dual stage cascade is cheap, alright, i must be dumb. i hope you dont eat your chocolate only gold plated:laugh:

i do exactly like you, but you must be very well paid, to own that much... i know how much money you must have paid, if you got all that stuff "legal":rolleyes:

one crappy, low watt,single stage phase is even too expensive for my purse:laugh:
i actually have to save money, for even buying me an x2 240:D

Yes all my stuff is legal :slap: I wouldn't ever steal anything. I'm not very well paid, I get about $11.5 per hour.

Kudos, dude. I have yet to meet anyone with even a single stage phase change PC (that I know of!).

At 17, you should look into the great wide world of energy jobs if you haven't already. My plumber has installed two Acadia heat pumps in the Northeast US here - a dual-path cascade system that uses considerably less BTU equivalents than oil heat and heats a house comfortably, even down to -30f outside air!

Thanks

I haven't really looked at that type of career. I'm looking into a engineering/scientific filed of work :D

I paid $1000 for the SS unit (custom built), then sold it to buy my friend's cascade unit, which was $1200. I can't really remember how much the CPUs and stuff were, but it was normal retail price for the time.

good luck :toast: I was the same way.I got in with my X2 240 so you should get 4ghz from that intel...speaking of that.. now that i have my new PSU on the E7200 and some mosfet cooling along with fresh MX-2 on heatsink i think its about time to push it to 4ghz also :D


what PSU you have coming?

cheers mate, ive been wantin to push it but waited till my rig was fairly well prtected, aftermarket cooler, decent case cooling and now a decent psu, which is a Corsair 650W TX Series. i no 650w is a bit overkill but if i intend to upgrade ive got the head room, pluss if i wish to oc with that upgrade if i get realy into this. Im a bit new to oc so other then the neccecities ive listed what other cooling would you recomend, you mentioned mosfet's?

Bro from experience I can tell you the Megahalem bro. Water is great but for an i7 you need a heck of a good water setup which is lotta $$$$$ even if you buy parts used. THe cooler is like $60 or something.

My max temp was 90ºc benching wPrime @ 4687 MHz 1.494v. Good enough for me, daily I was able to run up to 4.3 GHz @ 1.240v with temps only at 70-72ºc If I recall correctly.
