Outstanding work kayl, this is a nice looking unit with some nice clocks you got going there on that 8500.
Well done again Mate.

Why not try a tad more efficienct kayl :)
Ya mean smaller compressors, the difference between a 0.75hp rotary and a 1.5hp is around $5-10US so i went for the bigger compressor. i think 1.75 or 2hp is a little big and when benching can trip the mains because im drawing too much current :yepp:Quote:

Kayl ,do You use 0.031' or 0.036' captube on second stage ?
I use 0.031", never really tried anything else. I used 2.6m on this one see how it goes.Quote:

Looks great Kayl, i am just wondering how did you connect the acummulator (now acting as a reciever) into the loop? Which port did you use (inlet or outlet)? Does it matter anyway?
In case of Fach 0.9L reciever, what's the best way to integrate it into the loop? Via cap tube to act as a expansion tank or as a liquid reciever (as shown here on cold_ice's cascade)? What would be the benefits of either system?
Thanks in advance, looking forward to hear some explanation.
Greets,
Niko
Thanxs niko, im using the suction accumulator as an expansion tank, Without the expansion tank i would have a static pressure of about 350psi :DQuote:

Im just waiting on the solinode valve to do the hot gas bypass to the cpu head. DO you like my terminals for the mains wiring, i have to get some more links and some boot lace crimps ;)

Thanks for the answer Kayl, will imitate this expansion tank idea on my upcoming mini build. Is there any rule-of-thumb on lenght of the cap tube connecting the expansion tank or the lenght doesn't matter much?
Terminals look great, will get them myself aswell!
Gotta love the temperatures on this cascade! :up: :yepp:
longer the captube, then longer the time to drain up/fill up exp tank, vice versa. if you plan on having lots of refrigerant inside (something like 350psi static charge), then use longer cap tube, something like 2mtr so that you can have soft compressor start, but then again when turning off compressor, it would take longer time to fill up the exp tank with longer captube, be careful on high static pressure here. 1-2 mtr is enough i think.
tiborrr as andre X_X said 1-2 mt is fine for the cap line length, anything that puts a restriction between the expansion tank to slow the gas as it enters/exits the expansion tank. I think i used around 1.5m 0.031"
Use 80cms 0,8mm cap tube to exp tank.
Place the exp tank higher than the compressor.
Thanks for advice guys, i'll repositionate it above the compressor shell.
Kayl, this cascade looks better every day. Ever though of building a three-stager with R14?

The second stage will run automatically with the thermostate set to start/shut-down at a set temperature. THe high pressure cutoff switch monitors the pressure, killing the power to the second stage compressor if the pressure gets too high. THen automatically resets when pressure is at a safe level and start cooling.

if ya want to go completely overkill you could sleeve that but nice job!!!
if its a secret no offense... but what is the "proper" name for those fancy electrical terminals?
cheers!
Ferrules.

Oops sorry I mis-read the question. :D
no probs, Just need to clean up on the final wiring, and insulate the rest of the system.Quote:

basically finished the tunning on the system now, Cascade did -98c at 312w and -101 with 270w.
time to put side covers on and get ready for a bench ;)
cold bug switch on drops down to around -96c.

Looking great Kayl, of all the builders i think you're the only one that always tests stuff on a real PC platform and show some results, not just on load testers! Superb! :up:
So this would mean about 50cm 0.7mm (TC-28) cap tube? Is it passable?Quote:

thanxs tiborrr, load tester cant really simulate a cpu, its good for ensuring a system can hold a certain load but some times you tune for too high load or not enough, only way to really know is with a cpu :DQuote:

Sorry if this has already been asked, but will current evaps need to be modified/replaced to become compatible with Nehalem? I think the 1366 chips are a tad bigger than the LGA sockets.
Nope, the core itself hasn't grown larger than the evaps so you are fine. Hell, current Chilly1 evaps don't cover the entire IHS on LGA775 ;)
It's not needed anyway. Current evap heads are really large enough for LGA1366 chips, although bigger the head, the more evaporating surface it usualy have ;p
Great work Kayl, once again! :up: :toast:
if it was water cooling ideally you would want a bigger evap, but for phase change its not such an issue.
It will be like going back to the old 50mm AMD cpus ;)
The look of your units always makes them stand out. I had no idea that even LN2 would allow for 1.95v core a 45nm! very impressive results.
Nice and low temp rise when loaded BTW
thanxs eligray. most vcore i ever run was 2.15v :D on ln2 QX9650Quote:

Looking very good mate. :)
Can you put one in a canoe and send it my way bro? Very nice work :D
Kayl , where exactly do you measure the evap temp ?????

from one side of aus to the other, Melbourne :up:Quote:

low side pressure would be around 10hg idle and a few hg load
with 310w load it was a few psi load
firstage was around 4psi low and not too sure high stage pressure, under 200psi i suspect.
i dont really take much notice of die temps as it changes from motherboard to motherboard and cpu to cpu.Quote:

also gigabyte mobos only read down to around -8x c and no lower, at load die temps stay the same, ie colder than -8x c
cant wait to see the 790 under the cold :up:Quote:

Adding more 1150 doesn't help the temperatures at all . Best temperature is held at 10-15hg pressure .Quote:

So far , best i've managed to get was -107c idle and -96c under 200w heat load (with heat cartridge) . Room temp about 25C .
Next days I'm getting a bigger heatload (about 320W) .
I'll make a new thread soon , cause i don't like to spam your thread . :)

Had a friend come around with his QX9650 which was really badly cold bugged at -92c. When it rebooted we had to wait till temps were below -50c before it would boot.

On right cascade, left is SS. I know my picture sucks but its cause I don't have a tri pod for my camera, hence I move it 1mm and the shot is ruined. Also the batteries are low, which normally means bad pictures in this camera. The SS in on a cabinet so I can wheel it around :p:
Of the flex line, i cant remember, big enough to fit 3/8" copper tube in the almost snug.Quote:

Still alot more work to do before the cascade is 100% finished, ill use it the way it is for now to get some load testing done. Then later do the electrical wiring correctly and install a gfroster controller to monitor the temps.

cascade is up and benching. Needs some tunning though not enough flow to the graphics card heads.
-98 for the cpu head and -40c for the gpu heads.
Not bad temps though for testing benching ;)

Wait do you mean -40C on ethylene?
That doesn't sound like you've got any flow that direction at all.
ya said it. i started off long, shortened tonight, 30cm off each line :DQuote:

lets see how it goes this time round :yepp:
Not having much luck, this 3 head cascade is turning out to be a pain in the but.
After changing the lines and putting it all together again the cpu head couldn't hold load and was falling into the positive temps with heavy load
the gpu heads one on a graphics card and the other on the load tester were holding around -85c after a vantage 3dmark bench.
i pulled it apart to check the capillary line feed to fine that one was a little longer than the other 2, this would expalin why it couldnt hold load on the cpu head.
good point for other builders to note, as it will starve that line of refrigerant.
Second stage pressures are getting quiet high though with system all loaded, first stage isnt holding the load too well. THe condenser is too small :down: and the case cant fit a bigger condenser :(
Looks like this cascade might have to be turned into a single head cascade

Do you mean the cascade above was your first or the first pc cascade ever?
What were your pressures with -85c gpu heads?
No no eligray, this long thread is a showcase of Kayls cascade(S)
Thanxs noob
Cant remember now last time i picked up the blow torch, but it felt really good to do it again, especially first build back being a cascade.
Heres a start to my final cascade...

Looking good my down under friend.
Thanks for flipping the photo's over ;)
no problems mate, this forum is where it all originated from ;)Quote:
