    My direct-die cooling system

    While waterblocks become less effective with die size decreasing, it is too a much lesser extent than direct die cooling. The limiting factors for water blocks are surface area to weight, surface area to cost, and surface area to pressure drop ratios. Ideally, you want as large as surface area...

    My direct-die cooling system

    Not to be too argumentative, but I wouldn't use an almost 5 year old article as a source anymore for comparing water-blocks to direct-die, things can change a lot in 5 years. Using the C/W values direct from that site, and comparing for example to the published Swiftech Storm values shows...

    My direct-die cooling system

    Um, this is not at all how cooling works. Basically, the basic equation for a heat exchanger is that Q (Heat Removed) = U (overall heat transfer coefficient) * A(Contact Surface Area) * Delta T (Temperature difference). This why almost all heat exchangers have fins and such to increase the...

    G[H]etto Cooling + Opteron 146 = FUN!

    Hey first of all, nice job, always great to see fun, cheap alternatives to the more extreme measures that some people take, but going to back to the salt water talk, if you actually wanted to do it, you would have to make your own ice, adding salt to the water wouldnt actually do anything for...

    Aquasuite: The coolest water toy in the world

    I wouldn't say that its that complicated. I don't think it would be that difficult to make one using a spare power line from your PSU. Pretty much you wrap a wire around the tubing, hook the coil up to a small circuit powered by your power supply with either a automatic switching element or...

    Aquasuite: The coolest water toy in the world

    I believe Billa is refering to a true magnetic flowmeter which works by applying a magnetic field to a section of non-conducting piping that contains a conductive fluid and measuring the resulting EMF(voltage) that results, the EMF is proportional to the fluid velocity. Both of flowmeters you...

    Hiper Modular Type-R 580W Power Supply

    I've beeen looking at the Hiper too, and in the THG review, its not the +12V line that fails, its the -12V, which isn't used anymore except for legacy devices. I am not sure how they are even stressing the -12V line, since pretty much any modern computer couldnt do it, which would explain the...
