Re: [LUG] Oil Immersion Cooling (OIC)

[Max Siegieda <maxsiegieda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The system is on a Nvidia 680i LT SLI mobo, gives decent overclocking capabilities, intel E2180 CPU, stock speed 2.0GHz, current speed 3.33GHz (should be able to take it to the 3.6-7GHz maximum of the chip in oil), Nvidia 8800GT with a decent heatsink, gpu stock speed 600MHz, current speed 700MHz. 

Basically i'm worried about the CPU, at 85% TDP it is putting out 147W of heat, calculated by a PSU calculator, my heatsink is an AC7 which will in air deal with up to 160W of heat. I could buy a bigger heatsink, but I would need to keep buying big heatsinks over the years as sockets change, I would have the same problem with water so the logical conclusion is to replace the air.

What is the spec of the system and what sort of overclocks are you
expecting?

When I had my Phenom I went down the route of a massive Zalman cooler
although sods law it was one of the early Phenoms with the TLB bug and
it wouldn't overclock, it was however silent (or at least I couldn't
hear it).

Not sure why too, whenever I try and overclock a CPU and run Ubuntu on
it the CPU goes back to the default speed whereas on Windows it accepts
the overclock.  Not that it matters so much now as I'm running on a
notebook and I dare say overclocking it would cook the CPU.
