Ahhhh the joys of winter

degu22 · 27-January-08, 11:22 PM

Well here in Calgary it's -41 degrees C with a wind chill...perfect overclocking weather. So i broke out my dryer vent hose and a high flow fan. I like to think of it as my cold air intake for my computer. I've got this baby blowing directly onto my cpu cooler keeping her a perfect 20 degrees C @ 4.05 ghz@1.4 volts. Ahhh i love it.

I don't mind the cold but -41c is just down right bitter.

I walked back from University in a t-shirt today. It's been a very mild winter - no snow at all. My Q6600 is nice and toasty.

Why can't we have some of that action?

We didn't get a proper summer last year and this winter has had about 1 week where I needed to wear a jacket outside. Pathetic.

Who's with me in leaving every light on, driving fast and leaving my computer folding 24/7 to speed up global warming?

It's actually been slightly chilly around my piece of Florida. I got up this morning and
it was 50dF inside the house. Of course I'm waiting on a new mobo so I can oc my rig.
It will probably warm up the day I get it :-)
