That's what I figured :) Nice looking rig, easy way to solve the condensation issues.
Everything worked first time; bench stable indefinitely, we ran over 5 hours.
Mineral oil is filled all the way up to the lexan top. Last second, we decided to use two PCI Express extenders to get the GPU on top; the problem was fit, would have prefered the heat of the GPU within the Mineral oil bath. Worked fine with the GPU above.
Quakecon attendies played the new Wolfenstein, Quake at 5.6GHz.
AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE | Good Stability @ 5.94 GHz | Guest overclocker The Nemesis who was kind enough to supply Everclear.
If we had to swap out processor or motherboard I would have cried.
Saturday - The Abomination tortured with LHe. More 965 runs.
Yeah I have heard about the event there from Aaron, you guys are having a blast !!
Thanks for posting the pic's Simon !
Nice work there :) hope you guys get some greeeeeeeeeeat scores
Finally we are back to basics!
Mineral oil as an insulator/coolant :up:
At first I looked and thought - why they using frying pan to host motherboard?
Great pics! Simon please bring some more of these and scores of course!
That looks awesome! Any particular reason for using a Gaygabite mobo?
damn that looks awesome
Sweet Job Aaron and Nemesis, you guys are rocking the house there LOL :up: :clap:

Oh, and they're cheap. ;)
zeus the asus is decent in certain tasks/situations but in certain .cfgs and under ln2 the devil itself is unleashed and even the best in the business have trouble making it work.Quote:

I don't have contacts at asus so I could not help out, I just made a contact however no clue if they can or are willing to fix certain bugs that show up cold as I am preety sure some of it is hardware related.....
Fwiw I have scanned the hardware on crosshair 2 and the problematic parts still exist and in the same exact locations...maybe they fixed them, maybe they didn't.
