As of now liquid cooling devices were sucessfully installed in my rig the Koolance waterblock which i bought from my taiwanese friend whos into overclocking too serves the most important role in my rig (ofcourse!). Although using a commercial waterblock is much more expensive than making a homemade one, yet I think its much more practical to use a commercial one because it guarantees zero leak unless defective.

Now my problem is were to buy a peltier module, maybe next week i'll be hunting for it on raon i hope i could find some thermoelectric products there. The peltier will not be mounted to my CPU because it produces more heat than cold. It will serve as my water cooler in my tank. The cool water travels through the aluminum tube radiating the cold from the pumped air of my twin fan blower. In this way i could reduce any possible condensation.

Stage 1 aftermath

I haven't encountered any problems on stage 1, just some nasty criticism hehehe some suggest that i should use liquid
nitro and overclock my processor more than 3ghz (no way kid!). Those people that are doing those hardcore overclocking
are nuts they are making a death defying stunts on thier system which i don't want to do, money isn't easy here in
Philippines. If theres an easy way to avoid the condensation by using liquid nitro, why not. but to overclock my
processor more than enough hehehe sorry i can't!

Here are some pointers to those kids that uses Liquid nitro and overclock thier processor to the extent of adding more vcore volts.

Damage cause by overclocking

Throw a tennis ball at a solid brick wall and the chances are that it will bounce back, however there is also the chance that the ball could go straight through the wall. Yeah right I hear you say, but that is what quantum tunnelling is all about In scientific terms an electron can escape from a infinitely deep energy well. What does this mean in your PC? A junction (transistor) is made up of positively and negatively doped silicon around un-doped silicon. Electrons are not meant to reach other transistors, however every now and again an electron could tunnel away from the conductive silicon. Usually it will wonder a couple of atoms out of the area and return. Other times it can travel into another transistor near it (which does not cause a problem because you need a lots of stray electrons at the same time to cause an error). The trouble starts when the electron attaches itself to one of the silicon atoms in the non conducting section of the silicon, or knocks another electron from the orbit of it's neighbours (silicon degradation). Over time (a number of years) there is a path formed by the damage done by these tunnelling electrons between two gates, and now electrons can flow across this junction causing it to malfunction. The more energy an electron has the more likely it is to tunnel, therefore when you turn up the voltage on your CPU, or your CPU is running hot, electrons can tunnel through the surrounding materials easier When the CPU was designed, quantum tunnelling was taken into account and the CPU was designed to handle the given voltage for X numbers of years, however with higher voltage you shorten its designed life span. Overly high voltages can completely destroy the structure of fine silicon so when you are increasing the voltage on your CPU increase it by as small an increment as possible and never run your CPU at more than half a volt higher than it is designed for. Also make sure your CPU is as cool as possible when overclocked.

Notice the those tubes. The aluminum tube radiates the coolness of the water and pumped it off to my rig.

Here is the waterblock i used. The Koolance waterblock.. preety neat.

Ofcourse, dont forget to put a thermal compound.

Now the very tricky part.. submersing the pump to a bucket of water hehehe...

Surely somebody's gonna comment on this, but it doesnt matter im looking for a nice water tank right now and besides its sitting right next to my Altec ADA880 subwoofer.

Ok.. lets adjust the FSB to 145/36.34, Vcore to 1.850 and DDR voltage to 2.7

It works!.. sorry for the quality, my hands are shaking that time coz im too excited. It says XP 2000+ hehehe.

Now put the system on a rugged test.

Its up and running for 2 weeks now hehehe doing good... Wait guys for the Stage 3, i'll give the bucket and the case a whole new look.

Stage 2 Complete.
