Ever wondered how cool your computer would be outside in the Winter?

Well here you go.

 

Its about -8C with -22C wind chills here in Southern Wisconsin, not the coldest but its certainly not warm. The heater inside my truck has failed and its pleasently chilly in here. Some of you know that I built a computer designed to handle the harshness of the road, while still bolstering high end computer components. I have my rig in my profile for those who don't, and maybe tell my story somewhere on the forum.

 

If I wasn't under 3 layers of blankets, I'd say this is prime for some super overclocking challenges! Couldn't get much colder without throwing the computer up on the roof, with the panels open to the wind.

 

Now time to play some Grand Theft Auto 5 to warm things up in here.

odd, even those numbers don't add up, even if you multiply 1296*2 it doesn't even come close to 2933...

Do we have a liar perhaps?

I dialed settings back recently when I was working on the CPU overclock because Prime95 kept crashing on RAM tests, haven't bothered to update my profile since then, fixing.

1.43v on the 4970K? Jeez... I'm not comfortable tapping beyond 1.35v. I do have plenty of headroom however even without the heater fail winter outdoor air cooling, maybe I'll try to give it a little more.

Do you have to worry about the AIO cooler freezing? Just curious what they use for fluid in those.

most of the time its gylcol or some toxic mix in them anything under -10 temps on the fluid the pump probly would fail before the liquid starts to gel up
