it would be a lot more easy to break with a good cascade.
Iv been using my spare time to work on my Prometeia for the past few weeks, There was a leak in the stainless steal corrugated Flex Tubing (SSCFT) so i had to cut the flex hose short and re braze the tubing. im going to recharge the unit with R404 later this week.

nice, what is the results?
QX6700ES 4.4Ghz CPU Voltage cap @ 1.6VcoreQuote:

all three capped out due to voltage, At the event we had to remove our full mod because the board would no longer post. after removing the mods it worked great but we could not get the voltage required.
631ES 4.815Ghz
631 Retail 4.815Ghz
Both capped out at 4.8 under Stock, Water, Dry ice, and LN2 Cooling.
the chips could hold 4.8 w/ 1.4vcore on DI and LN2 but would not go 1MHZ higher even with 1.7Vcore. we believe the silicon had hit its wall.
great results with C2D, but poor result with 631's.... i think its the mobo that hold your 631...
thats what we thought at first but the 631 was hitting a dead wall at 321MHZ FSB! we used the same board w/ 3 diff procs and hit 540MHZ FSB...Quote:

are these results final?
4.8GHz 1.4v !?Quote:

what is the other (Alu) pot that you are using?
still average results for LN2 ... looking to get more :D
reaching 8ghz is harder than what you tought ??? :stick:
:D :D :D
Never thought it would be easy. We knew what we were getting into way before we started, but hell thats why we love working on this project its about the challenge more than anything else! that or having a really fast computer ")Quote:

Better potdesign ;).
nice results good luck :)
The Phase cooling unit is nearing completion, I'm waiting on a 25micron vacuum test at the moment, I will beguin recharging the refrigerant on Thursday. once we get the phase unit ready for use we will make a lot more progress on our project :)
here are some pix.
enjoy

Great results so far keep pushin it :)
got a celly 331 to 5GHZ last night on watercooling, cant wait to use the Phase,DI,than LN2 :) WR looking achievable
we had the WR for the 331 this morning but i just saw a post about the 6GHZ 331 on DI, i guess we have the 331 WR for water woot!
is it a cascade? because if it reaches lower then -130 your board will freeze
Its a single stage for now but i am working on an auto cascade i hope to have done in 2 months and hold temps around -150c under load.Quote:

I'm sorry, but that ain't gonna happen unless you're using a 5+HP compressor...;)Quote:

The single stage i am building right will not be involved with the cascade.
Ummm....No offense, but maybe you should do a bit more reading before you decide to build your "AutoCascade".....AKA "Standard Cascade".....an autocascade is a SINGLE COMPRESSOR phase change system with 2 or more stages.....and how would I know anything about autocascades? Cuz I own the mother of all autos.....http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=97265 :cool:Quote:

Ill defiantly be reading up on alternative sources from now on and taking a look at what you have done. hell iv always been taught no never say "phase change" in reference to a mechanical refrigeration cycle...
Iv actually seen some of the "autocascade" systems Micron uses in Boise Idaho and they are Multi Stage Multi Compressor systems referred to as "autocascades" by the HVAC Refrigeration specialists that maintain them.
All credit goes to Cryo-tek....the mastermind behind my unit's current performance.Quote:

What you're describing could possibly be an autocascade only it uses multiple - more than likely just a pair - of compressors in series. They're most commonly used as water vapor cryo-traps in vacuum chambers. Cryo-tek builds such units for a living. His autocascades are powered by 2 5hp Copeland scrolls in series and have an approximate capacity of 3500W @ -160C....
I was told that they are used to test components for space applications. Damn thats a killer cascade.... lol he just happens to use the only compressor i have yet to see :)Quote:
