http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclocking

Overclocking is the process of running a computer component at a higher clock rate (more clock cycles per second) than it was designed for or was specified by the manufacturer, usually practiced by personal computer enthusiasts seeking an increase in the performance of their computers. Some of them purchase low-end computer components which they then overclock to higher speeds, or overclock high-end components to attain levels of performance beyond the specified values. Others overclock outdated components to keep pace with new system requirements, rather than purchasing new hardware.

Users who overclock their components mainly focus their efforts on processors, video cards, motherboard chipsets, and Random Access Memory (RAM). It is done through manipulating the CPU multiplier and the motherboard's front side bus (FSB) speed until a maximum stable operating frequency is reached, although with the introduction of Intel's new X58 chipset and the Core i7 Processor, the Front Side Bus has been replaced with the QPI (Quick Path Interconnect); often this is called the Baseclock (BCLK). While the idea is simple, variation in the electrical and physical characteristics of computing systems complicates the process. CPU multipliers, bus dividers, voltages, thermal loads, cooling techniques and several other factors can affect it.

Right... thanks A|A

I don't have it.

But I think the pump isn't verry loud.
Much calmer then a fan.

What next, two stroke strimmer engines running computers? *Brum....Brummmmm...BRUUUUMMMM-Smelly classic two stroke smell and noise*

Nice idea, but as I said earlier, I think I prefer the idea of the fan, call me traditional

sounds like I shouldn't aim for a liquid cooled then? Probably best to look for a normal fan cooled then, well I won't buy a computer until SS10 reaches the Faroe Islands

All things considered, it's probably better to spend the extra money on a faster processor, more RAM or better video card etc. You'll get much more improvement for the money you spend.

If i want to cool my computer, e.g. when running Folding@Home on the two separate GPUs in my graphics card i just take off the side of the case and have a big fat fan blowing on it. Without the fan it gets to 105°C which is the limit but with case off and fan on it gets down to 80 maybe 90°C tops.
Liquid cooling is just for people who are hard core gamers or similer and need it for things already mentioned like overclocking

This looks nice..

mmmm......Don't tempt me

lol, where can you get that?

[saltydog]

I want one..saves a few trips to the kitchen..

[IRI5HJ4CK]

lol, where can you get that?

I was thinking the same thing.....

Is it actually real? as in, mass produced? or just a one off "laugh"?

Here's where I got the pic, don't think it's for real ..

But, if that was real, that would be awesome!
