Overclock HBM on Fury X

[LTC8K6]

Are you talking abt clcs?
No I think they add something to the mix. There are some teardown vids of clcs & all of them has some greenish liquid.

I'm talking about the IR pic of a Fury X supposedly at 100C, which I said "shouldn't be water". (since it's an OEM setup)

Elfear asked me why, stating that plenty of people use straight distilled water.

So I replied "Do any OEMS use distilled water?".

AFAIK, OEMS use a coolant mix.

OEMs use coolant because they tend to use AL radiators with a copper block.

Right.

So, as I said, "It shouldn't be water." in the IR picture.

:biggrin:

Yup people act like it's weird too? I don't get I had thought it was assumed oems use a coolant, it's documented as such, yet enthusiasts just assume it's water?

Makes no sense.

Water cooling term is confusing people into thinking it's only water now lol.

That's why most companies list their coolers as liquid coolers and not water. Take corsair for example. On their site they refer to them as liquid coolers and only mention water when it is in reference to "traditional watercooling".

Well, it's not water. Or, it shouldn't be water.

The coolant in my car can be at 100C and still nowhere near boiling, for example.

Note that I don't think the 100C reading is accurate, or possibly it's not what it is claimed to be.

nowhere near? how?
