Very nice, but do you have any measures against condensation?

good old freezer ice. No condensation. the effect doesn't last but 15mins tops. I do it when I want to try for 4.0ghz.

I hope an increase in size of your e-penis is worth the threat of ruining your computer via condensation and possible damage to your WC components from unpurified/undistilled water.

That wasn't a flame IMHO, and I've seen plenty of those kinds of remarks at the OCForums.
Just the same thing you said in a more holier-than-thou tone IMO.

Why dont you let me worry about my computer, and you can take your "e-penis" and get bent.
I'm using filtered water so minerals shouldn't be a problem. My loop is getting drained as soon as my new res is finished being built. I was just adding the ice for curiousity. Not a long term thing. I think ill be buying a pormetria mach II off a friend of mine soon so i might get out of water cooling all together.

I think that is tight. Why would you bash him for trying out something, its his computer, let him do what he wants; I am sure he knows the risks.
I showed this too my friend and now he wont stop telling me I HAVE to do this. lol

My friend also had the idea to get canned air, turn it upside down, and spray it on the CPU.

Not a chance. Doesn't do what the movies make it do. It will shrink metal fairly well though, which is what we use it for.

I'm not bashing him or flaming him. You guys are freaking touchy sometimes. Maybe I should have said lawlz o m g u r gonna get da condesning on ur pc lolol!! I'm suggesting he take the extra precautions and safeguard his computer against condensation with some foam and grease. Not only that, but having a huge tub filled with icewater sitting on top of your computer isn't the best setup either. Water can condense on that too and trickle down. With the way he has it haphazardly setup, if his computer gets ruined, I'm sure he'd ask himself if it was worth it afterall just to get a higher # on a readout for a few minutes. Just a thought to ponder.

Thanks. I'll keep that suggestion under consideration. You have firmly established dominance over me.
