Hey guys, I noticed some questions about acetone being used. I was always under the impression that this was best. An acetone/dry ice mixture, when stirred to combine forms a "slush" which is apparently 2nd to only something called trichloro-trifluoro-ethylene, or Freon TF. And since apparently you will not be able to get the TF anywhere, acetone should be #1. However note that the fumes still contain acetone, which now adds flamability to your list of dangers, although the cold should reduce your danger level. Here's an article that discusses some of the things I mentioned:

For the lazy: Use LN2, it's better in every way..
when we want to DIY the container...can we just get a copper block and some piping from home depot and weld it together? I'm just getting started so if this works, I plan to go from here
Thanks!
yes it's good start make sure the bottom copper block is realy plan so it has a god contact with the core and try to insulate the tube with neopren or armaflex like this for an example..Quote:

Nice job I made one last night and tested it with ice and water got 6deg c not to bad for about 10 min worth of work...tonight I am getting some dry ice given my freinds system a run with it. it has been at my house for over 2 mounths and mine is down so I need some fun right?
Dragon
cool then you get about -60c instead of +6c big difference and more fun good luck with your DI bench hope you do a good OC :toast:Quote:

jort he was just using normal ice and water to test the blocks conductivity like conrad did when he reviewed a Chilly1 DICE/LN2 container(i want one :D)
question: what about using dry ice on a chipset?
i was just wondering about that last bit, when you have to dismantle it all and put the cpu into the oven, do you have to do that with phase change cooling aswell?
why should you put in a oven... it can warm up aswell on youre table etc..
Yeah, you definetly need to give acetone more credit in your guide
It's pretty much the cheapest, best, and easily accessable partner to dry ice in the overclocking enviroment
You should also mention that the dry ice/acetone mix bubbles and raises quit a bit under load, not just "randomly does it"
Also, most conventional ovens dont go below -100, so a hair dryer tends to work better, I even made up a little oven turkey roasting pan, that has foam on the bottom, and just a hole for a hair dryer nozzle
Heats up just like an oven, saves alot of power and time though :)
very nice guide Gabbax , a lot of good info you put there, well done :toast:
I buy DI from my local baskin robbins.
Was interesting to read. Good job.
Here is my first dryice action in January
http://www.zone.ee/wrc2006/1/DryIce_...006_January6-7
All that I did was block the air getting to the motherboard and around the CPU and all went ok... Thats like the main thing... if u block the air reaching the mobo and cpu where the dryice is then all shall be fine. If there is a air spot where it can come into then its condensation :P shiznit, Opty had coldbug :P But Venice did not :)
Thanks for the tips
interesting guide
thanx ;)
this may come in handy for me really soon... great work!
Great guide!! I have the chance to play with DICE and I plan to in the next week!! Thanks a million for the great guide!!
excellent info, thanks man
for some reason the pics aint showing up on my comp. other then that good guide.
It is an old thread./ However, some good info, as im planning my first journey into the realms of Subzero benching, and i need as much info as i can get. Good guide, thanks;)
I too am planning the subzer0 jump soon...
RE up pics?
