Phase chang cooling

[zabomb4163]

why the heck do people spend so much money on phase change cooling?????

the cooler cost them more than 400$ well over the price diff between the chip they buy and the top of the line. in my mind its a huge waste

 

[funnyperson1]

its the challenge of the top level oc that attracts these people....not the economics of it....think of ocing more as a hobby than a rebate

yeah but some people act like they are getting a good deal overclocking. overclocking 1.7 to 2.2 economical

spending 140$ on a 1.8 and spending 600$ on a phase change to reach speed of 2.8 when 2.8 cost 550

You are partially correct, but most of those peeps with those coolers don't look @ 400mhz OC .. I'm for example, used to have my vapochill, got my 2.26 @ 3.2 .. and posted @ 3.3 .. now you tell me if this worth it or not hehehe .. it's an expensive SPORT!!!

Some like to go fast & some like to go faster. What is so difficult about understanding that?

 

[zabomb4163]

yeah i guess its cheaper than car fanatics. they spend 80,000 on a sports car.

compared to a few thousand on a computer.

Just take a look at my sig. My system is mediocre.

Most extreme OCers have some scsi 15000 RPM stuff going on, latest vid card (oced to ragged edge of stability), near 4 ghz CPU, fastest of the fast and burning cash like it was growin in the backyard.

With the Prometeia I gained the folowing:

P4 1,6GHz with air 2.820MHz(max Windows) , 2,7GHz working........On Prometia 3056MHz(couldn't Ram go higher than 254MHz(508MHz DDR) AT 3:4 and working at 3024MHz

P4 2,26GHz with air 3164MHz(max Windows) , 3060GHz working........On Prometia 3400MHz(Ram at 1:1) and working at 3230MHz(Ram 3:4)

P4 2,66GHz ES with air 3384MHz(max Windows) , 3150GHz working........On Prometia 3629MHz(Ram at 3:4) and working at 3571MHz(Ram 3:4 and 250MHz(500MHz DDR)

The 2,8GHz I got now I haven't test it on air yet......

Buying a phase change cooling system is EXTREME and..............I finally suggest WATER COOLING......
