Very impressive FUGGER! I like your graphics card!

What made you choose and expansion valve, why no capillary tube?

[All Kill3r]

very nice :)

[FUGGER]

The valve has much higher capacity at lower temps, I can adjust the valve on the fly for colder temps or higher capacity.

With a cap tube it is set and no changing it.

Dammit U are xtreme :rocker:

How do you adjust on the fly? This sounds interesting, would it work with a single stage system? Sounds like a good idea.

[masterofpuppets]

Nice, I only just noticed, your specs are pretty similar to mine (not the cascade of course), but like, you got the same RAM, processor (cept u have ES) and graphix. BTW, those pics are XTREME!

[FUGGER]

On the exposed block pic you can see the nut that turns. I can turn it by hand and inward will increase capacity and all the way out is max temp.

[LoudHoward]

Thats awesome! I reckon that I have found something much better than cap tube, what are the disadvantages?

[runmc]

Cool Fugger!!:thumbsup:

Thanks for showin us your get-up.:rocker:

Very nice system, but howcome 2 very similar systems with i think, the same valves have them in counter directions ??

[FUGGER]

That is the orientation my block requires, it looks backwards but its not. My valve could be installed backwards on accident if you were not paying attention to the direction of flow markings.

[SuperDude]

Nice avatar fugger. Why do you have tinfoil on your cats heat :P

[FUGGER]

catscan hat, it a joke from ebay.

He likes it, coolest cat ever. he is a rag doll and is great with kids.

Check out my excellent LS mounting I'm useing on my new PC ICE Cascade. The perfect mounting solution, dry as a bone:D

Awesome setups :banana:

I really wish I could have something like that but I cant afford a powerful gaming computer and a bench rig. Maybe I'll have some phasechange up here eventually :)

[runmc]

Cool OPP!!

You've got a very nice rig now!! Good work ICE..:rocker:

wow that mounting came out great.look's very nice too.:toast:

I had to do a little bit of modding the the LS kit foam, add another piece of foam from a second LS kit due to the fact the Baker is twice as tall as the Vapo block.
Other then that the bugger is tight, S478,S754,S940,S939 ready:D
The out side of the Cam Shell doesn't even get cold enough to sweat.
You can sit around at -80 all day and not see a drip of water:D

Yea this bugger runs great:) Can't wait to get a new FX-53 chip and do some 3D01.

Heh Fugger, I've always had the impression that you were one of us who has the mobo sprawled on a table kinda guy, guess I was wrong. Nice and spacious.
Opp, looks good, hows about a pic together with Chilly's Cascade? :) Is this Cascade by PC Ice R404/R1150? I see the K probe lines all over, just like mine :D

I went by PCIce's place last night and picked this bad boy up.
I have no clue what Refidgerants He used.
I ran the sucker for 8 hours straight today with no problems what so ever.

Fuggers valve is a parker a2 and Runmc's valve is a singer S2 both are identical in configuration but reversed flow in relation to the head. The parker can be set fron 5 inches of vacume to 60 psi the parker from 5 inches to90 psi they both are also .25 ton to 2 ton.

No, I havn't heard from CC in weeks. It was never my Cascade to begin with.

[zabomb4163]

is this your cascade or on loan?

[Shroomalistic]

that opp's personal cascade, no loan there.:D

that one deserves a :banana: :banana: :banana:

Some 3.2EE lovin.

OPP

[FUGGER]

nice vcore, thats about what I feed mine. ive seen 2.1v

[LardArse]

Is it a thing with the P4C800s and high Vcore? My 3.4EE on the IC7 optimal voltage is 1.9v. Higher it is not as stable. M0 stepping also.

:s I hope that you use this solely for reaching the max (stable/unstable) screenshot of your cpu. because 2.1V on a PIV :eek:

or do these newer PIV chips take this voltage for a long time?
(northwood sudden death syndrome always comes to mind, when I see a PIV with such a voltage.)

My highest 3D03 runs were at 4400Mhz with 1.9V.
I can do some 3D01 at 4440 or so with about 1.98V.

LardArse,
This week I'll buy me some Steel L-Bracket and make me a two story cage, I'll throw the Chilly1 GPU cooler on top. Have to conserver space in this little room of mine:D

My plan is to get PC Ice to take my GPU evap and put it on this new cascade. And then I'll try and get him to make a meaner CPU cascade with bigger compressors:D

pcice=south bay

south bay = area southern Los Angeles County, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Carson, torrance, etc. Nice area if you like the "big city"

Nice! Have not another words! Awesome! :slobber:

o lol :D

[HawainPanda]

wow...all those look so impressive...but how come none of u guys ever put ur cascades..in cases?...i dunno, a steel box or something...don't ur cascades freak out ur friends? :P jk hehe

[HawainPanda]

and personally...i think master of puppets has the cooles avatars :P

[blinky]

hahah

i thought south bay was like south bay area, like san jose

silly me

[deloreanz]

since i'm planning on building/tuning a phase change system, i'd love to check out ppl's rigs/setups and ask q's in person.
All the socal guys should get together for a lan party or just hang out and talk tech/whatever :toast: .
Or am i alone on this :confused: ; What'd you think? :stick:

or.. have it near the power plant :)

[deloreanz]

:D Oddly enough i do live very close to a power plant. I'd offer my house as the meet point, but i don't think ppl would want to drive down to San Clemente.
but seriously, how many ppl around LA area would be interested in an event?

(i have 4 compressors raren' to go :p: )

[afireinside]

The SCOC LAN 04 event sponsored by your ever friendly neightborhood electricity company!

If you could put on a Kangroo boxing match and make it entertaining might be able to get you a show date in Vegas>>> :D

maybe some of guys should try and box some those kangeroos :D lol.
