never something you should do to someone elses machine, but it can be a nice
little challenge if you're that way inclined... I never got into the water
cooling, but know people that did. Also, I probably won't do it on my next
machine because it's not needed. (Not that it is now, I just had one
of those "because I can" moments. :) )</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>and dont forget the GOTCHA!</DIV>
<DIV>in theory you can just plug in 2 hdrives and SHOULD work</DIV>
<DIV>BUT</DIV>
<DIV>there are combinations out there that wont reside with each other or HAVE
to be master as opposed to slave.(admittly the older drives are the culprits but
every now and then you can get it with new drives, one of the reasons the
surgest pairs too :)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>but clocking is chip specific</DIV>
<DIV>and usually for the freak gamer trying to get that last once of grunt for
their gaming rig.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>quick short vote anyone overclocking ANY of their computers?</DIV>
<DIV>only YES votes need to reply.</DIV>
