| The Results
Now I'm able to run the system at 850MHz without crashing. In
fact, I can even run at 875MHz without increasing the core voltage,
which I needed to when using Intel's cooler. I didn't
expect another 25MHz boost without increasing voltage.
I can't seem to get accurate temperature reading because the water cooler
doesn't give constant results. Unlike a heatsink and fan combo, the
water takes some time to heat up. The most important thing is the
stability it gives. For those who still want to look at the
somewhat inaccurate
temperature readings, check the table below.

My new system specs:
Intel Celeron 566 @ 850MHz using 1.7V
ABIT BX6-2
3dfx Voodoo3 3000 @ 205MHz
I swapped my Voodoo3 3000 with my friend's which was
more overclockable, the memory modules on the 'new' Voodoo3 being from
Hyundai. As such, I now have the highest 3DMark 2000 score
compared to others in the Online Result Browser with similar configurations.
Updated water cooling system
I added two fans on top of the water tank in hope of
cooling the water down. However, they did not help to cool the water
so they were placed there just for kicks. I have a baybus controlling the fan.
Instead of leaving two empty spot, I installed the fans to the
baybus.
