You could salvage a lot out of a 5000 BTU for a Phase unit. You would just need a compressor, the evaporator to put on the CPU and some hosing and be able to recharge it. Maybe some other smaller things, but IM pretty sure the Compressor\Condenser are all you need for a basic unit.

There is a 90% chance im dead wrong though

nice setup you got there 3oh6

I loved the i5 6 series review you put up on XS, it was quite entertaining to read, though a little sad considering i just picked up a i5 650

thanks, just remember that half of disappointment comes from high expectations...now that expectations have been lowered, disappointment should go down too

seriously though, you have to keep the source of the content in perspective. i wrote it for the high-end benchmarking crowd with that and only that crowd in mind. the idea of good/bad is fluid and my perspective on hardware is much much different from most. if it can't achieve a top ten result in HWBot, it is bad in my books. obviously that isn't going to be the case for everyone.

hopefully you enjoy the setup, it may be a blast just to overclock even without amazing results. be sure to post up some results here or in the P55 section when you get up and running.

I was fumbling around with some killer gpu clocks, but not cold enough, so reverted back to the 'ol standbys.  Good thing, cause I need to go to bed....have to wait until the adrenaline wears off though!

oh yeah...i can tell those we're all gpu's there! witha  212, that's a gpu over clcok. the 3984 is your cpu over clock.

very nice indeed!!

and here you we're having issues...can't see how now...lol

Thanks John.  Yea, I was having issues.  Power being one and physx being the other.  Got the big ol beefy PCP&C 1200w and never looked back!

SAWEEETT!!!  your more then halfway to 47K!!  OUTSTANDING Q!
217 bclk is a magic number isn't it

Well even if this chip turns out to be a bad batch, ive got a i7 860 ready to go as well.   Will also be picking up a Classy and W3540 over the summer.

and yes i will be sure to post up some benchmark results ;)

No, the August release one you mentioned.  But I don't think it was the driver, because it did the same as the older one (low physx scores) up until I installed the new PSU.
