    headphones can be included, yes.

    The boombox speaker on the left is not part of the system.
  3. Fast_N_Curious
    It's about 1000W RMS and 1500W peak

    Sorry forgot to include specs Yamaha RX-V863 400w A/V receiver x2 Klipsch 12" reference subwoofers x1 Logitech Z623 130w 8" subwoofer x1 Klipsch RC-62 II center speaker x2 Sony speakers (from sony lbt-zx66i) x2 Logitech THX satellite speakers x1 Tactile transducer

    yes... bass and 88 threads

    So effectively a dual loop system with the liquid to liquid heat exchanger in the middle. Advantages of Liquid to liquid plate heat exchanger: -MUCH more surface area than a radiator. Many orders of magnitude more, especially with a 60 plate unit. -liquid to liquid heat exchange is much more efficient than liquid to air. Hence, I have a much higher delta T than most standard loops. -Very low restriction, so it wont impede loop flow rate. -Durable. I've had this heat exchanger frozen solid (on the outside) and it's strong enough to handle that no problem. PIC of heat exchanger and system.

    So I can get about 30 minutes of benching out of the 5 gallon bucket before it really starts to heat up and effect peak clocks, more if I leave everything outside.

    The bucket contains supercooled methanol (40%) @ -10*F and a 60 plate liquid to liquid heat exchanger. .. see pic below Other days I will bring the entire PC outside and use wireless mouse and keyboard to OC from the house. More context:

    Thanks. I forgot to tune the uncore ratio for this run It should have been able to hit at least 5.2-5.3GHz with the temps that night. Cooling system:

    Thank you. I was referring to the SP rating on later gen Intel processors, I should have pointed that out. However, I assume the theory stands?
  15. Fast_N_Curious
    After a bit of research, I can see the SP score is an automated indication of potential silicon quality based solely on the voltage table, and it is USUALLY a good indicator, but it is still far from the final word on the matter. I've seen others reporting that supposedly lower-scored chips actually fared better overall. Like, when der8auer did his 12900KS review and he compared several chips on their max stable core clock, a mere SP80 12900K did 5.2ghz @ 1.274V, while a SP88 12900KS only did the same 5.2ghz @ 1.282V. It is my determination that SP is merely there for voltage efficiency and doesn't factor in processor scaling, hence, should not be used as a performance marker. Sure, the voltage my vary a bit between processor cores but not significantly enough to affect your overclock ceiling. Anyone else buy into this argument or am I way out in left field?
