This is an extreme overclocking system built by TailoredPC. It runs an AMD Athlon XP 3200+ processor with 1GB (2x512MB) of OCZ PC3500 RAM in an Abit AN7 motherboard. It has a 74GB SATA Raptor hard drive, an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro AGP video card, and an Antec TrueControl 550W power supply. The system is housed inside two full tower cases bolted together into one. The Northbridge is cooled by a Swiftech northbridge cooler with a high powered 40mmx25mm fan added, the video card is cooled by a modified Athlon 64 Heatsink from Thermaltake, the southbridge is cooled by a heatsink with a 40mmx10mm fan, and the MOSFETs and PLL chip all have heatsinks of their own. Even the RAM has 2 40mm fans blowing on it and two additional 60mm exhaust fans are installed by the PCI slots for extra exhaust under the video card. But, most importantly, the CPU is cooled by a thermoelectric module which is cooled by water. The second half of the case houses the water pump, radiator, second power supply, and a circuit board to monitor water flow, shut down the computer if the water cooling fails, and allow the entire system (both power supplies and AC water pump, included) to turn on with a single computer power button. More details and pictures of this system are on their very own page. | ||||
