okay so I mostly finished my Frankenstein Project I hope you can
actually hear me over top of it but I've got two coolit borus Tech coolers here
so these are using pelier to chill the water and then I'm using some standard
water cooling stuff hooked up to it in order to actually get the most out of it
so I've got uh an MC res micro swifttech
mCP 350 I've got it connected via some
quick disconnects up to a a swifttech apple
okay so this is quite quite chilly to the touch I've got a fan blowing over
the CPU socket to make it so that uh I don't get any condensation problems and
water dripping on my motherboard here the way I've actually powered it is just
totally don't do this at home kids but I've actually taken um the two power
connectors and then I've used I'm just kind of jammed them in there this is an
8 pin connector these even actually get quite warm to the touch that's why I
have them positioned all around the f here every one of these the the the
borus themselves are actually pulling about 400 WS just for the pelas so I'm
using a 1200 W power supply to cool this whole thing anyway I've got it hooked up
uh via an 8 Pin power connector then I've uh soldered together and wrapped up
some wires and then Frankenstein that
together I've got this uh kolet control center hooked up just so that I can
monitor the coolant temps but I don't think they're right anyway um let me see
oh I can actually show you the you know what I'll run a quick Benchmark here so
I'm running the uh the Phenom 2 1090t and I don't actually have CPU Z
open at the moment but I'll just fire that right up here you can have a look
so I've only got it running at 4.2 GHz for the time being and I haven't had any
problems with prime 95 yet so I'm definitely going to try and push it
further but I think the most impressive part about this actually is here let's
stop torture test and open up core temp check this out the CPU Temps at
idle oh no that shouldn't be right yeah
it's going down I think it's actually going to take a while to go back down
after I start core temp but oh yeah you can see here the low temp so the lowest
it's been and yeah it's going to creep its way back down there now I think it
takes a while to update is 0 degrees so it actually idles at 0 de and then as
soon as I fire up the uh the torture test it jumps up to a
whopping o 15 degrees so that's at 4.2
GHz underload you can see the actual high once it's been running for a while
I've had it running is 22° so that's
running with the two bases on a uh a swifttech apple G block so that's an
ancient apple G this is actually my first water block ever it just has a new
uh mounting plate on it so it's been updated a little bit I also put a bow on
it as as well if you're into the Apple you'll know what a bow is anyway I guess
that that pretty much covers my little Frankenstein Project and I'm going to
give you some overclocking updates as soon as I have some I'm going to see how
high I can push this uh 10 uh 10 oh it's
calling it a 1095t that's interesting I wonder if
that's some kind of omen anyway it's a
1090t and let's see how high we can push it
