Anyone here over clock a Pentium D? I have one, 3.0ghz. Well anyways I have a fun project coming up. I am going to take one of my custom blocks and hook it directly to a water line, and then to the sink. No circulation thru the system just a constant flow of cold water. Then I am going to over clock my Pentium D until I can't go any further. I just want to see how far I can go. This is all for fun, on one of my custom blocks, or maybe a couple of them if the first one over clock's well. I will have some pics for this thread soon. screen shots etc.
 
no pentium D, but i did just recently find a old dell computer that had a Pentium 4 520 2.8GHz in it and a nice blower that i would guess is pushing 150 cfm.

i've only been able to get it up to 4.2GHz @ 1.67v. at 4ghz 1.6v it was at about 38C load (p95 small fft)


i have tried using that tap water cooling once for my q6600, was able to get to 4.2GHz.

i have lots of time off, maybe i will try this p4 under tap water :)
 
I have read some reviews from several forums stating that they have reached 4.2 ghz on there pentium D so I would thought this would be a good one to play with. I am hoping to have a good OC, this should be fun. I will crank this thing.
 
I have a p4 that is around 3.9ghz stock... I always wanted to try this and bring it up to like 4.5 but it generates insane heat more then some higher end cpus.
 
Why don't you just run a normal loop and then stick the radiator in ice water, or use a bucket of ice water to pump through the system? Won't waste any water and would be as cold as you like. Possibly easier too.

what could be easier then a hose in and a hose out, don't even need to hook up a pump for this. plus this is winter time in michigan, the water coming into my house right now is like ice water. LOL
 
I have run a pentium D stock before and they do generate a ton of heat, I hope that my block can keep up. On the flip side of this, good test to see just how well it really works.
 
don't think I will hit 9 ghz. I am hoping for 4.0 to 4.3 ghz, but wouldn't 9 be nice, I would have a hose hooked to all my computers. LOL

came across this at work. It is a coil made from 1/2" coppper tubing, roughly 12" diameter and about 18" tall. Now my first idea was for this project here. I was going to run the hose into this coil before the CPU. The coil would be in a 5 Gallon bucket of ice. :clap::D
 
I'd still vote for the ice water feed idea... but I guess if you don't want to use a pump then your idea is the only way lol. A non tap water setup would be: easier, probably less corrosive, possibly colder. Go for it though... pics too! :)
 
place the coil in a sump with overflow then stick a hose from the tap into the sump... dont forget to run to drain :D

then you can give it some.

(conclusion I came to with the run to waste tap plan a year back)
 
Project could be alittle on the messy side without the drain, LOL. But then again, it still might be.
 
I suspect messyer if you plumb directly to the tap, sure the pressure varies... I once came back to a place I lived and my fish ro-unit had sprung a leak and filled the whole house up by about half an inch #Laughs#

wicked stuff water mains pressure, soon fills your housr up :)

Edit: that was crazy fringe science, beware the crazy scientist in you :D
 
I already thought of that. I am conducting this one in my basement where there is a 4" floor drain, LOL. can't wait. Just deciding now on what block I should use to do this. I have like 3 laying around.
 
Don't have a meter. Just a straight rate for the year. Makes it nice in the summer too when I have to water my lawn. LOL.
