    Woyta got a reaction from Dabombinable in AMD overclocking... 23 years ago   
    I was doing this on later socket A cpu. There was cutted gap by AMD so pencil trick does not work. You had to fill gap with cyanoacrylate glue and then connect contacts with conductive lacquer. I think that I still have in garage Athlon 2000XP with unlocked multiplier and enabled laptop functionality for better power management.

    Well. Some monitors have USB hub. That means we can power Raspi internally. In case of my old HP LP2475W USB ports are on separate board. So I can disconnect them from hub and hook up two ports from raspi board.
     
    For less visible HDMI cable I would use probably HDMI flex cable. For example: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32865096456.html With some small cover it could look like plug for unused port.
    But better variant is LCD with cable cover like on Samsung 32" UH850 .
     
    Actually, in this case Raspi maybe directly fit under cover. So no mods needed at all. And you have perfect access to everything.

    Finaly over 500k. https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/Woyta
     
    I would say that atleast 50% of time was my PC waiting for WUs.
     
    This also shows me where are limits of my cooling. So now all fans in my PC are Noctua  (4x140, 2x120)
    Silentum fans (local polish brand reasonable quality) were not good enough

    Woyta got a reaction from BLLDoesTech in is water cooling a 17 year old pc worth it?   
    Actualy Athlon XP is era when  I start watercool my PC.
     Atlon XP 2500 Barton and Barton mobile ver my first watercooled CPUs I think.
    That was era of DIY waterblocks. Nowdays you can buy cheap chines waterblock and just make your mounting hardware.
     
    At this era we wer using water pumps for aquarims and gardens. Mostly from Eheim.
    Waterblock could be just piece of cooper plate and soldered cooper plate. But low restriction block from china would be better.
    Same watercooling setups does not even have radiator. Just large tank with water.  Or we wer using heating cores from cars. They are less dense than cooling radiator.
     
    First comercial sets from Thermaltake were using cooling towers

    So yes. If you want to play with tools you can build "classic" watercooling loop for very cheap.

    D5 vario. 3 or 4. Depends on configuration of loop. 5 is noisy for me.
