View Full Version : How to vary your temp?
So today i hit a coldbug on two seperate chips, which didnt make for a very eventful day.
Have people successfully been able to vary their temps with DICE (other than just full on -40C idle)?
If so how have you achieved this?
I was thinking just by running only a small amount of ice in a pool of acetone might do the trick for a particularly buggy chip, but i thought you guys would already have a good solution.

Type of container makes a diff, but I think you really need LN2 for variable temps....

Time to play with SP2004, ricky tweak, and high Vcores + clockgen to get around it or buy a new chip... :(
heh, one of the chips was a borrowed one (not mine) and the other was just my day to day 3200+ ;)
would be good however to come up with a good technique on this borrowed chip while i still have it.
Increasing vcore from say 1.4V to 1.7V only changed my bootup idle temps by about 5C
Ricky tweak might be a go-er, however however this Opteron was so bugged it wouldnt even run 9 x 275 (2475MHz) - even though it does 3040MHz 1M on water.
What about something like an intermediate plate?

Try the old soda can dice container...

If you're that eager to do so LN2 is the way to go. ;)

or like MM said.. no acetone
i could controll my temps with dice, not every degree but fair enough to try and seek for coldbug.

How?
trow in some dry ice and let i vaporize, then trow another and another in.
just let it go down slowly:)
i had temps of -10, -20, -30, -40
i have some pics of it but they are on my bench hdd and don't have a mobo atm :)
