hey guy just wondering of any one knew or knew where i could find the proper low side pressure using r404 in a prommie under load. I think I need to add a tad bit more refridgerant because under load at 2.3 volts the evap temps drop drasticly and keep rising. yet under load on stock voltage I get may a 1-2 c rise in temps. If I remember correctly we saw about 0 on the low side before.
Thanks in advance

0" was the low side pressure that I used too. I also have the same probs with holding the temp at really high heat loads.
Dont know what the best value really is :(

he is refering to the high and low pressure reading of the compressor.
-10 means the low side (suction side) of the compresser is pulling 10 psi of vacuum.so it would say 10in hg.

well i am at work so i am only guessing.but -10 or 10 inches of vacuum with r404a should give evaperator temps of below -55c now that is the temp the freon is evaperating at...not the cpu or block temp
