Overclocking and noise abatement

[FireFox]

when we talk about overclocking a modern CPU or GPU, you increase your power consumption by 50% to gain 2-4% at best. we are not in the late 2000s anymore where a q6600 overclocks from 2.4 Ghz to like 3.7-4.0 Ghz. we talk about (at best) single core boost on all cores as the absolute limit.

i'd rather undervolt

True.
I'm no longer interested in overclocking like i used to, my CPU can do 5.1GHz 1.32.5v, 5.0GHz 1.275v but at the end i have it running at 4.8GHz 1.22v, i have limited the GPU to 1875MHz 0.850v and the Ram rated 3600MHz is slightly overclocked to 3800MHz but running at stock voltage.

Downclocking and undervolting has become my new hobby

What do you guys think about the concept of running two pumps? Will this improve flow rates?

I know some people knock this case but keep in mind it's the only thing I have left, so I am stuck with it for now. That means it's the only thing I can tinker with. That means the only content I can deliver is on that.

Its not like running a Compound Charger systems on a car as electric motors have limits. 1 large pump is better than 2 in series, you could have multi rads and pumps, aka 2 water loops.

At the end of the day most people use 2 pumps for the following reasons: Aesthetic- Show off or Backup/Redundancy in case one pump fails.

Yeah it's not like you can spool an electric pump using another lije in car charging.

I guess Id prefer a split loop system myself that are thermistor/thermostat controlled for the fans.

A Craigslist "gaming computer"...

Just a bad dream. The possible horror of overvolting your water pump. lol

My daily rig I expect to be effectively silent, this is one of the reasons I got into custom water cooling, if I'm just benching I couldn't give a damn as long as my ears still work after the fact

My rigs fans i have on a rheostat excluding cpu, in gaming i raise them.

I have my CPU fans on one, mainly to raise them for long video encoding workloads, for gaming I've never needed to since the CPU power draw is more manageable in those scenarios and I don't use particularly hot GPUs.
