Overclockers United is getting a little stale so lets just spice things up shall we? Lets just post pictures of our watercooling setup along with screenies!



I'll start with my setup, a 24/7 folding@home AMD system.

AMD AthlonXP 1800+ DLT3C NIUHB 0334WPMW @ 2.54GHz @ 1.85v
Kingston HyperX PC3200 @ 242FSB 1:1 Dual Channel 2-2-2-11-1T @ 3.25vdimm
DFI NFII Ultra Infinity w/ Oskar Wu's 04/1/21 bios, 1.8vdd
Antec TruePower 480W

DangerDen RBX Lucite Top, 1/2" Fittings
Double Heatercore, 1/2" Fittings
Evercool 120mm fans x 4, Push n' Pull Config.
Nirox P3800 Pump
bulkhy's Custom Made Cylindrical Acrylic Reservoir
aleck's "Super Oil Tubings"
Distilled water. No additional coolant, yet.

First off is the Heatercore,


and comes the reservoir,


along with pics of the crudely sealed Nirox pump,


and of course, a shot of the entire wc system. Pretty simple loop w/o the GPU block.


The acrylic reservoir's shining glow is an effect of a Sunbeam's UV LaserLED passing through them. Quite pretty, but the heatercore's still without any fan shrouds No pics of the RBX block as it's available all over the net.

Finally, here's a temperature screenie of the system running full-load folding@home (project 859) for >4 hours.


At an ambient temperature of 32cą, the watercooling setup records an average load of 44cą, an increase of 12cą above ambient, with a 80wą processor, comes an amazing 0.15c/wą efficiency. Pretty "cool" I'd say. But of course, they are nothing more than guesstimates as I do not know the actual cpu temperatures and the wattages produced on the waterblock itself. IIRC 2.2GHz @ default 1.5v does 35c idle and 37c/38cą full load. Will post up screenies of them later.

In the meantime, do post up pictures / screenshots / config of your own watercooling setup as well.

Edited : Changed the image storage provider. UploadIt.org expires
Again, please post your questions & thoughts about watercooling here. Thanks.

AMD 2400+ XP-Mobile Barton FQQ4C 0402 MPM (avg quality/stepping)

2400+ @ 2.588GHz (246 x 10.5) @ 2.0vcore (actual 1.95v)
Kingston HyperX PC3200 @ 246FSB 1:1 Dual Channel 2-2-2-11-1T @ 3.25vdimm
DFI NFII Ultra Infinity w/ Oskar Wu's 04/1/21 bios, 1.9vdd
Antec TruePower 480W

DangerDen RBX Lucite Top, 1/2" Fittings
Double Heatercore, 1/2" Fittings
Evercool 120mm fans x 4, Push n' Pull Config.
Nirox P3800 Pump
bulkhy's Custom Made Cylindrical Acrylic Reservoir
aleck's "Super Oil Tubings"
Distilled water. No additional coolant.

Repositioned the heatercore to a better spot, added a little extra cooling aiming at the casing/motherboard and PCI exhaust blower to combat the heat generated from my new 9800SE-256bit, and voila! Mobile/Barton DOES run cooler than a Throughbred

43c on load, 36c idle @ 32c ambient.
Sandra2004 reports 158W @ 2.0vcore.

Some preliminary shots of my new water system, screenshots and shot of complete loop to come later.
