I once used a Phenom I boxed cooler on a 3770K when my H100i broke. I just layed the cooler on the CPU.

Worked fine for a week until I got replacement, didn't went over 85°. I downclocked it a bit just to be sure.

here's a good one for you, I can't believe it but this shit solved all the problems I've ever had relating to that kinda shit:

Pic is my PC in winter.
Exhaust goes out the window
Had an intake from the window (not posted)

>>60136937
wouldn't external air have a potential shitload of moisture and dust?

>>60136953
Yes, but not any more or less that the air in my house.
Our Winters are super dry anyways.

>>60136937
Take out the red LEDs and maybe it won't be so hot, Einstein.

it's a water-cooled PC, I just wanted to see my GPU under 25F at Max load.

>>60136967
Okay, so first of all, why would you want to blast the warm air coming off your computer out the window in winter? That's useful heat you're throwing away for no reason. It would be better to open your window if it gets too warm. Second, the moisture that could be condensed on your computer comes from INSIDE, not outside. Your breath and sweat, the steam from your kitchen and bathroom, etc. Your computer is not a sealed system and that moisture can get jnside.

wrt54g routers actually get a decent boost in routing speed when overclocked, and they overclock a bit better with additional cooling.

>>60137196
Do you also overclock your toaster and microwave?

Please emphasize on how that single part could be used as a cable without adding any other components.

>>60137320
Cable and connector mean the same thing.

>>60137350
A cable is one or more wires bundled or braided into one assembly.

How would a job help with an overheating laptop, you massive idiot?

>>60137295
You keep your eggs on top of the refrigerator?
Also, what the fuck is going on here?

>>60137361
Going by the dictionary, a cable is something that connects. Therefore a connector is a cable because it connects.

>>60137350
You can have a cable that doesn't have terminations. In this case, it is not a connector, because it cannot connect things together,

You can have a connector that doesn't have a cable between the terminations.

>>60137344
How would I go about overlocking my toaster?

>>60137377
A cable does not neccesarily connect.

>>60137027
My room has a de humidifier running, it's all good.

>>60137382
>>60137395
A connector doesn't really connect anything if you don't plug in a wire and then another connector.
Connectors are not connectors.

>>60137401
You could just solder the terminations together without any wire.

>>60137371
You could buy a cooling device that doesn't require duct tape. IMO though if the taped on fan works, what's the difference?

>>60137410
It's not connecting anything unless you modify it. Got it. What should its new name be?

>>60137423
What should what's new name be?

>>60137430
The new name of the connector. We've discovered that it's not really what it has been named.

>>60137392
More power. Literally. They are usually linear and don't work on AC power that they weren't designed for. Plug a toaster meant for 110 into 220 and you'll get double the output, maybe, if the elements don't burn out.

>>60137237
This. Is a connector.

>>60137438

>>60137494

>>60137503

it looks like he is dragging cool air in, plus it only seems to be going to the radiator for the WC setup so it's not like the components themselves are exposed to any outside air.

Unless you run a server or some overclocked monster or you are encoding 24/7 it's not like a computer is going to significantly increase the temperatures of your room.

>>60137521
Its the same thing

>>60137514

>>60137438
I have 0 knowledge of electrical engineering. Is it likely that the heating element can stand more than the highest setting? Would there be any way to figure out without frying your toaster?

That fan-tape combo probably works better than any cooling pad in the market. Anyway, that's not the point, I was merely pointing how stupid your/his (we need fucking IDs) suggestion of getting a job was.

>>60137541
if you knew what the elements were made from you could probably figure it out though.

seems like a good way to burn down your house desu

>>60137541
Power is Voltage times Resistance

Internal resistance is the same, but you're doubling your Voltage, so your Power doubles. As for knowing the heating element's limits, you'd have to have access to the manufacturer's spec sheet.

>>60137555
That would be overclocking.
Simply increasing the voltage is not overclocking.

>>60137549
My toast is finishing twice as fast, so yeah.

>>60137576
But the internal clock isn't running any faster.

>>60137373
Eggs do not need to be refrigerated. They last for about a week. If you have 2 for breakfast daily a dozen won't last that long

>>60137566
im obviously overclocking the chips inside my high-end toaster/microwave
makes pushing the buttons much more responsive
standard clocked speed is just atrocious.
press start button and it takes 0.03 seconds before starting
after over-clocking the chips, it only takes 0.003 seconds

>>60137592
Yes it is. It's a countdown timer for when the toast is done.

base64 is not an encryption method, its an encoding method. It provides ZERO security (using standard dictionary, not that custom dicts would provide any extra security), so essentially what they are asking is nearly the same thing as just storing the information in plaintext.

>>60138013
What if I'm on a plane?

>>60138025
buy gogo inflight for 15$, or bring up command prompt and write a script to ping the wifi until it crashes Then when the router restarts, assuming its got a 12 meg pipe, you should be able to bypass the security protocol in the small window of time where that security isn't back up when the router is restarting

Water itself isn't a good conductor, but it can corrode, which can then cause shorts. It can also dissolve electrolytes out of dust and become conductive. The point is that it's dumb to roll the dice like that just so you can jerk off to low temperatures.

>>60137529
>it's not like the components themselves are exposed
They don't need to be. If you reduce the temperature of the waterblock and surrounding PCB lower than the ambient temperature of the room, it can then condense water out of the air if there's sufficient humidity. There's no practical reason to cool a computer lower than the temperature range humans are comfortable at, so using cold winter air is just introducing a point of failure.

>it's not like a computer is going to significantly increase the temperatures of your room
I know from experience that is not true. It's more apparent in summer than winter, since houses are usually easier to heat in winter than cool in summer and that you can wear a sweater, etc, when it's cold, but being naked is as cool as it gets in summer.

I love imagined neckbeard problems. CPUs can easily handle those temperatures, they are literally designed to. Sure, maybe it dies after five years and you'll say to yourself that you would have had another one if you just tucktaped a fucking fan to your laptop, but having a fucking job kind of trivializes that kind of problem.

I'm not a climate scientist but iirc co2 is doesn't block solar radiation, but it does trap the thermal radiation generated when the earth absorbs solar radiation.
