My H80 on 'ICE'!!!!!!!! 
Sorry for the Double post guys.. I performing a little experiment with my
I'm going to be placing this baby on 'ICE'!!!!
Yes!!! 'ICE'!!!!!

If you were to put the rad inside some acetone and dry ice mix, then you'd get really cold temps! -doubt it would freeze still cause of the heatload that is pumping from the cpu constantly-
-Mini-fridges never work, never will, cause they use smallish tecs/peltiers and they can't cool an active heatload, only stuff at ambient temps -and rather slowly-
-Same thing for fridges, they just don't have the muscle to be on all the time and cool and active heat source, they just cool stuff down to a certain temp and hold it there by kicking in the compressor when needed.
(Only thing powerful enough for it to work is either, Dry ice, Window AC unit evaporator inside a water reservoir -with thermistor removed-.......

I already done a test run. Checking for condensation build-up. Frost or Freezing.. I tell ya!! My temps dropped like a stone......... Ch it out!!!
Well, this is my system I'm testing in!!! and the condition at normal O.C. I keep my PC at working, gaming, what ever I'm doing......
My system at Idle in normal conditions..

Well, for beginners... This is something I feel should be done with a open platform. Really not to hang it out your case. I just think the hole situation is harder to control if you run into problems... In my particular situation, this is what I have to work with for this experiment. Anyway, I will be posting these pic's through out the day & please excuse me for my non-conservative why of writing this thread.. 
I'm really not that much of a writer in the first place... I'm also 'NOT' here too; by any means, teach 
anything to anyone about a particular procedure, system of 'How Too' or some 'Scientific Method' of overclocking... 
I chose this particular experiment knowing the dangers at hand... aaand I just wanted to have some fun So now that I have all that aside, 
Enjoy and 'Please', All positive & negative comments are welcome!!!!

Gallery My Baby!!!! No JOKES!!! She's under construction....
What a Mess!!!! 
Normal spec's for that day of testing.. I was lucky because it was cool that day. Which in turn made my office a cool 26c
Padding her up and getting the 'RAD' ready to be 'ICED'.
While my RAD was now out of the case & all fans removed. I booted my PC the first time to see were the temps would start to go..
I have my GPU covered but I had underclocked it to take some of the heat off it.
Temps started to drop by the second..
I had to change out the shoe Box for larger one, taller box I was resting the RAD on. As you can see, that RAD was starting to heat up and cut into the 'ICE' at the back corner...
I was checking those tubes every few mins just to make sure there was no condensation build up..
You can see that the first block of ICE was already starting to melt.. So I had to place another piece on top of the RAD..
When I threw that other piece of ICE on, my temp's shot down too the lowest point I got it too!!
Now here is were it start to get a little scary because now condensation was just starting to form on the tubes from the RAD working it's way towards the pump.. 
It was creeping up the hose min by min!!!
I decided it was time to cover the container and to see if I could retain more of the cold inside, besides trying to keep the condensation at a low on the tubes and block.. If I would have seen any kind of build up of condensation on the head(CPU block), I would have STOP!!!
By this time I had started to push into 4.3 & 4.4Ghz.... Now take note. This first test was to see were my faults were, my weaknesses in my hardware, Ect.Ect Most of all I wanted to see what would be my highest CPU clock speeds I would be able to boot into windows 7 Ult. and hold for 15min each boot. Run a few small task's, web search's, & run a real-time benchmark ( Sciencemark 2.0) in 3 passes... Well needless to say, as that RAD got hotter & hotter; the ICE melted faster & faster. So I had to start working quicker if I wanted to reach 4.8-4.9Ghz

Well, as you can see the condensation really started to build and continue building all the way to the CPU block!!! Every 30 sec's or so I would check the paper behind the block with a cotton swab & see if there was moisture building on the paper or not!!! 
The 'ICE' is melting At the same time the ICE was melting quick..
My last DeskTop snap-shot I took. Right after this picture is when I reached 4716.90Mhz!!! 4.7Ghz O.C'ed from a 3.6Ghz Default 'out of the Box'......

Now, by the next time I looked under the towel, IT Was gone!! The 2 blocks were melted and I was in the middle of a min- stress test!! Now when I touched that RAD, It was very warm..

So now I had to stop and change out bowels. I had one more bowel filled with water and frozen and a small block left and I was still only at 4.5Ghz.... By this time I was well failing any kind of stress test even got clicked on & started!!! 'BOOM' she go to boot. So Now I was just going to try to get my highest Overclock I could with the conditions I set and the hardware I have to use.... I knew though after this point It was going to be a struggle even get close to 4.7, let alone 4.8<< ( wishful thinking again)!!!

Now, by 10, maybe 12 mins trying to get my Rig to even boot passed +4.750Mhz or over..
which was a failure ... When I looked under the towel again??? 'POOF' The 'ICE' was all gone.... Needless to say, Testing has now 'Concluded'.....

Fourth reason is my wife and these damn kid's!!! 
OverClocking is something a man needs to do when he's alone!!!
