 You would have to mod your bios, pretty easy to do using nibeditor 5.9 or above.
A modded bios I think would be allowed, you still have to use the hardware. Also there would be no way to know if a bios was modded. Aren't you "modding" you bios on your mother board when you change a setting from default? All you would be doing is increasing the amount of voltage allowed to be adjusted to.

 
yeah I don't think it would be a problem. Technically my 295 bios is modded for 830 core, because to takes a higher voltage.

How about a custom made Block for your SR2.
 
I have drafted plans already on my desk for just such a thing.
You have to be serious about benching cause this block is the MOTHERLOAD of copper.  Trust me when I say this, it will be 10 lbs of copper... and you won't need a phase either ;)

i dont know...

wow -70°C idle?  thats pretty sweet.  What is the current draw of that machine?  I would assume it pulls less juice then a chiller?

yeah, that idle temp was just to join the rest of the phase builder crowd...lol
but in real world performance...-43C under load. and in windows...about -49C to -53C
it's pulling about 475W to 500W on average.
compressor is a 3/4 hp samsung.
 
now i can truly understand how your home made water chiller works now. i think i'll be building one of those soon...
 

your phase change pulls as much as a chiller it would seem. Phase change can cool one item really well,   but a chiller can cool more components, just not as cold.  Chillers are the jack of all trades. 

Looks like I might be getting a 5L dewar to start with lmao...
