Just wondering is it worth the coast? I have a 3200+ winnie @ 2.7GHz @ 1.55v would it be worth be getting a Vapochill unit? I can't seem to get the CPU stable at 2.8GHz with even 1.8v. How is it to setup easy or hard? And of course ho noisy is it? Cheers
If you have a winnie then a vapo may not be your best bet. As far as I know the cold bug with the winnie's hasn't yet been fixed.

I thought the bug was only in the earlier ones?
Nah, people still having issues getting them cold.

Yeah i heard the Venice it is fixed as someone of these fourms showed it, but yeah i see what you mean. Just saw some people with 3200/3000+ at 3GHz thought i might hopfully get that far. Oh well i am still waiting for Venice to come out.

PC ice got to -40 i think and it clock 3.5ghz with no sign of cold bug, not sure if he got it any colder though.

Opp tried Venice at -100c and it was a no go, so venice will be fine for the vapo / mach2 crowd, but defintaely not for the cascade people.

Oh well vinc is to me out in a months time from what i heard, my current 3200+ is a pain to remove, well not really every time i remove the water block the cpu is still attached even when it's locked in the socket. When i first got it, it did have bent pins which i had to correct whoever it is a pain to put back into the socket :(

WHen it's all finished up shortly I will make a thread on it, but until then here's an old thread without water or phase....I'll take some pics this weekend, I have a new 3500+ coming in that I hope is a failed fx-55 that should do at least 3ghz under the prommie. Watercooling still isn't done but I will take some new pics with the prommie for you.
Keep in mind I have blown by all those scores as they were all on stock cooling. I'm now @ low 29sec superpi, 11k 3dmark 05 and I haven't run 03 yet but expect 22-23k.
