    AMD 8 Ghz overclock :D

    Thats only LN2, will be -177 C iirc. Our crystat used to run superfluid He3 as its primary coolant. That was -270 C. Then there was the powered super evaporator. That took things down to -273.1 C. Whole thing cost £12,000 a week to run. Not as exciting as it sounds unfortunately.

    Been along time away....spec help please.

    HDD is in hand, so no worries about that. Also I realised that I would also need to get a new PSU, and probably a new case. So, assuming its all the same as before, itll be ATX (or whatever the 'normal' form factor is now). It also occured to me that it would probably be best to get one...

    WC Spec Check

    Hey Al, sorry to hijack your thread but that looks pretty much like what I wana buy. Gunna start off with just the cpu first though. Will this setup take an Opty 148 and a 7800GT, both overclocked? Are the mounting holes for the rad tapped, i.e will I need bolts or screws to mount it with...

    Cooler for Leadtek 7800GT EE

    Oi oi, I bought this cad and am v impressed. Thing is the stock cooler sucks and every week or so decides to ignore the drivers controlling the fan speed and gets stuck on 100%. Also, any other nVidia drivers dont support the fan controller on the card, which again means stuck at 100%. As a...
