Dragon F1

Looks nice! Not to much bling bling :D

looks nice, and apparently doesn't effect your ability to go back to #1 on the bot after a few hours :rofl:

Hey vince are your TR1 GTR's still alive and kicking or you just using them for a prop? Mine seem to freak out on ln2 on asus :/, seems its an asus issue they are fine on giga with ln2 and rock out in asus with any cooling besides ln2.

ROFL at supernova. LOL

Glad to see we have our 1st Alu F1? :D ?

now how's about some diamond / gold plating ?

Heh it needed a cool nickname.....didn't feel like biting DBZ and calling it super sayin. :p:

although this is kinda catchy.

"clown nuked by the sucka patrol" I almost peed myself.

does nickel plating affect pot's performance?
how about making one from silver? :D

i say yes and no :D.
no need to make it shine and bling like that, becaus there's gone be insulation over it :D.

if ur tube is brown it means u used it good ;).

I agree, however it feels nicer if you can start your bench with a proper pot :D

bit off aceton, cola (hate to throw it away :( ) and u have a clean container :D.

Interesting path Vince, sounds absolutely stellar about the hold up 2+ months

Futhermore when it comes to overclocking it comes down to the smallest, so coating it preventing dirt build up is a top nice idea

the SICK look is a sideway bonus , but as Vince says #1 is performance

Vince does this amazing new pot have a name yet:party3:

How pretty

:D

DRAGON F1 with nickel plate.....

Thanks Vince.......:up:

I think the pot itself its sexy enough :eek:

Thank you sir!
I received the box several days ago, I appreciate all the extra foam and materials you threw in!

I'm still gathering materials for first DICE run, will post updates and pictures in the next couple of days.


As a hardcore Tolkien fan.. I couldn't resist :D

"The Block of Isengard" :hrhr::devil:

Experimented a bit with multiple layers.. till this:

poured some 100% acetone, some DICE in and tested it on the shelf.

After I finished and stripped down everything to clean, the pot remained 'frozen' for over 40 minutes. incredible design & quality.

How much Alcohol do I need to pour in to make the cooling the most effective?
up to the level of the drills?
halfway?

So when you buy the Dragon the insulation is included?

Anyone here wanna sell me their OLD Dragon to get the NEW Nickel Plated one? :stick:

I'm looking for a used CPU Pot in the Wanted thread.

I know it's probably nothing (comparing to the hardcore oc'ers here), but here is my personal record:
http://i38.tinypic.com/2dv1s1t.png
CPU-Z Validator 3.1

:)

Will work on forward to reach 5.2
GREAT pot.

Is that on dice or ln2?

Either way, nice run!

That is on DICE :)

Not bad for a Core i7 920, you need to get yourself a w3570 to really push that pot and board though :p: Best to wait for Gulftown though, no sense buying obsolete chips.

Nice work and thank you so much for your kind words!!! :D
For better DI performance on the F1, try crushing all of your dry ice into "powdery snow" first by putting the pellets in abag and smashing with a hammer or something. Then, maybe about enough acetone to fill all the pits and keep the snow in the unit packed and "tamped" down and you will get your best performance. Sometimes, I used to even put a very heavy weight into the pot to put pressure down on the inside of the base on the DI/acetone snow/slush mixture and keeping airspace minimized in the mix.
