Coming in tandem with the toasty AMD side of things, we figured it would be beneficial to put a processor (that doubled as a hotplate for the longest time) underwater. Unfortunately, the motherboard that we used some long ages ago for the "High Hell" article has long passed away (yon P4 power connector melted via a faulty PSU), and the new Gigabyte board simply refusing to properly set voltages. As such, we're in a touch of a pickle. At this point in time, the current top over clocks of the chip will essentially stand, and temperatures will be taken. Sorry for the inconvenience guys.
