make it happen!

my, bad wrong comparison i forgot about bulldozer and i'm aware that this is only napkin maths, not anything definitive. the point i was (poorly) making was that a 40% increase in ipc wont necessarily make the new architecture higher performance than intels chips

i wouldn't get your hopes up for a $99 new motherboard with dual GPU support

i'm not a huge expert on cpu's and i know that benchmaks don't necessarily reflect real world performance but i quick google search shows the current single threaded performance of the i5-6600k and fx-8350 http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/441/AMD_FX-Series_FX-8350_vs_Intel_Core_i5_i5-6600K.html . this shows that even with a 40%+ increase the new zen cpu's will have, at best, similar performance to the current skylake cpu's. for amd to shift units they will need a vary competitive price as they wont have the performance to make people upgrade from their current systems. again, i know these are only benchmarks

hi llt community. if anyone has the equipment and time to do this please do: could someone benchmark a fx-8350 and i5-6600k with only one core enabled and underclock both processors to 3.5GHz. this would allow us to see relative ipc (instructions per clock) and see if a 40% increase in performance will make the new zen architecture cpu's performance competitive with the skylake cpu's. please do a variety of benchmarks for variety!edit: a further breakdown of single threaded performance http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/441/AMD_FX-Series_FX-8350_vs_Intel_Core_i5_i5-6600K.html#bench

kennyS, JW has been really shaky lately and he is awping less and less

good luck ,may you have the best medical staff helping you!

i wish i had a better answer

arkam knight crashing on pc? rly? but seriously arkam knight is super buggy on pc, their was a big controversy when it came out on pc due to its poor optimisation and buggy nature especially on amd. all i can recommend is downloading drivers or refunding it on steam.

thanks for this pictures, it should give be a better idea for the amount of oil needed

I plan to use the pump to remove the oil before moving the pc (the large holes on the lid are to remove the radiators outlet tube so the tube can be removed, aimed at a bucket and the oil will be pumped into the bucket). what motherboard size where you using, i'm trying to gauge how much oil i'll need. i got 10l from rough volume calculations but i haven't factored in the actual pc components volume.

ok mum!

you can tell i'm new to this, i've earned that newbie status!

thanks for the encouragement, do you mind if I ask what type of acrylic you used (cast/extruded/don't know), i'm using 10mm acrylic as puget systems used 3/8 inch acrylic, also I'm taking this to uni so any strength bonus will be useful as it will be moved by care every few months. Don't worry plenty of pictures to follow, it may take a few weeks for them to come. i was surprised to find out how much the oil costs, its about £50 for 10l in the UK

your golden mate, more than enough cooling

Hi LTT comunity, I'm a 17 year old student that's a little too obsessed with oil pc's. After the unfortunate discontinuation of puget systems own own oil pc kit I've decided to build my own, I'm doing this crazy build as part of a UK qualification by Edexcel/Pearson called the "Extended Project Qualification" (basically do what ever you want and write about it/ build something). The whole system is made of 10mm laser cut cast acrylic and uses liquid submersion cooling in a mITX form factor so it fits on my desk. Also all dimension are in mm (the correct units ) "typical forum stuff" list is here: 1x mITX motherboard (i've decided on the Z97E-ITX/ac http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z97E-ITXac/) 1x dual slot graphics card (undecided and not relevant as I only play CS:GO ) 1x i5-4690k some RAM 1x ATX psu (Superflower Leadex Gold 750W because I allready have one and it looks cool http://www.super-flower.com.tw/products_detail.php?class=2&sn=17&ID=101〈) 1x noctual NH-D9L cpu cooler (this combined with oils superior cooling properties should allow for some overclocking http://noctua.at/en/nh-d9l.html?___from_store=fr) 1x 240gb SANDISK SSD PLUS (oil resistant https://www.sandisk.co.uk/home/ssd/ssd-plus) "less typical oily stuff" 1x pump (XSPC / Laing DDC-1T Pro 3.1 (10W) http://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/p/XSPC--Laing-DDC-1T-Pro-31-10W_45558.html) 1x pump top (XSPC Laing DDC Acrylic Pump Top V2 (Multiport) http://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/p/XSPC-Laing-DDC-Acrylic-Pump-Top-V2-Multiport_48668.html) some 13mm/10mm fittings and tubing 1x 240mm radiator with ports at either end for intake at one side of the case and output at the other side (Black Ice Nemesis Radiator GTS 240 XFlow - Black http://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/p/Black-Ice-Nemesis-Radiator-GTS-240-XFlow-Black_44942.html) 10l + of white mineral oil/paraffin (depending if your a british or american http://www.neatwholesale.co.uk/raw-materials/natural-ingredients/white-mineral-oil-bp?gclid=CjwKEAiAw4e1BRDfi7vghaWU9jESJACzo9jucYWZa9Bzuh9GPmphtxly5cMs8i6COzCo83dU3VwQlBoC75Hw_wcB) some generic steel handles for the lid/inner case The PC consisted of a inner and outer case that are detached but locked together by a indentation in outer cases lid, this is fairly common to puget systems original larger kits but you cant reinvent the wheel too many times (full credit to puget here). The inner case is filled with the oil while the outer case can be removed from the oil for PC maintenance/upgrading/troubleshooting. The inner and outer case is made of 10mm thick clear cast acrylic, it will be jointed with Tensol 12 acrylic cement (that will hopefully "fuse" the acrylic together for a oil tight seal), the pump is mounted on its own little ledge to maximise space efficiency, standard motherboard standoffs and standard screws will be use for mounting the various components and finally the handles are general steel handles. I'm asking for any design based feedback or advise in general I'm also very aware that oil pc's make no sense and are for stupid people with more money than sense who also want pc bragging rights (this describes me). For all of you CAD wizards I'm using solidworks 2015, I'm heavily self taught so could and CAD advise be in plain English please! I'm fairly close to needing to build it soonish due to the nature of completing this as part of a qualification. If you have any questions please ask!
