Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Galvanic corrosion is no longer really considered a problem now that it's well understood. To listen to people freak out about it here is like a panic that chlamydia is going ruin sex for everybody on the planet. You can use whatever metals you want as long as you take care of things.

Nothing really beats water for thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity. LH2 is the only other thing I can think of that comes close but there may be a couple things out there. The only reason why you'd ever want to mess with water is for different freezing / boiling temps, kill...
Sounds rewarding and sounds like hard work. I might have been in the market for such a service had I seen something I really liked before I started my own work.
High end media center PCs might have a nice profit margin. I have often thought of marketing to suckers who will pay top dollar...
How:
a) You will need to get a measurement of the temperature of your processor and of your water.
subtract Temp_CPU - Temp_water : delta_T in [deg C]
b) You'll need to calculate the power output of your processor:
get CPU Power from Here and install
get stats for your processor...
Heres a practice that I plan to use to benchmark the effective performance of my waterblock and flow (pump and tubing). It cuts a lot of the environmental and system noise that can affect benchmarking with CPU temp alone and helps isolate some of the hot topics discussed on [H] forums. This...
Alphacool_Chris et all,
Would love an update on waterblock compatibility with 7900 series GPUs. There's a 7800 kit at Alphacool that looks like its wearing a GFX Alphacool NexXxoS GPX-NV40 6800. It looks like a lot of 7800 stuff works on 7900 and I'm hoping that block will do the trick...
I picked up 4 of the smaller ones... one for each side for 2 computers, new machines I'm building for my wife and I. I haven't run water through them yet but I can tell you what I see so far.
Pros:
The aluminum extrusions are flawless (function and form). They mount nicely and by my...
