GPU Cooling... (56k beware)

[Jeff]

Here's a thread for all competitors to share pictures of their Xabre200 cooling systems... ;)

Hasn't really helped me much, but I think I'm ready for whenever we figure out a GPU volt mod. ;)

Vgpu mod figured by Holst... too bad my mobo and/or cpu died. :( I also have a Swiftech MCW50-T waiting to see some action. :devil:

Nice GPU block you have there! What brand is it? Didn't you gain any mhz?

[Jeff]

It's a D-TEK northbridge block...

Glad I saw it laying there because it fits this card and my 9500np. :)

And I gained 10-15MHz on the GPU overclock.

There is also an additional sink on the mosfet on the back....this gets hot !

What kind of mounting does it have? Does it use 4 holes or 2 diagonal holes?

baker18

[NoStra]

2 holes.... you can fit a Radeon or GF2 cooler on it.

[baker18]

Received my card today. It fits a 9800/9800xt gpu evap. Time for some super cooling.

baker.. im scared...

[Master_G]

Fear baker18's cooling :eek:

How are you gonna insulate that block baker18, it looks like its running very close to some caps there. Can you still use insulation like runmc does in this thread (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22957) cos i wuld hav thort that the caps so close wuld hav made it very difficult to insulate against the type of temps u run?

V.nice evap block though:thumbsup:

Im going to insulate it like bowman did his evaps. Spray it with foam then cut it to shape. My gpu evaps mounts from the back of the card. The bottom plate has holes that are treaded for 4x40 screws.

This is actually runmc's gpu block.

Don't be.. I may not have time to bench at all. Too busy at work and too many projects going on at the same time.

Looks like your in Los Angeles. What kind of cooling are you using? Im in the Valencia area.

That pic was taken a long time ago when my case was a mess... Wait, it still is a mess. :mad:

[Jeff]

That's pretty nice Fever but this is for the Xabre200 competition. The pictures should of the cooling people are using for their Xabre200 video cards. ;)

[Jeff]

Swiftech MCW50-T has arrived... now all I need is my new motherboard(and some luck that my CPU is still ok) and I'll be cookin'!!! :devil: (and hopefully not fryin'... again. ;))

[afireinside]

If my NF7-S didnt die and I actually entered I'd be having some fun with dry ice fir the first time :upset:

[luihed]

Got my card today and im pissed to see all these caps around the gpu, my waterblock wont fit:mad: ..... I guess I can resolder the caps at to the back of the card but I think Im just gonna aircool it....... All air with intel for me...... btw how are the people with P4 3.0 aircooled gonna compete:confused:.......... how bout raising that category to 3.0 since almost all p4c will reach 3.0 no prob..... anyways here's what my card looks like so far.....

[Techmasta]

You might want to take a can of comressed air to that heatsink. Looks pretty dusty. Is that a socket A cooler?

[luihed]

lol yeah its pretty dirty, it was worst before....... Its actually a hsf for axp......

[Vlad Draculea]

i plan on cooling it by farting on the chip, sorry i have to remove the pics as a waterchiller might be considered offensive spam, once i have farted on the card i will post suitable pics.

[Holst]

Looking good vlad...

Have you tried running it yet... what sort of temps can you acheive... and what are you putting in it, glycol or alchahol?

[Vlad Draculea]

i put diaoreha on it, didnt try it yet, hope it doesn smell to bad.

[Vlad Draculea]

i loaded some low quality laxative agents, looking good.

[YoupY]

I've been busy today:

Results weren't as high as I expected them te be. Had problems hitting even 9k5. Just came 200 points short :(

Had also a few problems with condensation, but -76 at the evap was nice :P :)
