The New Anaconda Kingdom AKA My 3 Stage Cascade!

[LardArse]

My New benching palace:

http://resources.vr-zone.com.sg/Shamino/3cascades/1.jpg

See that the high stages are all located one side now, at the window, to throw the condensing heat outside, finally, no more sauna room!!


Right here, you see the Anaconda nest... 4 Heat Exchangers....

http://resources.vr-zone.com.sg/Shamino/3cascades/2.jpg

1 is home-made winding pipe in pipe, almost 7m, its supa ghetto, Polyurethane foam is banned here now, so back to Armaflex insulation! This is for CPU first stage, which connects to CPU middle stage Heatexchanger right below. On top you see a fanless condensor, thats the de super heater for CPU middle stage, good to have, cos a lot of R1150 needs to be condensed!!


The 3 evap cooling heads right here... benching section.

My CPU evap gets a major upgrade, much thanks to my friend Xu Gang and Susie from China!! He made me this awesome evap head!!

Its way too massive, i even trimmed some fins off to use aq smaller outer cap. But to cool it by itself is a huge heat load... but once cold, it stays there for frkn long...


Here are the 3 low stages for CPU and gpu1 and 2, with oil seperators right beside:

The 3 High staqes and 1 Middle stage for cpu area... 4 x rotaries 1HP each!!

Of course oil seperator for middle stage as well!

Much much thanks to my friends for building me such a beautiful Control Panel!!! So good to have all switche controls over here!!

GPUs Cascades is usual R22 stage 1 and R1150 Stage 2

CPU Cascade:

1st stage: R22 + dash of R290 - 1.3m of 0.31" cap tube , yes had to rim so short, the heat load on 1st stage is immense, trying to condense so much R1150 on middle stage, and R1150 of 3rd stage and then also CPU heat load.
Under fulll load running, -26C or so.

2nd stage: R1150 + dash of R290 - 1.65m of 0.31" cap tube.... Under load, it's about -80C to -85C...

3rd stage: R1150 - 1m of 0.47" connected to 0.5m 0.31" to evap head :D low hi side preesure with -80C condensing temps, so short cap tube for good enough flow!! With ~ -80C condensing temps, this is the length you want to maintain good flow for kentsfield loads with R1150!


The evap is so huge, cooling it down itself is huge load, so i need to wait till its cold before turning on PC, if not middle stage will be overloaded with heat load of cooling evap and pc all at one go. overload is no good, hi side pressure of 3rd stage rises rapidly due to rising condensing temp, flow gets too fast for short cap tube and liquid slugs the comrpessor. just an issue if cold bugged cpu.

i had the probe placed at evap exit which is bad side to monitor... evap exit is more liek ur usual suction line close to compressor due to evap size. but cpu evap base is around -107c to -110c load or idle, as evap is so huge. suction preesurfe is vaccumm under load, like 5 to 7hg good stuff,,,, R14 wil be nice to switch to now :D

[piotres]

That is the most ghetto build I've ever seen :devil: .

Devil's jungle :D .

[Athens[2004]]

Holy hardware boxes.

[kayl]

it looks getto,but its a work of art, i think its safe to say you have the most cascade units in one room benching :up:
good to have you back here as well shamino
do you think you will be changing the 3rd stage from 1150 to r14 anytime soon. What sort of speeds can you run quad core at on that beast?

[DEVIL K-ce]

:shocked:

Ye getto, but power full. Huh Anaconda :up:

When we see some scores using this mini :rofl: cooling setup ?


Martin

[Brettbeck]

WOW! And I thought your last cascade was ghetto :eek: !

I think that purple bottle behind your cascade is Ethylene isn't it? I would really reccomend getting a decent regulator for it! And make sure the bottle is securely fastened to something so it can't fall over.

I assume the compressors must be quite small which is one of the reasons you are using such short captube lengths?

[andre X_X]

HOLY LORD..... :shocked:

what a beast sham.... now show us some numbers :D

[GoriLLakoS]

Photos are not working for me.. :(

[bazx]

its great to see your work again shamino:)

and that new work shop is great you must have lots of room to sleep now:D

that evap looks very interesting have you got any numbers for it yet

also are they plate hx

or home made

thanks baz

[Dimas]

Hei Peter...don't listen the guys talking about Ghetto:D...that is pure ART;)

[dinos22]

i love that evap :D

always wondered what watercooling blocks would be like with really tall copper fins like that but much finer cuts...(IF POSSIBLE)

:clap:

[runmc]

Awesome Snake Garden Lardy - I love your bench room. :up:

[Pansuu]

Insane :shock2:

Ghetto is nothing to compare...im out of words :D

[n00b 0f l337]

Out of words Pansuu? How about...

Whooaaaaaa O.O
Dayum.

[ryba]

What temps you have @ load on cpu evap?

[Unseen]

OMG!! Nice numbers :)

Ps.somebody tell wdrzal not to look this thread. He will have a heart attack...

[^don.k's^]

What temps you have @ load on cpu evap?

He said it at the end of the post, -105c aprox.

What so huge work, it must need over 5KW from the electrical red, your gonna cause continuous problems there:rofl:

It's a "nice" and powerful system indeed, will you build them in series ? lol

Regards! :toast:

[krullet]

damit this really is an anaconda jungle, really nice evapp to..

