Well it is getting close to the end of winter here in Manitoba Canada and the garage is looking better and better as a hang out. In the garage I can smoke have a few drinks and I have been looking at ways to bring down my CPU temps, and what better way to bring down my temps that start them off low.
So out to the garage I go to see how High I can take my overclock.
Stay tuned for more from the garage.

I also have a pieces of hardware to test out and shoot for the best config.
in addition to my SIG RIG, I have 3 - 4870 dark knight cards 1 9800gt and 1 nvidia 260. also I have setup a phenom II with a water cooling setup as well.
so off to the garage to enjoy an ambient temp of -5c (that is 23*F)

I will keep you updated.
