A WaterCooled Mac Pro?

[pit5000]

i actually thought about this a while back as a third party upgrade product....

 

the thermal core will need to be replaced with a triangular waterblock with 3 contact surfaces. Liquid would flow down and back up through the block through VERY wide paths. Liquid then enters a rad/fin array to dissipate heat. The added block up to will probably need to be at least 7 inches high with equal diameter to the Mac itself in order to handle the amount of heat.

Its just a thought and yes it is a great post, simple but to the point and its all in short form

It adds nothing to the thread. Just like your last couple of posts here.

Quit calling it a fucking trash can people, it makes you all sound like uneducated c**ts.

That was uncalled for, and a little bit harsher than it needed to be in my opinion.

I agree, but I'm sick of people calling it a trash can.

Understandable

[Askew]

Uneducated cunt right?

 

Get over yourself :lol:

I'm pretty sure if they do workstation they do overclocking

 

What? Which Workstation processor can be overclocked?

 

None, so how on earth would they know it can (actually can't) be overclocked.

Better go visit the doc, you're going to be sick for a long time.

 

That square Mac that came out a long time ago was refereed to as a toaster for the longest time, I still call it a toaster as the CD/DVD drive points up and well they come out like a toaster.

 

First image I get when I search for Mac Toaster

 

 

Its already started so there's not much you can do other than cringe every time.

People have slang terms for anything and everything. This is compounded by the fact that it does, indeed, resemble a black waste recepticle.

Xeons- No.

But if they using gaming components which can do a good job for video editing and rendering. You can overclock an i7 which gets the job done.

Any K/X series processor? A lot of the AMD processors? They aren't "Server" processors, so what are then they? They are Desktop aka Workstation processors.

Last I checked you didn't need a Server CPU to OC.

 

There are 3 types of processors, Mobile, Desktop (colloquially refereed to as a Workstation) and Server.

Now that we have dispelled this.... moving on.

You could easily water cool this. It would be a pain in the ass to disassemble and put together but it is doable. You could use a a few triangle shaped RAD cores with a pump/rez combo on the bottom.

This would look pretty awesome if you replaced the outter shell with a clear shell.

[flibberdipper]

You can add 3 blocks to 2 AIO rads easily. That Asus twin 7970 thing had a single rad and 2 pump/block units on the card.

2 pumps, comin right up! I get what you mean, but I couldn't control myself.

Psst... You can't even enter the Mac BIOS, so how on earth are you going to change voltages and what not? You can use the most over clockable processor(s) and you will never ever be able to OC it, because they lock you out of BIOS. So, yet again, you will never OC a Mac :rolleyes:

 

Also, search Workstation Processor on the Intel site and tell me how many i7's pop up.

I was not talking about a mac, you might want to look back on what I was replying to

You might want to look at the thread title, you are OT.

and? we were talking about value and then I said on the contrary you can overclock which a mac can't but an extra $1000 PC can do. Not exactly off topic

Except someone made a comment about a PC that could compare to the topics Mac system would cost $1000 more. Thus someone mentioned OC'ing.. Then you showed up and obviously didn't understand the comment about OC'ing.

Also you will note Desktop processors = Workstation processors. You will also note that Intel only has 3 categories for processor on their Website: Mobile, Desktop and Server.

My post wasn't from the front page Intel Classifies Workstation under Desktop processors. As a workstation is still a desktop.

I hope you get a chance to build a workstation for someone, I can't wait!

Your sarcasm aside, I already have. I've built over 150 computers over the last year, some of them being workstations but the bulk of them being Desktop or Server Nodes going to local Data Centers. I build workstations, server nodes and desktops for a living. Workstations are just more powerful desktops that are geared towards a certain set of tasks.. They usually use single/dual Xeon processors and a lot of RAM and have at least 1 high end GPU if not 2 in SLI. But they can also use i7 CPUs.

Workstation CPU's usually fall under Desktop CPUs unless we are talking Xeon, then that is obviously a Server CPU and very few Desktops use Xeon processors. They don't fall under Desktop CPU's as Xeon's support ECC RAM and i7's don't for the most part.

So how many OC-ed, (if you read my sig I have no idea what your sig is)

How many OC'd workstations have I built? 12 at last count this year. Many were using the K/X series i7's as the client(s) didn't have need of a Xeon. Last I checked you can OC K/X series CPU's. Also you can OC Xeons via  the BCLK or FSB, just FYI. And I built 2 E5 Xeon Workstations last year that I OC'd via BCLK to 4.2 GHz.

i think this would be good but it wouldn't work! plus it a mac who cares
