It's been a while, but I used to own AMD 1400 with a P3 450

fist tests with the same ram :

CPU is maxed out for the moment, attached the prometeia wrong, and my sealstring is almost gone

This is the highest Bandwidth I'd ever reached (sadly) but I have some EL4200 coming soon, and that should turn the tables;\

nice... ambient temps? whats a hot day... 75 - 80°f? case open?

temps sound incredible for a blackice rad too... only 1 fan? your room must be really cold!

it probably freezes limbs-off there

lol... i cant see making my room an icebox to get better temps or a better oc... what happens when its summer again? your right back down with the rest of them. its not real...

me, i have a cascade. i dont have to worry about letting cold air into my room for better temps ( idle - 28c / load - 30c / ambient - 63f

)... i almost bought a maze4, but there were no reviews when i was ready to buy stuff, so i went for the tc4 rev2 while i waited for the cascade. glad i did!

I think your misreading my dedication to these types of temps. Considering the P4 is safe to 45C I'd say I have some headroom. I happen to love the cold, and prior to breaking my back, I'd have my window open in the winter anyway, as I love fresh air. perhaps it's from spending most of life on Ski-slopes.

In the summer, I place an air-conditioner in my window, which takes all all 2-minutes. Regardless, I have a Prometeia.

Currently it's 71F/23C in my room and I'm sitting here with a tank-top, and shorts. Perhaps thisa meets your skeptical requirements for real-world performance? Or should I turn on the heat, and sit here in 80F temps, and then take a snapshot for YOU? I wouldn't do that, anymore then I'd move back to Hawaii.

Sorry I got a little nasty up there. I apologize. Here's even a better example, since that was only a 225FSB (I was testing OCZ PLatinum EL3500 Limted for this Review) the temps below are more indicative of "real-world" stress as it's running at 3.74GHz @ 1.65Vcore.

And on another note, not only is it 70F/21C in my room, BUT the Danger Den Maze-4 Powerkit I'm currently running (Black Ice Xtreme Radiator, and Hydor L30 pump) also has a Z-chipset water-block. While that may not be a big deal, I choose to run the system feeding the chipset waterblock first. I feel the chipset-block is as important as the CPU, in any system (perhaps even more so) I want it to get the coolest water first. As it also lowers the water temp far less then the CPU, I find this method works much more effectively. My FSB speeds are better, the AGP bus, is also positively effected (as it obviosuly resides in the NB as well) and CPU temps are only 1-2C higher running this configuration. Water exiting the CPU block, is much warmer then water exiting the chip-set block. To the effect that water leaving the CPU-block can actually have a negative effect on the NB.

Liquid3D it is impossible to have below room temperature results

your temp diode is off balance I'm afriad

only by use of a BONG, Pelt, Vapo, Prommy, LN2, .. are you able to go below room temps

you say room temp is 21°C
but the CPU is running @ 20°C?

did you put the radiator outside the window?
