Seen that too; a while ago.

From what I recall, didn't the user's i7 stay at 32c at 4ghz or something with overvolting it?

EDIT: the best is teh part about the thread stickies! LOL

Wow. And he's actually directly cooling the core. I hope that resin keeps the IHS/block fixed. To me it doesn't seem like his DIY waterblock is very safe...I wouldn't trust the integrity of the block simply to resin.

I counted on you being the one on these forums that would try it. There's plenty of ways to get to the core you know. 😉

Another solution to running at 0C... saw a review a year or so ago where a guy from New Zeland that submerged his entire MoBo in a non conductive liquid. He then proceeded to over clock and chill until the cpu could go no more..... at 0C. Don't recall the liquid or the amount of overclocking he achieved but, the liquid was like $600/gal.

If I had the money, I'd give it a shot. I'd definitely practice on a dead CPU or two first though.

It's been done with mineral oil in a large number of cases. I've never done it myself because it is slightly expensive and I don't want to fix something that isn't broken...

The fluid was perfluorooctane. Also known as Fluorinert.

It's been done before, and it's not all that unsafe. So long as you keep water flowing over it, the chip will be cool.

Saw a 2500 Barton this had been done to, he had some really nice clocks at low temps with that, a pond pump, and a 77 Bonneville heater core.

Makes me wanna try it. I think I got something worth delidding around here somewhere...

Lol at the posts mentioning how there's a sticky titled "DO NOT REMOVE IHS!"

then a couple threads down is this thread, "How to remove i7 IHS."
