AMD Phenom x6 1050T overclock with a Corsair H50

In this video, I overclock a Linux machine I've had that's been choking on the work I'm giving it and making too much noise in the process. The Corsair H50 closed loop water cooler, while kind of bulky, solves the problem. The result is an ugly but very functional souped up box.

I think the problem with your PC before you put the watercooling in was lack of a rear fan. It really can make all the difference :) Also if you have a pair of tin snips, or large pliers, I'd try and enlarge the rear fan hole to 120mm. Should give much better cooling :)

@sheps999 Maybe, but I'm using this stock AMD fan on another build and when the CPU loads up, it sounds like an airplane despite 2 rear fans on the box. Next time I buy another Corsair unit (which I almost certainly will do), I'm going to make sure the case can handle it properly w/o alteration.

@hazcheezeburgerz i used my credit card,because cpu got in mail for me.If pins are to much bent for card to pass,, try to find slimmer card or something. Going from intel to amd, amd has pins on cpu, and when I got it into socket and pulled that lever, it sounded like all pins broke, I almost passed away lol

@EagleEye428 maybe this is his little secret life pretending to be poor with his shitty ide drives

If I had an x6 that would have torn out like that i would have died on the spot..

I replaced my air cooler yesterday. I took the processor (AMD Phenom 9850 BE) off and when i put it back on, i bent 4-10 prongs. I was in panic but got them bent back.
