|Slappa's Slushbox|

http://slappa.ln2cooling.com/Slushbox/1090T2.png


Long story short. Today I got pretty bored. I've been wanting to put my 1090T under dry ice for quite some time now. However, my benchpartner has been busy with work so I could not obtain the dry ice pot.

So I was thinking of ways I could cool down my processor, in order to play around with my new 6 core. Since I own a Corsair H50 AIO Watercooling kit, I decided to have some fun.

I hung the radiator in an old lunch cooler and filled it to the brim with ice. I also threw a bit of water in for more cooling surface area. I figured this could get my processor 5°C or below. I was right. Yes, the slushbox idea is not a brand new innovative one, but I wanted to try my chip under something else then regular cooling for now.

So I pushed my processor to frequencies I only previously thought could be attained on dry ice (at least with my deneb's). It seems these new Thuban chips pack quite the punch when it comes to running up the frequency.

Anyways. Enough with the chit chat. I threw together another youtube short just like the good old days when I played with my denebs. So here you are:

Here are all the screenshot results and validations:

UPDATE: Session Three - Temperature Tuning 0-1C Idles

4.806GHz All 6 Cores @ 1.648Vcore, 1C idle - Valid

4.902GHz Core #1 @ 1.648Vcore, 1C idle

UPDATE: Low Volt Overclocking
I wanted to see how far this thing would go without using insanely high volts.

UPDATE: Session Two - More Tuning

Single Core Tuning - Max Frequency (Core #1, My Best Core) = 4844MHz

Original Run - First Session

4250MHz Prime 95 Stable 1 Hour
http://slappa.ln2cooling.com/Slushbox/1hour4250.png

I wanted to see how the slushbox worked under a real stress and if the chip would stay stable. The slushbox doesn't deal with loads too well, but is still kept below 32C at all times. I believe if I had a good enough water setup, I could attain this stable speed no problem without any slushbox at all.

SuperPi 1m @ 4662MHz

SuperPi 32m @ 4500MHz
http://slappa.ln2cooling.com/Slushbox/32m15min.png

I could have sped up the ram a bit on this one, but I got lazy and left it as is. With some more tuning I believe I could get closer to 15 min flat.

In the video I attained a speed of 4.75GHz, however it was not stable for validation nor screenshot. It was only a taken as a video clip. The cpu did not last very long at 4.75GHz and crashed soon after.

Thread updated. Youtube video up.

nice work slappa :) how long did the bucket of ice last? you have to keep putting more in?

Yea man its a good easy way to cool the cpu:up: and cheap too 5 bags of ice can last 2-3.5 hours, cost $10

heres some of my results......You should be able to run 3D a bit higher if you like running 3dm06 and other things like that.

Well I didn't really actually check how long each lasted, but I was replacing ice pretty fast. When I was running Prime95 I had to replace it almost every half hour. Other benching I imagine it was around 45 min-1hr

Thanks crazy ! :)

Yeah I'll see what I can do. I still have a bag of ice plus I froze a bunch of blocks last night so I have enough for another session. If I run out I can always buy ice down the street like a minute away.

I wanna push up my CB, and Ill try vantage.

titan, go at 4900 MHz validation, think, its possible, if u can run Cinebench at 4500 MHz...

running some 3d right now.

I couldnt complete a run anything over 4427MHz in CB. I tried every increment down from 4500MHz @ 1.6Vcore. 4427MHz it finally completed.

So this is what I ran for vantage.

Good to see you back in the game Slappa. Nice cooling solution. :up:

Awesome results Slappa! :D

Thanks man! Its communities like these that make me with i never would have stopped overclocking in the first place. I'm back for good.

what did you have the NB volts set to?? you might need a bit extra on the NB at those higher cpu clocks:yepp:

i tested all cores, very strange are core 0,3,5 and others are a bit whorse

Updated. Added 3d results and improved on some other results

Nice results Slappa, we can see Thuban's overclocking improved...

Hey if you want I can remove the links and pics I posted up in my post, dont want to shift focus off your results.....let me know.

Sorry about that I wasnt thinking:shakes:

Its been a constant improvement with every new silicon node. C3 brought huge changes, and now the changes to thuban have turned them into excellent overclockers.

Hahaha it doesnt matter man! Dont worry about it

maybe 1095T will new revision?

Heard from someone that 1095T has the same default clock as 1090T but has higher turbo clock,
If 1095T really comes out, will turbo to ~3.8GHz? That means AMD has improved Thuban's overclocking ability. After that, 4-4.2GHz would be easy... :D

guessing 500mhz turbo instead of 400mhz, the 1090 will probably go eol as soon as 1095 is out

The AMD section of XtremeSystems.org is like an ice cream cone that never ends...

no, its simple, look at turbo 1035/1045t/1055t - + 500MHz and 1090T +400 MHz. So, turbo 500MHz, but maybe to new revision chip?

More than likely just binned a little better FlanK3r...
But we can still hope! ;)

The way AMD has been going with the last few releases, I get the feeling BD is going to be the new Athlon X2, and will shake Intels tree... :up:

Hey guyss,

more results in from my slushbox. I also added these to the first post

I was actually fooling around with my setup today, threw some salt in the slushbox, and actually got below 0. -1C, -2C temps.

I didnt film it in the video but for that session I definitely hit 0C idle
