[QUOTE="supercooled.net, post: 300903, member: 24988"] Yeah I miss the days of overclocking processors with dipsticks... I just finished putting the new water blocks I CnC'd out of copper today on my extra set of processors. If nothing else they look cool. I'll have pictures up on my site later this week. I hope to put them in tonight and see if it makes any difference in the temperatures. I believe it will since the stock Apple blocks were made from aluminium and had poor flow pattern inside the block. I'll let you know how everything works. As for overclocking the G5, I have no doubt someone will figure it out. People have always said that processors are "not overclockable" like the old Willamette core P4. However in a few months some clever fellow figured out a firmware and BIOS hack which allowed you to overclock them. In fact my parents Dell has been overclocked with a Willamette core P4. Just give people some time and I'm sure they'll figure something out. I am fairly new to Macs but have been on 3DMark teams for the past 4 years, since I was 15, for overclocking PCs and building extreme cooling rigs, therefore I'm not fully up to speed on what IBM has been developing for Macs, and now that Macs are using Intel processors, I'm sure we'll be seeing some Mac Pro overclocks soon... I'm not brave enough to try anything on mine yet. :eek: [/QUOTE]
