Extreme Cooling Technologies

well, that's a good thing to know if I ever decide to go to one of those coolers.......good tech support is essential with a product like that, and even for WC systems as well. Of course, we know that ECT's offerings can be pricey, thus I'm inclined to hold off on that offering and go with a lower-end Phase-Change unit, eventually.

Well, OCZ is releasing their Cryo-Z here pretty shortly..... and if it performs as well as they say, for $300-400, it isn't a bad deal at all

[killswitch83]

indeed, and considering the X2 3800+ has dropped below 300, yeah this would be a good combo for sure......you think that Ultra Infinity board could withstand the temps from bumping the voltage like that, given I have high-end air cooling for the NB, RAM, and video card? Don't want to fry the mobo's power regulators or anything else, that's for sure.

DFI board are definitely made for stuff like that. I'd really like to see an "Expert Edition" with a phase change cooler and a Opty 165......mmmmm, maybe we WILL see something like that pretty soon

[killswitch83]

forshadowing perhaps??

I'd like to see this myself.......with such a powerful processor like that, coupled with the top of the line CPU cooling solution, shoot I can just imagine what you'd be capable of, not only in bragging rights with numbers but actual performance (btw, I really ONLY can imagine this, as broke college students don't have this stuff, lol :P )

mmmmmm.........silicone semiconductor......naahhahahaaaa (drool)

We'll be working on bringing you up to speed.....Getting you guys good stuff to work with is a priority.
I really like Maximum PC, and this month they did an overclocking article that I actually was extremely disappointed in. Their methodology was very poor.....their OCs were not stable, and they didn't explain anything very well.....or should I say not nearly well enough
On topic, they used phase change cooling, and posted some scores that flat out showed their OC to not be stable at all

[killswitch83]

why of course, and I know for a fact you'll deliver as you're able to.....in concerns with methodology of overclocking used by major pubs like that, some can be be biased and hedge the testing by cutting corners or pushing hardware far enough to get massive numbers but not be 24/7 stable. The way I consider it, if we stay on the track of getting very attainable numbers that are Prime and 24/7 stable, we would be doing enthusiasts and beginners alike a favor by being realistic. Not trying to bash MaximumPC, I'm just saying it's definitely a possibility. Rest assured you'll get nothing but realistic, stable numbers out of my reviews.....I plan on checking their site for the review you're talking about, and some of their other stuff as well, as it's been awhile since I've read their mag.

I worked with Chilly1 on the prototype for the cryoZ the unit isent "sealed" it can be moded and to be honest the only thing that unit need's to be a strong phase unit is a gas mod to r-507, the part's internal are of good quality and the evap is a verry special chilly1 evap, I cant wait for the cryoz to hit the shelf.

[Capper]

yeah, me neither. I think its going to prove extremely popular, especially at the price they are circulating

Capper i haver you a verry special present for your mach unit :)
