shuttle! I can say "no i can't check my mail, I BURST AN O-RING"
edlib Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 Don't the Cray super-computers have something like that already? Liquid nitrogen or some such 'wow-factor' stuff? It's only a matter of time before somebody does it on a desktop machine. All for the sake of a few more FPS. It'll cost a fortune,.. but 'Serious Sam' will run sooo smoooooth.
Nute Gunray Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 maybe i'll get framerates higher than 57 in FS2002. that's the highest anyone has gotten so far. i get 16
Zargon Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 Originally posted by GUNNER I bet that baby's great huh? it's beautiful, its an older one, not the new super flat's, but big enough to make up for the slightly noticeable curve, very slight, esp for one this big. The big kicker being shes a freebie loner from my work cuz we had extra and I have super senior employee status since I am finishing up my 2nd year there right now.
Zargon Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 Oh yeah, its an 'industrail class' monitor, so it has the regualr hookups, then it has the 3 componet video hookups cuz you can use that, or run it out to a projector
Zoom Rabbit Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 All I know is that my computer (circa 1995) sounds like a model airplane trying to take off. My roomie's computer (new) sounds like a very small refrigerator--say, maybe Barbie-sized.
