does it get any more ghetto than this?

this is my first attempt @ making a "tube".

i was just doing some testing @ work today.... and then figured WTF lets make this one real.

i have parts on order from onlinemetals, so my next one shouldn't be quite so bad, i just used the parts i had on-hand.
(Base is 9.2mm thick and the bars/plates are 1/4")

Joe Camal, I give you the l337 away of the year.
:P

my theory of sticking welding rod (cut into 1/2" pieces) into a puddle of molten alu for base "pins" turned into a REAL desaster... so i did what i could :sick: :shrug:

the bottom might need lapped just a "few" times

yep, that is still the raw base.

although this is NOT the base of the above "tube", its an example of my lapping:

EDIT:

and here is the TUBE's base in its current "semi lapped" state:

not too bad for my very first V-mod and D-Ice cooled rig
(if i do say so myself)


.

Do your aopen let to use dyce without the tcore mod ?
Strange :S
Nice 2700 ;)

I have never used a fluke probe, but it seems that you have selected "type T" for the probe, and it seems to me that you are using a normal probe type K. I dont know if I am saying something without sense, because I dont have a fluke, but if I am right, it could be because of that you are getting some strange readings... ;)
BTW, nice tube and nice 2700 too...

.

Aopen can go below zero temps with the 1.3C BIOS

i think its @ LN2 or cascade temps where the 1.3C stops working and the T-core mod is needed.

ill look into the probe type, i did do an Ice-bath test and it was .4C too low :shrug:

no real results tonight since she's drying out (over night) due to a minor screw-up in insulation....

warming up and drying off... once you kill the power, the whole friggn card turns to water....
