My Athlon overclock

[Quinton McLeod]

Oh yea I don't wan't to spend $200-400USD when I'm in Canada on cooling. For that price I'll just buy a new freaking CPU. lol

Trust me... This is what you want:

I wasn't debating the waterblocks. I know Swiftech makes awesome waterblocks. However 3/8 tubing is tiny tiny. 1/2 inch tubing means that more water is hitting the surface of the waterblock. That allows for the heat to move away from the processor more quickly through the water than with 3/8 tubing. Haven't you ever heard of the saying (as far as liquid cooling is concerned), "The more water on the surface, the better?"

It's a little higher than a 1*C difference between the sizes. 1/2 inch keeps the processor much cooler by perhaps 5C.

hahaha, 3/8 is tiny?? Do you know your fractions? Im sick and tired of people posting wrong info on the forum. 3/8 is 1/8" away from 1/2" okay. 1/8" is tiny. And it is proven on OCforum (a forum that actually has over 100 people watercooling) that 3/8" makes very very little difference compared to 1/2".

That actually wouldn't make much of a difference, it's only 1/8th!

I know good and well how thick 3/8ths of an Inch is....

I'll make it simple...

Take 1 inch... Split it into 8 parts... Now color in (with a crayon) 3 of those parts...

TADA!! 3/8ths of an inch!

Believe it or not, but 3/8th is 10 percent smaller than 1/2 of an each.
10 percent ontop of a circular mound is quite a bit if you look at it.

Wow!

Good luck with that. Hopefully your ram isn't too close to your processor, otherwise installing ram would be a pain!

 

[reggie_da_man]

I don't think I'll have too too much of a problem with the ram.

First, are you talking about 3/8" ID or OD? 1/2" ID or OD?

 

[reggie_da_man]

What's ID and OD?

 

[alvino]

ID = Inner Diameter
OD = Outer Diameter
