Thanks alot, most of the confusion was because people put out alot of information and didn't explain why it mattered. I heard the Q9550 is a difficult chip to overclock... Hope I learn a ton!

Ok so the 1:1 ratio is ideal for better performance.. So leme get this straight... When I have a FSB of 400, and the ram is DDR2 800MHz.. That is 1:1. When I overclock to an FSB of 450 for example.. and the ram is now 901MHz. The ratio is still 1 to 1.... So when does this become a...

Ok so I've been reading alot of overclocking guides on the web and I keep hearing this 1:1 ram cpu ratio thing come up.. Here is the computer I'm learning overclocking on: Intel C2Q Q9550 2.8ghz. Corsair DDR2 800ghz Ram other stuff Now what confuses me is the ram frequency and FSB frequency...

Yeah I found a dew point calculator on the web, very very useful. I'm trying to see if there are other ways to combat water condensation. This is surely a challenge. :D

Thank you for a good post. Very interesting what you did here. How did you not get condensation though?

Disappointing video.

That thing looks like a piece of crap lol

It isn't really reasonable to use AC and refrigerators as examples. An AC has to cool an entire house or room, and a fridge/freezer same thing. All we are trying to do is cool a little bit of water.

Shouldn't be too much I think...

Gee, I don't know what that would possibly accomplish.

It is just for fun. The fact that it just works is more impressive than its performance.

Doesn't have to be a fridge, just anything that can cool water. TBH the idea of what cools the water is not important.

Compared to normal water cooling. How much will having cold water help?

I'm not really trying to do anything, atleast not now. I'm just interested in ideas and having a discussion.

Lower temps?

How good would cold water coming out of my fridge and going into my loop be? Would you describe the improvement to be minimal, worth doing, or great? Also I know water condensation will be a problem... Does anybody have any ideas besides insulating the motherboard?

Nice setup, looks professional.

Pretty cool idea, but I would also never do it. And old news hehe.

I thought ASUS mobos were suppose to be good? Non-existant warrenty? What would you suggest then?

Moving doesn't sound cheap. Nothing wrong with it, just intrested to learn more.

Yeah, but the main problems with that is cost, difficulty, and power use.

Basically the title ^. Is there a style of cooling that cools better than water cooling yet is practical? Even experimental ideas? ps: not phase change...

I don't know what he is trying to say, but I will say that PC needs more exclusives and less shitty console ports.

Everything is fixed, thanks alot guys.

Good advice. I also told them to make sure the laptop isn't filled with dust and they update the drivers before they run it. I just got a typical "Sir we already check the computers 100% once we get them.." I didn't buy it either...

I've also sent a letter to the editors of http://consumerist.com/ I'll update on the situation as it develops.. Thanks alot for the information guys, I just knew there was something fishy going on when I read that E-Mail.

OP updated.

No no no.... Don't give them any credit they don't deserve. I paid 40 bucks out of my own pocket to send the laptop to them. I even bought the fedex "laptop" box to make sure it got there safely.

Its an alienware M15x. (Not mine).

I'm going to see if I can find some Legal forums or something online... Somebody suggested that they are running a "bait and switch" scam.

@mi7chy Shit, That makes me wish I did. I honestly didn't think they would try to bone me like this >.< .

btw this is their website: http://service.ztronics.com/sell-your-laptop.html

@metril They did say that I would have to cover return shipping. Do you guys think the lack of a battery could be the culprit? Should I request their benchmarks? Should I suggest they update the drivers? I would really like to get the laptop sold for the price they agreed on because it is...

Hey guys, I wanted to run this by you and see if this company is trying to bone me or not. So the story is: I sent a laptop in to this company called Ztronics, the online quote said they would give me 400 bucks for it. With a broken battery they said they would give me 365. I accepted and then...

Microsoft bought them.. LOL.

Try a PSU calculator.

You can always use the corsair PSU calculator.

64gigs of ram? That is intense.

Water cooled?
