i'm just quitting cold turkey...i know how i am...if i have them i will smoke them, so i need to just quit completely or its gonna be an excercise in futility.

Dude, stop refering to the fact you are gay. You obviously only posted in this thread because of the phallic nature of cigars, that you could then use that to insinuate that you are gay.
We get it already.

yay for quitting smoking...so far by tweaking this water system i've gotten my load temps down from 52C to 46C...and i havent even lapped the water block yet...hopefully, that'll drop me another couple degrees...i dont have the sandpaper i need, though getting that tomorrow
i'm pretty surprised how tightly you have to clamp this block on the cpu...i was afraid i was going to crush my poor athlon's core, lol
when i was on air with this setup at this voltage and speed i was running upwards of 55C under load...yikes!

55C under load? That's nothing. :Q

jesus christ man!
i'm afraid to let my cpu get above 55C...much less above 75!
what cpu is that exactly?
and what were you "cooling" it with? an iron?
was it actually stable at that temp?

Heh...it was sort of stable, I guess you could say. Nothing crashed, in any case.
What happened was I was cooking dinner and I came back to the computer for a bit (while I let some water boil) - and I was greeted with that ambulance siren sound that my motherboard makes when the CPU gets over a certain temperature. What had happened was that the overlay for my HDTV tuner card was sucking up 100% of the CPU. So I killed it and the temperature slowly drifted down, with the siren shutting off below 70C. It came to rest only at 62C, I'm pretty sure because I'd moved my computer around a lot that week (Spring Break, a few LAN parties), and the heatsink probably shifted so that it wasn't quite making a good contact. It's happened before.
Now, a few days later, it seems to have settled back in and I have my normal temps, which are ~53C idle and a bit over 60C at load (this is what they've been for like two years...and I've had no problems.
CPU is an Athlon XP 1700+ running at 2400MHz, and it's cooled P) by an SK7 with Tt Smart Case Fan II at 4800RPM constant.

Edit: WTF? :Q I just opened my temperature monitor program and apparently the CPU is at 47C right now. It's never that low unless I underclock. And the air conditioning isn't set to a lower temperature or anything either. In ~1.5 years of running this CPU 24/7, I have never seen the temperature that low at full speed unless I have the A/C in "deep freeze" mode (which I never do). I guess strange things happen when you bump and jolt a computer with a >1lb. CPU heatsink...

mine shuts down at 60C...its never done it though...highest its gotten to under prime load is 57C...and that was when i left and left the heater blasting...it was like 85F ambient when i got back...and the cpu was at 57C..of course i freaked and shut it down, lol
i was cooling this with a slk700 with a 60mm friggin jet engine...it was ok up to about 1.75v...then after that it got too hot too quick...1.8v would shoot me past 60C...i've actually pushed 2.1v throught this chip to get it to 2.6ghz...but that was with a custom ac chillbox i made...ambient temp in the box was -11C cpu temp was in the 20's i believe...i have some screenies on bbzzdd i think...one sec and i'll see if i can find them

-11C? I don't think I'd get temps that low (even ambient) if I put my computer in the freezer, lol. Damn Texas weather, always making life hard for overclockers! *shakes fist in the general direction of the sky*

i'm in oklahoma...it was actually winter when i was doing this...since i didnt need my ac...i built a box out of perma-r and blew the ac directly into it...the ac recirculated itself and just got colder and colder and colder
eventually the evaporator would freeze over and i would hafta shut down...but i could get a few hours of super overclocking and benchin before i would start heating up too much...this cpu has actually seen sub-zero temps while in operation kinda cool...to me anyway

lol....Die in a fire (Yes, I'm jealous of those temperatures)
My CPU is actually quite cool at stock...I've seen it down near 30C, I think. (OK....so at least I think it's cool ). Of course, I would never want to slow down my CPU by 933MHz to run it at stock.
I told my friends that we should have had a LAN party outside during winter (such as it is here) so we could do mad overclocking. They thought I was crazy. :roll:

Now that I think about it, I think I've seen idle temps of ~38C at full 2400MHz on my CPU once, and only once. I had just moved into my dorm and was testing out how powerful the A/C was. Needless to say it was very much so.
I also had pretty nice CPU temps last semester when the A/C (thermostat actually) was broken such that we got a full blast of cold air constantly. I think they said the air coming out was like 50°F, lol... (Too bad I can't do that all the time ) And given that it's about 70F in here right now, it would have to be about 20F colder for a 10C drop in CPU temperatures...lol

heh...winter lan i'd be down...i dont have those temps anymore...the chill box i built is sitting on my front porch now...i needed the room...plus i wasnt using it much anymore...since it wasnt a 24X7 solution it got old having to shut down and let the evap in the ac thaw for a couple hours before being able to use my comp again...so i just ran at about 2.2 or so...it was a fun project though...it alll started because my gf was cranking upthe heater and i could only run my cpu at 2.0 stably cause it was so damn hot in the house, lol

i was at 2.2ghz before i built that box...i got up to 2.6...about a 23% increase in overclock...

True....but then I hear rumors of the next A64 revision chips being able to do possibly 3GHz on air :Q, and I question the value of further speed over that. I guess I'll wait for everything to come out and people to test the limits before I jump into anything....

Hope you find another job soon as well... :beer:
