Case in the first picture i think its a Globalwin 802, i remember them being Crazy popular! for a beige case, and ofc OCS were selling them :P


The 802 was fantastic. I still have parts of mine although it doesnt look like one anymore. There just wasnt anything to come close unless you doubled the price


I dunno, not long after came the Chieftec Dragon and that case was finely built and in an array of colours with removable drive bays, still easily one of my favourite cases, and the best part was they were cheap as well :)

Aye it was a Globalwin 802 :) I still have the thumb screws in a box somewhere it was a great case back in the day, the slide out mobo tray was so ftw on such a cheap case!

OC’ing was so cool back then, it costs far too much these days, back then I wasn’t that far behind the big boys with unlimited budgets, granted I spent a lot more on hardware than most on here, but I didn’t spend excessively.

I first came across Sam pimping his warez on HWC as well: http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/showthread.php?t=120586 (posts from Sam on page 2)
 
I was nearly page 1 of the Orb at one stage with my Prommie cooled Barton XP2500 @ 2700Mhz and WC’ed 9800 Pro, a couple more days of refining my set up I would have been there. JR who used to post on here helped me get the best set up, but Intel brought out the Northwoods a bit too soon for me and I was on page 5 in no time  :gag: lol, but I did have the 4th highest AMD score in the world for quite awhile.

And who can forget all the all AMD/Intel row’s we had back then! I was branded a AMD fanboi then! ...funny how things come full circle and I now a Intel fanboi according to some :rofl:

I honestly cant remember why I didnt like the Dragon, perhaps it was just that Id already bought my 802 by the time it came out. The 802 had removable drive bays and MB tray as well

Still using my 802 for my main rig.
Still using the radbox i knocked up out of an old shoe box & loads of gaffer tape.
Who remembers my exploits with evaporative cooling tower & tec setup.

Those where the days when money was readily available & a mobos life was days :)

 I do  8-)  Never fancied a Tec setup myself always seemed far to high maintenance tbh.

How far did you get below ambient with the cooling tower Steve???

I remember being impressed by it... and thinking I should try one out.... but never got around to it :(

I am old :)
As for temps , with a 500w+ load got temps to a few degrees above ambient

wow... rad pretty much sucked back then...

Im a few degrees (about 4) above ambient now... with cpu/mother board/gfx and pus all watercooled... dunno what heat load that is... but the pus must add quite a bit :o

 knighty I think Steve is on about the evaporative tower temps which doesn’t use a rad at all.

Your not OCed so you load would likely be under 1/2 that amount, the CPU is by far the biggest heat producer in any comp, when you OC and up the VCore the heat output starts climbs at a alarming rate! :)

sorry, I should have explained better... I ment that in those days water temp a few degrees over ambient was pretty damn good.... but its pretty easy these days...

also... with my CPU, mother board (cll ships and mofset thingies), gfx card (gpu/ram/mofsets) 5 hard drives and the PSU Id think I was easily over 500w of heat there...

the psu must put out a fair bit of heat - (its a 1700W model - not sure how much Im using - but I have decent flow rates and it adds at least 3 or 4C to my water temps... I had to re-plum my system to make sure it was the last thing in the loop before the rad :-o

Fair point didnt know about the PSU:

Heat Transfer Method

Featuring a compact liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger developed exclusively by Koolance, the PSU-1300ATX-12N provides the most efficient heat transfer available among any ATX power supply. Heat from each component is dumped directly into an internally circulating non-conductive liquid, through the heat exchanger, and out to an existing water cooling system. Thus, liquids are kept completely separate and normal cooling fluid can be used with the PSU-1300ATX-12N.

The PSU-1300ATX-12N is not a self-dissipating product and must be connected to an existing water cooling system via its external nozzle sockets (G 1/4 threading). A PCI L-bracket "slot adapter" is provided for easy hose routing back into the chassis through an available card slot. This helps reduce the power supplys internal length.

The PSU-1300ATX-12N is capable of producing some extreme wattages. When used at maximum output capacity, Koolance recommends a water cooling system capable of dissipating at least 250W of heat while powered by 110VAC, or 300W for 220VAC. This is in addition to other water-cooled components. In other words, if your cooling system is designed around a 700W hardware heat load (CPU and dual video card water blocks, for example), the PSU-1300ATX-12N should be allotted an additional 250-300W of cooling capacity. If unavailable, it is also possible to dedicate a separate cooling system solely for the power supply, such as Koolances ICM-509.

The fact your not OCing such a system IS a crime tbh! lol

I was never much into ICing back in the day.... so Im a bit out of my debth now... theres about a million and one different options in my bios.... I had a little fiddle with the options... but it wouldnt boot at anything but the standert m/b "fastest possible" option settings...

Not used that exact board, but have used the chipset, would need to look at the manual to see where everything is to do it manually and don’t have time now will look later if you want?

To get the mobo to do it automatically try setting “Ai Overclock tuner” to X.M.P.
