Under a big Oak tree, the temp is 33° C. My house is surrounded by trees towering the house. House A/C will be running in the next 7+ days based on weather forecast.

Love to see you running several systems with dry ice in an office.

Bet you will be running around like a chicken with its head cut-off.

Or, only morticians could sustain the ocing record on a regular basis.

That's funny...guess I'm a moron for running my rigs with cheap air cooling in temps hotter than I've heard here.

I've always wondered; what do you use a dry ice cooled machine for?

A good way to look at it

I do believe it will get more popular in getting OCing records due to low initial investment cost.

It's been so ****ing hot; I don't want to do anything.

I don't even want to turn on any PC because of the additional heat generated in the room. I reset the Venice to stock vcore 1.36 and 275 HTT, with room temp >30°C this thing idles at 33°C and never tops 38° C after one hour of HL2.

Better than Northwood 2.6C default vcore and 240 FSB ..... but Intel could rip DVD at half of the time.

Oh well, ready for the indoor A/C cooled race track ..... cold beer and hot pursuit.

Finally the house A/C is resting today; cool off a bit for a change.
