Hey Skeeter: No, I didn't need to do any special modifications. I did not seal the CPU, but if you don't, you'll have to keep adding thermal paste every few months. To seal it, I recommend some basic, high-temp silicon that you can...

I believe this would work. I'm not familiar with phase-changing cooling yet, but I am slightly familiar with submerged. Just know that you will want to make sure your system is running, your tank is finished, and everything else looks...

All right, guys. This is my last post in this topic. Here's what happened: I was getting really high temps on the CPU even though the tank and oil was cool. I knew that the back-plate for my heatsink needed to be replaced (the "nuts"...

Today I'll be buying a submersible pump rated @ 1056 GPH. That should give me a bit more than 3x the pull my current pump does. I'll post pics and results when I'm done. What do you guys think about using a low-watt peltier cooler...

Read this! Important! OK, this is where I ask for help. I'm currently trying to "perfect" the system. It's currently not working optimally, and I KNOW it can work better. Currently my CPU is running @ 150 FSB x 22, 3.3 GHz. I could...

All right. On with the story! So, I bought a new radiator, new tools, and a new power supply. I was determined to do it right this time. I won't claim it came out perfect, but it's a world better than what I had the first...
