Swiftech Apogee GTZ
Swiftech MCP655
Swiftech MCR320
DangerDan G1/4 1/2" barbs
Micro-micro res
10 clamps
EK 4870 waterblock
FeserOne UV black Fluid

USD$220 plus my Geil DDR3 sticks :D Shame its gonna be three weeks for delivery though :(

Hey TheGang - what voltage do you run your NB at? Mine peaks at 66C when I pump 1.6v into it and ramp the fsb up to something like 416-423.

At 400x8 with 1.5v it idles at 48 peaks maybe 53C which matches your run which is the same fsb 400x8.

WATER WATER WATER WATER WATER WATER WATER!!!

Your watercooling choice and setup, both are good ideas bro ;) But CPU, NB and GPU should probably generate high water temps under OC conditions, be careful please... And yeah, water water water lol!

I run up to 1.78V on NB cuz have a 18°C watercooling there. But i dunno air temps yet...
345*9FSB>1.28V//500*10FSB>1.54V//570*7.5FSB>1.73V//575*7FSB>1.77V//585*7FSB>1.78V

:eek: whats your ambient and case temp man?

Tec was my first chiller experience :) GPUs are stock but looking for a good wb...

make sure you dont get any condensation on the board with the AC right next to it. :D

what radiator are you using?
is the MCR a radiator? ^^

Sure, thanks! So i don't let water temp below 18/20°C under load.

That black "NB LN2 Pot" is a crazy idea, sucks. But it works very good as a NB water cooling block, helps lowering whole system temps...

Cooling BlackOps: Air & Water

this is my current setup

in the second picture the fan on the nb is roughly at 15degrees, it is very hard to make out in the picture

this was suggested by saaya and appears to keep the nb temperatures down

this only a temporary measure as i intend to go watercooling on the nb and cpu when i decide what watercooling kit to go for

Airflow, good idea :)

hmmm really?
what exactly is the problem when using it for ln2?
shamino did it a few times and said it worked well, as long as you insulate the board properly (since the nb doesnt produce that much heat its easy to freeze half the board by pouring too much ln2 onto the nb :D)

im open for suggestions and will forward any feedback to improve the next cooling version, so let me know if you dont like something and tell me wy and how to make it better! :toast:

BlackOps' NB LN2 cooler is an innovative idea, that's clear. Thanks to the team... Actually works good as a water cooling unit, even more then other NB coolers and cools Mosfets and SB as well. Under LN2, sure we insuate board. But i wonder how could we insulate under the NB, Mosfet and SB section? A neoprene seal for NB and SB chips maybe, but inconvenient for passive air cooling. Dismounting whole cooler, isolating this area and mounting cooler again? That would be a crazy action. Is there any pics of shamino's LN2 work? Would be kinda guide for sum peepz there... ;)

Sorry for "Crazy", sounds not friendly lol...

There are some people with NB LN2 Pot issues:
Saaya, it would be great showing us a guide...

Well I can go with water cooling on that, will still have problems running my chiller with that also.

Anyway, full details of the MB can be found over on XS.

And over clocking it.

Was just playing around with it and setting up pots :)
