Cliffs:

Spent 4 weeks just convincing them I have a real problem
They sent me a new chill control, took 1.5 weeks to get it
Spent more time talking
They say they'll send me a second new chill control

That's where it now stands

Why do you need to post on anandtech?

wtf? I'm simply asking you why you need such a cooling system?

Oh, I thought you were phase-change bashing. Anyway, because I want one. When it works, (rarely), it allows my FX-55 to go to 3.3 ghz. That's still 500 mhz better than a FX-57, and I have a clawhammer core.

What do you do with your computer that you need, and will notice, the power increase?

Again, I don't NEED the increase, but even in day to day use, I can feel the extra responsiveness. Mostly of my hi-power usage is in gameing.

Awesome, isn't it? You'll eventually realize all the trouble of hardcore o/cing isn't worth it, unless you're a competitive bencher. For 24/7 use, it simply isn't worth overclocking significantly. Stability problems and sh!t breaking (whether it's your PC hardware or your cooling) really gets old after a while. It's taken me 4 years to realize this. Good luck :p

I'm hoping to buy an A64X2 and clock it to 2.5ghz, silently air cooled. Fast enough to last a couple years I hope :)
