Puting my Gorb to good use

[JaY_III]

Since i need to get myself a project....
I think i will drill a hole in a Gorb's base and turn it into a waterblock.
Yes i know it will not be as good as a real waterblock but still its better than a ORB......

So i will take a look at some pumps on my way to work tonight, get an idea of what to buy. And hopfully, get this thing going withen a week or so...

And yes i will get a real waterblock once i upgrade my current system

cBo Celeron 2 633 BX. I can run it stable at 105 FSb using 1.95V post at 117FSB so...

Even if i dont get anymore MHz i will have my watercolling unit working by the time the Athlon 4 (i hate that name) comes out

jay, have you been into AMK (http://www.amkcomputers.bc.ca/) lately....4631 East Hastings Street, Burnaby....was there last summer and not too terribly far from you....they seem to have decent stock for overclockers.

LOL.......just make sure no water gets out!

ok....
i have been to AMK, they dont sell Waterblocks or anything to do with watercollign at all... and they dont like artic silver... (as it can turn to a foil if it gets to hot)

And yes, sunny delight, i have read your work on that... i am just not to sure how long the seal will last...... but i did look at contanier at home... still may give it a try once i get the rest of the watercooling setup going

my CPU is in a slotket so i dont have much room to play with 5 cm and that is all so the Gorb is my BEST (sad isnt it) cooling option. I dont want to lose any of my DIMMS (as they are all full) and i like using the RAM i have spent... but 256 for $65 US, that about $100 Canadain.. so.....


And REVY (local hardware store) sucks ... what am i going to do with a 60GPR or 140 GPR pump... i want 200+ (as i can always scale it back....)

And i do see myself setting a tower up, was looking into a heat pipe a while back, but they dont give very good results as the fluid in the heat pipe has to boil befre it can cool anyything.... so even if i were to use achool it ould have to come to 80C (i think) before it would boil... and I am VERY VERY SURE i dont want anything that is 80C anyware near my CPU....

So i'll let you all know how it goes as i slowly put this together....

And if i fry anything along the way...
its backt o the P2 333, its unlocked, once of the first once that came out, down side to that is , only can hit 420 (4x105), no 500 form this chip

Oh and just to let your all know what i have
Celeron 2 633 cBO (SL3W9) Batch # Q040A07
Abit BF6 (i love this board long live the BX)
64 x 3 megs of RAM (192)
Abit GF MX
2 NIC's yeada yada yada, soundblaster 64 -dvd -sony 8x4x32-floppy
2x250 watt PSU's (one sits on top of my case)

well, if you want to live on the edge.........Sounds like a plan to see how it performs. Nice backup though if your pump fails for some weird reason.

for some reason, I kind of figured the sunny d would be mentioned :)

That's too bad the AMK doesn't carry watercooling stuff...they're a pretty decent store though, imo.