[MaSell]

You must have got good headphones :lol: . I guess this anaconda is "quite" noise ;)

[Pete]

Mental, i was hoping it was going to be colder as well.

[4Qman]

:shocked:

I have heard many things about the great shamino. Seeing this supports the stories. :yepp:

Jaw dropping mate, a true benchers paradise.

All that hardware must think they have arrived in HELL and you are the Devil himself :devil:

[Okda]

HUGE

[twec]

Dude, that's very impressive! :up:

[Duniek]

:eek: :eek: :eek: very compact machine

[Magnj]

that looks scary....are you sure it's not alive and plotting to take over your house?

[LardArse]

ah correction, the evap mass is not an issue, was liquid sluggin, I cannot turn the 3rd stage off and on in hust a while when evap is flooded full of cold liquid which doesn't boil off , it just rushes back even with inverted strainer

Faced one oil freeze on mid stage today... think my 2nd stage HX is full of oil in the evaporating side as it was recycled from a previous 2 stager.

[LardArse]

Very bad way to do it, I've got no regulator, split-second open close to fill to empty "expansion buffer tank". No way it should be done.

I usually play safe when handling heat loads, i like to over estimate.

[LardArse]

its great to see your work again shamino:)

thanks baz

well i dont have a comparision but since I measure temp at evap exit, so when temp rise, like I do a voltage up and mhz up, so heat increase, it won't show till aq while later due to the mass.

3 are actually suction hx big ones, fins inside, evap wrapped in shell outside. One's just pipe in pipe. Was gonna order a plate from Dimas, but just couldn't wait to put it up so had a good sweat pushing 1/4" thru 1/2" :D

[LardArse]

i would wanna for sure if but i could just get a dash of r14 :D
Well just running 4.5GHz Kentsfield cpu tests looping to charge and check heat load takes on all 3 stages

Just a few more pics:

No table yet, so test run like that :D

Dude you've got WAY too much time on your hands.





Wish I had that much time.

Wish I had that much time.

Maybe he doesn't sleep. :)

I mean i wouldn't if i had that much cooling power in my room. :p:

Nice pics dude, good to see how the most extreme clockers play.:up:

[FUGGER]

Thanks for sharing, quite a lot of plumbing going on.

That is a three head correct?

[n00b 0f l337]

From the looks I think its just a few cascades of every type, nothing dual head unless I'm looking wrong.

[CometMan]

that looks like more like 1 nest of anacondas, great work!!! great temps

[Ad Rock]

Dude you've got WAY too much time on your hands.





Wish I had that much time.

Or maybe his priorities are just different from yours. If you want to be one of the best OC'ers in the world you have to be 100% devoted to your craft.

Your set-up is just sick Shamino, you give me something to aspire too :D.

[Duh]

I think the guy is quite skillfull and handy apart from using lots of time to achieve the results he gets..

very nice Shamino

keep it comin' :D

[Ssilencer]

Dude you've got WAY too much time on your hands.





Wish I had that much time.

No, he is just Shamino, one of the last living legends :fact: :clap: :D
Impressive work
Impressive benchplace
And sure impressive clocks and Wr's to come.

[LardArse]

yea Fugger 3 headed snake :D

Thanks thanks, I moved everything last wednesday, been sleeping very little just setting up everything

[teyber]

that is insane my friend! is that a dell 24 inch monitor?

[VictorWang]

oh my god... that's a huge monster.
but the evap, quite fimiliar, like my first water block @.@

[dinos22]

i've got to post again here :ROTF:


this is so ghetto Tupac's gonna jump out any second now :D

[Moc]

omfg. most ugly cascade ever, my opinion. But should performe good :) .

[rithina]

omfg. most ugly cascade ever!

keep this kind of comment to yourself :mad:

edited: maybe i was too hush with my earlier words. I think it an open discussion for all to comment. sorry dude

[Solarfall]

what a ghetto looking unit/s surely the largest concentration of phase changing gear in one room i have ever seen. the name anaconda is very fitting .. that's a work of art, and i'm sure a labor of love..

[tiborrr]

Speechless... 8O

[expansionvalve]

Am I the only one that's not impressed :confused:

They say if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all so I guess I will end my post early because the rest of my thoughts are rather negative :D

[potkit]

why people cant say its ugly?, for most people it is. for me its beatiful i really dont like fancy cases i prefer shamino's style.
congrats for your new baby shamino i hope you can afford the electricity bill jeje xD

[n00b 0f l337]

Well looks dont really benefit performance. And the performance he has is quite awesome.

[Kinc]

Haha.. totally love your benching area and that monster of a cascade! Awsome!

[gkiing]

LardArse you are the original phase change master.. 3 stage kicks ass

[LardArse]

Heheh no worries, its fugly ghetto and all that no denying :D I just wanted to up it as fast as I could. All I want from it is good temps to bench with.

[Okda]

can't imagine such a monster can look any better :)

[teflonman2]

Aaaaahhhhh ! that thing just totally scared this noob !

I would be divorced in a second if my wife came home to that in my computer room !
I tip my hat to anyone willing to build a contraption that complex looking for the sake of computing !

Teflonman

[crotale]

You're really amazing Shamino! Incredible machine! :D

I've heard expansion valves are supposed to be good for high stages ;)

[Misko]

this is so sick, it isn't funny anymore :D, awesome work Shamino
