Well I'm not sure if adding an air conditioner right next to the setup really counts as "air" but still pretty interesting to see and test. I was kind of curious also if anybody had an experience using air conditioners on say a radiator(in a water loop) or also just like me right to the computer itself.
This chip will do 4.75 without the conditioner and i got to about 5.1 but i only have maybe 10 seconds to take a ss/validate... It's also perfectly stable at 4.5.
I know the voltage is way higher than is safe/smart but i need an excuse for a new system anyway. :)
Temps stop going down at 24/37C. :confused:

IMO this would count as phase change by proxy through air. But damn that's excessive.
 
nice overclock.. it aint [H] when you aint cheating to get an insane overclocks..
 
Also right about the time of the picture I realized those air conditioners dripped water :eek:
Couple towels later and we're ok. :cool:
 
That's why you tilt them to towards the back so that the water accumulates and drips from the back and not front ;)
 
Hey, I get my best OC's in Jan/Feb by opening the door and pulling in super dry 14F air into the front of the machine. I hit 4Ghz on a Q6600 about a year ago. Lost a HDD but it was worth it.

All the XS guys called us liars for almost two years while [H] owned the biggest P4 overclock in the world of +4GHZ. We used two phase change units, one of the CPU, one on the chipset. We left out the secret ingredient; Steve was doing all the work in his garage.....in Alaska.....in the middle of winter......it was -10F. LOL!

I got to tell Charles that to his face a few years ago in front of some industry folks. He got up and left the table.
 
Good job on air, but FFS, I hope you are separating your motherboard from that static-buildup prone plastic container lid with more than just air - a grounded conductive metal sheet, for example.
 
That is insane. And 4.5Ghz stable 24/7 frequency? Good job. I'm dreaming to get a future Core i7 proc to that "level". Maybe the 32nm shrink aka Westmere will make that possible! :drool:
 
I have built A LOT of high end systems and have read up on how to OC and have never had a decent OC.... I would love to just hit 4ghz without a problem... but 5?!!?!?!?!?!? waaaaaaaaaaaaaa????
 
Reminds me of the time I did a suicide run on my old AthlonXP 2100+. Got it up to 2.6GHz before it killed the chip. Nice job there.
 
Damn, 5ghz!. Nice job mate.

Hope i can get my wolfdale over 4ghz on air. I know lots of people have done it. Although my mobo won't let me do more than 3.3ghz for some reason :(
