This was the kind of stuff that excited me back when I was first getting into PC gaming. Nowadays, computers are so fast and games are so forgiving that I haven't had to fuss with overclocking for years.

Back then it felt like the only option, getting maximum frames was a function of my ability to build a highly effective cooling setup and how much patience I had to tweak everything.

My very last foray into custom cooling was a homebrew phase change cooler using a cell I had bought off eBay. This is making me want to jump back in just for the fun of the build. But without the need for performance, it does lack a bit of thst purpose it had back then.
