Getting the most out of the Prometeia.
Have mine up and running for about 3weeks now, been through all sorts of settings.
I increased the cooling slightly by adding extra washers to the screws, more spring tension, tighter contact with CPU surface equals lower temps, not much, but a couple of degrees C*. It took about three days for the temps to drop as the chiller head took a 'set' to the CPU. Doesn't really help with higher clockage, but it sure can make a difference with that last setting that works about 98% of the time, making it 100% stable.
Next phase will be to file a very small amount off each stand head, maybe only .25 mm, again, just barely enough to increase the chiller head pressure by allowing the tops of the stands to insert just a small bit further into the chiller holes when the screws are tightened down. This along with the extra washers are all that can be done mechanically.
Are there any other tweaks that will assist in getting the CPU temps down any further, such as adjustments to the chiller controls, especially the fans used for cooling the returned hot freon???
Just trying to get the most out of the setup. I have read the manual over and over again, and although it touches on all the control functions, I am still in the dark as to what to change, how much, which one.
I am particullary interested in increasing the fans speeds so the chiller head will knock down a few more degrees on a constant basis.
What I am trying to do is max the cooling so I can rest peacefully with a vcore of more than 1.95, a setting I have set as a limit right now for the clocking I am doing.
I can get more, but the temps shoot up a bit, cold boots cutout the first try (wait about 90 seconds, then refire, it works when that sequence is followed, but what about the summertime??).
So far, this has been the easiest major mod I have completed, they really have these systems well worked out, all I am trying to do is tweak it a bit more (clocker's mentality).
Any and all tips would be nice, I would then compile the information, possibily making a sticky out of it when all worked out, if the mods are so inclined.
I know these coolers can be tweaked, there is no way they are running 100%, a margin of saftey had to be built in.
Still, I think running @2.85 gig is pretty much a gas, and with a proper CPU, 3.0 gig everyday is right there, AMD wise.
Clock on.
baldy:p
check my other post a few threads higher
explains how to lower temps without changing any settings.
i was thinking of changin over to R404a, but i am now worried about compressor life span.
anyway, read my thread, it is quite interesting.
i am now able to actually bench @15x199, haven't tried the 200, it will run the 200, but any heavy benching will just kick out to the desktop, doing burnin again right now.
clock on.

sad to hear that.
But in all honesty, he seemed to me like a guy who took offense to anyone who thought differently than himself... which is maybe not the perfect attitude to manage a site
still, sad to hear
