My first subzero/DryIce session. *56k warning*

Hi all,

after some years into "extreme overclocking" business, i finally decided to start some benching with serious temperatures! :D

I recieved 10kg of DryIce yesterday and started benching with my AMD system, bcs. i thought it would be a great start to see how all is acting under subzero. Well, as you guys all know, coldbug on AMD is very horrible, thats the reason why i have no screens, validations or something, just some pictures from the setup. :)

Ok, now i was a little pissed off and thought it is better to get started with a subzero friendlier system - Intel. ;)

First step was to mod the P5K, just Vmch, Vdroop and Vcore.

Let's start with some pictures of the setup:

I sticked in my old Celeron 331 first -

Validation was ~ equal to max. 1M, something killed my oc, but did not found out what it was.

After that i decided to bench my 6600ES B1, but found fsb wall at around 490MHz and stopped benching with it, bcs. i could not reach sub 11s 1M.. Already have 11.797 on water.

After a few hours of sleeping i sticked in the Celi again and tried to go for 1M WR with 331. A few hours before i benched with 52xxMHz now i stucked at 5030MHz.. :( But still got a nice time imho! Second place on hwbot. :)

Now all the DryIce was gone.. I t was really fun and i hope i will have some time soon, to make a session again! Maybe then with some LN2 and better CPUs! :toast:

Great start funkflix. :) Very clean mods. With your experience hitting big numbers will surely be no problem. Sucks about the FSB wall. :-/

Cellies sure are fun. :p:

Thx! :)

I hope the retail 6850 will be good to oc and have a high fsb wall, then i will get "some". :p:

Nice Piotres pot! Is it the newer one? I had the same bad luck with my amd system...which to be honest was kinda dead before I started DICE anyway! How is the P5k for subzero? I was thinking of getting one too!

Hi,

i had no problems with the board at all, but could not reached the limits of it anyway. I really like P35 for benching, it is faster then P965 and P5K is like the perfect board for some oc, especially if u do a few mods to it. ;) And yes, the Pot is the newer one, produced around one week ago.

What temps did you reach finally?

No insane results with the Pentium - but (really) a VERY, VERY nice and clean run for the first time, including the voltmods. Don't waste your time with DI... go for LN and show us some Conroe numbers ;). You've shown that you're able to do it. =) I made much more "insulation mistakes" the first time by trying to make it more than perfect.

Use nailpolish and try to improve the insulation around the socket (more layers of armaflex) - even with DI cooling you will have condensation if it's not totally airtight. But for sure enough for one run.

Best temperatures in bios i saw was -56°C with the Celi on 1,39V 4000MHz.

Thx! If i bench with some LN2 in the near future, i will do some better insulation on the board, including nailpolish. Had no condensation on my runs this time.

Greetings back from the south of germany. ;)

Nice job. I really liked the idea when you had the mobo in the cooler, cut a few more holes and mount some more fans, not sure if it would help a whole lot :shrug: . But nice job overall, haven't posted my pics from my first Dice run yet :confused:

Good 331 CPU :)

Я пока сильно не тестировал свой 331 но скоро примусь за него

Nice first run funkflix. I am sure it will get you hooked. Good wprime Nordling :D I picked one a up a few months ago only gave it a few minutes on dice. This was an unmodded EVGA 680i I will try in the next week or two to throw it under LN2 on my modded P5K. ;)

I next week shall continue "to play" with liquid nitrogen. If remains, I shall try it on 331:) And the result so is bad, owing to a glitch of memory which has soon died. :(
