      I’ve had some top scores on some hardware. Usually because I was the only one who had run it on that exact model of server CPU, but still…

        I think I had top ranks for the K6-233 in the day. Ran all day at 250 (3x83) which was overall better than 262 (3.5x75). Couldn’t quite boot at 292 (3.5x83) without a big Socket A heatsink strapped on.

      Well it’s not nothing to scoff at, usually the winner of these is just silicon lottery, this is making your own luck!

    Nice, was going to upgrade my GTX 1050 but it seems the old boy still has some life left in him. Will any copper waterpipes work?

      Apparently, but he also cooled them with ice water from a Jerry can, so it’s not exactly a “ready to go” solution.

      This is really just a DIY water cooled system with DIY water blocks.

        Not ready to go out? No…not at all…

        Financially accessible for most people? Absolutely.

    Is this what the academics refer to as a “mad lad”?
