    I'm running the h50 on my on AMD Phenom Quad Core overclocked to 2.8Ghz (from 2.1). It's a great all-in-one-system. I'm going to be switching to a front fan setup like source's.

    My temps are stable around 22C. I recommend getting the Arctic Silver Thermal Compound as the provided compound isn't all that great.

      Lol, I am going to do this with the comp I am on soon. I am just waiting to build my new rig.

        In all seriousness though, anyone know what all this requires?
        You don't need a water tight case.

          mineral oil cooling is nothing more than a science experiment in my opinion. Unless you're running an external radiator to cool the mineral oil the temps will steadily increase and yield worse performance than a traditional custom water cooled loop.

          If you do choose to run a radiator with the mineral oil then there's no benefit over a WC loop (noise, maintenance).

          Either go h2o, or go Air.

            I know it isn't 120mm, but this fan is bad ass:

            It is VERY loud though. I bought two of them for a RC hover craft I was building. Those two on my craft were enough to lift close to 5 pounds.

                      It can actually be done pretty cheap. We did it in college for the hell of it. We used a fish tank and through the little air bubble machines in too for effect. If you want the real deal with a pump and radiator you are talking a bit more. All you have to do is move the hard drive outside the case. Mineral oil doesn't evaporate.

                      Edit: My main issue with oil cooled stuff, it makes it heavy as FUCK.

                              Why dies anyone bother overclocking, these days? I mean, way back when, I had a nifty dual celeron machine that I got going to 550mhz. That was back when you could really derive some meaningful benefits, though.

                              Nowadays, why bother? It's a lot of work and the ancillaries cost as much if not more than a faster processor. ...and then you have to use some giantized case.

                                ^some people enjoy doing it as a hobby. That'd be like asking why anyone bothers modifying their e30's when you could just get a new car...
