super SUBZERO Aircooling THREAD

[Malk4vi4n]

That's a topic I wait the whole year for to be revived again!
Some nice stuff and some major ghetto mod!

[GiaXi]

hi everybody...this is my first post...but not my first OC I love ari cooling at low temperature.... this is my last winter OC of d945 on my balcony at 2°....very very beatiful sensation...this is the rig

Looking at weatherchannel.com it looks like we should have some good results v.2007 coming soon

[flesheatinvirus]

I love this time of year also. Great Getto window rigs are born yet again.

Temperatures are going to to falling into low 30's high 20's this winter in the bay area

I have no intention to overclock outside this winter. Just wanted to share this nice pic of thermometer. Lowest temp was -37 celsius (night)

-25 C

WTF! LADA???

[moonsond]

of course nothing of "superb" or "extreme", i just wanted to share it.
Although it was pretty warm outside (+8 when i did benching) today, i decided finally to put the rig near the open window and to look for what good it will give me.
Boxed cooler managed to maintain my presscot's hot behavior very well :o

it wasn't the limit, i reached even 200 fsb(4600), but it BSODed then in a few secs. 1M could be run on up to 4450+ mhz.
Voltage is set to 1.7, mobo's maximum. If sensors on it are correct, it's actually 1.62v or about that... i should do a Vdroop at last.
Ain't too bad for a boxed cooler coupled with one of the hottest intel's cores ever made, isn't it?

WTF! LADA???

where? in the center of the photo? it's a BMW i guess

damn thats serious stuff there.. dont you worry about condensation messing up your hardware or its too cold on top to even worry about that?



ps i dit a couple of runs with my opty last week at around -20celsius and the temps wont go bellow 18c under load.. crappy heatsinkfan + the fact that the heatpipe dont work properly under cold..

[moonsond]

amn thats serious stuff there.. dont you worry about condensation messing up your hardware or its too cold on top to even worry about that?

i guess that this box was made to keep all temperatures of components located within it far below zero. For to condensation not to be a problem at all

[krampak]

Here it goes some subzero aircooling bench (about -4ºC):





(bios didn't read under 30ºC I don't know why. Actually it was 12ºC using core temp at 4Ghz 1.26V and mobo temp was 3ºC).

[lowfat]

I haven't done a sub-zero aircooling bench in a long time Maybe I'll try it again this year.

Dear Members,

Can you expane what is ''super SUBZERO Aircooling''....

what is differt with general AIR Cooling?

when system is OUT-OFF-CASE? am i right?

[RPGWiZaRD]

The thread is mainly about overclocking in environments where ambient temp is below 0C.

Was about -10C here yesterday but I don't dare to try or I'm too lazy (+ my balcony is so ing small it's just a pain in the ass).

[v1pwred]

Well today it was like -12c in N. VA. here are some pics and my 3dmark06 benchmark...

I hate the cold, so I used and air purifier and just put it outside my window with the drier vent inside, comp stayed nice and cold, and really didnt get very cold in my room. Nice alternative to water cooling for the time being, but you sure cant beat the looks of a nice setup...Hopefully coming soon!

[zakelwe]

Nice work from Krampak and v1pwred ..

Got a little bored the other night so I cracked open a window. Nothing special, sorry about the coretemp frequency, I forgot to hit refresh.

Hmm there was a fortnight here with really low temps about a month ago (about -15c average, went to -27c once at night though..) but I guess it was too cold for me :o) Last year the temperature didn't go below 10c, now -30c... nice ^^ Screw the global warming ^^

[Nelson92]

damn its like never sub zero in Australia, maybe once or twice during winter at 3am in the morning. Gotta wait 4-5momths till winter

[Kolapso]

Nice work v1pwred!

LMFAO


those bananas just made my day

Well, I've been reading these forums for a long time but heres my first post.

Here's my q6600 4.0@1.69v on 680i LT SLI board with 680i p30 BIOS (for more volts) ThermalRight Ultra 120 Extreme.

Kevin

[Yeknom]

Wow, your feeding that Q6600 a lot of volts to get that 4.0 lol

[imapwnu]

Well, I've been reading these forums for a long time but heres my first post.

I'm not sure if I did this picture right, but here's my q6600 4.0@1.69v on 680i LT SLI board with 680i p30 BIOS (for more volts) TRUE-120 cooling.

Kevin

OK

I was dailying my Q6600 at 4.0 1.75 set for a few months now. and that was on a water setup idling 60C loading 85C, and that was a huge insane loop not any sort of CPU optimized isolated loop with a big heat dump from nearly every component (CPU, 2 G80s, NB, SB, 2 HDD). it was overnight prime95 stable

I'd expect way more than 4.0ghz for -120C cooling

Do you phase daily or something? If so id run at least 4.5 or so it can take it

[kcaverly]

Not true -120 C

ThermalRight Ultra Extreme heatsink with a 120mm Fan. The processor temp is actually about 35C under load.

I notice your using the XFX p31 BIOS, do you find its better? If so why?

Right now I'm use the EVGA p30 BIOS and it doesnt seem as stable as my old BIOS, but gives me more volts for a run like that.

Edit: The XFX p31 BIOS has FSB holes in bad places for me. I see you're clocked @ 3.6, and that was the highest I could go on the XFX BIOS unless I jumped right up to 4.0, The eVGA BIOS let me tweak it in that area but was garbage for any mhz at all over 4.
