My new prototype copper G80 waterblock!!! SLI could be a bit of problem. Gonna be a tight fit.

Will have to work out the specs

LOL are ya now? heh

Okay....I found us a pump.

This baby is gasoline powered!!! Hooohaaaa!!

Just about ready to start the build.

nice block, how much are they?

That's about a 600lb block of copper if the scale isn't lying.

At 4$ a pound... 2400$

 

[Stabbin]

Lol!

Edit: If that's really a solid block of copper, I'm not sure I would trust those saw horses. Damn.

How many pennies did you murder to get that block of copper?

Pennies are 95% nickel. Which sucks and is misleading.



FUN FACT: If you get a penny hot enough (over 300c) and poke a hole through the top of it with a needle, all the nickel comes out and you get a shell of copper!

DISCLAIMER: Don't melt said pennies in someone's metal dish. The nickel has a tendency to form an alloy with whatever it's touching, perminantly ruining said dish. Makes for an awesome story though, "I don't know how metal got melted in your dish!!"

you think i can use that in my computer? Im trying to overclock my processor

Yes, but the raw material in a penny is still more valuable than the penny itself. Melting down pennies is actually a big problem with the recent rise in the cost of raw materials.

Do you guys think that 4.0ghz on a conroe is possible on that setup .

 

[friedchicken]

that setup is gonna need a sizable resevoir...

is there going to be an actual G80 block?

 

[Arcygenical]

is there going to be an actual G80 block?

Or about 5000 of them with that hugeass block of copper.

 

[AuroraProject]

I made an R600 version:

 

[n00btard]

what's with the Pong screen at the end

 

[AuroraProject]

It showcases the amazing power of the R600 system.

 

[autobot]

Heh, I always knew it would come down to the point where you would have to mount the component to be cooled TO the waterblock instead of visa-versa. I think the 8800 series of card might need a few PCIe risers.

 

[HomerRulez]

i could have that installed in my computer with a similar size cooling fan and somehow my temps will still find a way to go up.

 

[Igg]

that's the super GPU intensive game he's playing that the R600 is going to be used for
