My first Dry Ice Session

[Flow]

After large preperation, it was done: My first Dry Ice session! I made a lot of pics to show how I did my first session.


1. Purchase basket
1.1 DICE Tube
First of all: The DICE Tube, built by Stummerwinter from Germany.

The tube with screws and isolation:


Container from above


Here the structure:









1.2 Little things

Vaseline:


Something to see the temperature


Exactly for the container


Washing bottle


Silicon paste


Eye protector


I also ordered a cheaply graphic card, just for secure, that my 7800gtx remains alive


All together



1.3 There is Dry Ice!
Here are two pics, DICE coming to me.






2. Mainboard: ready to be launched!
2.1 Vmods

Vdroop & Vcore mod











2.2 Vaseline & Thermal compound



Vaseline around the base area


The vaseline spray again




You can't see any much, but here the result:


In the base:


Don't forget the thermal compound






3. DICE in action!
build up the tower on the Mainboard:












Let's begin!

Take off the Mainboard, just for secure






The dice inside the container


Temp goes down(37,4 Fahrenheit):


Alcohol in the tube


Nice effect!


Temp sinks(-4,0 Fahrenheit)...


and sinks(-23,8 Fahrenheit)...


sinks much more(-88,6 Fahrenheit)...


-75°C (-103 Fahrenheit) was the lowest temp I reached.


The view above


Turn on the cumputer *fear*


Yeah!! it works!!!



5. Result
After I tested 4 hours, I came to a result. Here my Config:

- Core2 Duo E6600 ES
- P5B Deluxe
- Corsair XMS2

The result watercooled:
Core2 Duo E6600 2,400ghz@3,942ghz / Vcore 1,6 / Fsb 438 / Timings: 4-4-4-15 / Watercooled / 13,000s


with Dice:
Core2 Duo E6600 2,400ghz@4,585ghz / Vcore 1,635 / Fsb 509,5 / Timings: 4-4-4-8 / DICE / 11,312s



600mhz more

Sorry for my bad english!

great I like treads with lot of pictures , put some more vcore to the CPU u will be pleased with boost u can go up to ~1.9V with dry ice with no problemo. And put some fan around pot so u can blow away condensation from board.

[Nordling]

Flow
My huge respect! The excellent beginning! But how could so to disperse the processor? Where was gone WFBwall? Or it is the selected processor?

[Nordling]

ES - endinering sample?

Thanks for helpfull tips Coming up next time i will do my next session!


@Nordling: Yes its endinering sample! I Tried to go up with the Vcore but I think my Vcore Mod was buggy. I only could costum until 1,75 Vcore and then I saw black screen . The CPU also has a fsb wall. Watercooled I only get 3,8 stable.

Nice photo and cpu pot

Score good for ES and water, DI action and 600MHz more at low vcore, not bad

Excellent start and pictures



Here are some things that I use, maybe you will find it useful

* You can replace vaseline with armaflex/neophrene pad in the base. Not so messy then Often I don't use anything at all, no really needed with DI

* At start, put a few (crashed) DI pellets in container and then boot into bios at default volts. Then add more and a bit acetone and watch your temps climb down. This way you can be sure cold is not the one that prevents booting at the very start

* use a lot of fans


DI is fun, good luck

[Flow]

thangs ... you are right ... DICE is very funny!

[Nordling]

Next use LN2! we wait photo's

[Flow]

I don't have the possibility to get LN2. I will first do some more DICE sessions and when I'm seventeen or older ^^ I will try my first LN2 session

[Dekara]

Sweet photos and your thread looks very very nice, congrats!

[metro.cl]

looks way to clean :P

i only use:

Nail polish (if i have time)
Aeroflex
Tube
Alcohol

And bench, nice results with a E6700 maybe i'll put mine under dry ice soon

[Xtasy]

nice extreme cooling start btw ES = engeneering sample i think flow has to visit me and than he´ll be able to use a little bit ln2

[BNDMOD]

Wow man... great job... congrats... i'm looking for the same result :d

[Flow]

Yeah it names engeenering Sample. I just copied ^^ I wasn't sure

[BNDMOD]

jejeje... dou you use acetona to evaporate dryice? how much does it cost?

[Brettbeck]

Nice job there !

[Flow]

I ordered the DICE in Germany. 6kg costs 30€ (39 dolla?).

[Dekara]

I ordered the DICE in Germany. 6kg costs 30€ (39 dolla?).

Too expensive .
In Serbia DI cost ~0.56€/kg and LN2 cost ~1.75€/l .

[Flow]

wow ... yeah I'm searching a cheaply possibility

[BNDMOD]

Ok.... it's sos expensive... but... here in argentina i can't find on anywhere!!!

Great Pic´s and Session

Stummerwinters Cooler

[M.Beier]

Awesome freq
You should really consider doing a bit of tweaking when you reaches that high frequencies.. Its a bit of a shame seeing 0,02sec with a 100mhz less on a untweaked setup.. :\

Especially since you got mods and all..

Keep up the good work

[TopherTony]

aight you have a PM

[before]

Nice set of pics and sweet clocks!

Anyway, Vaseline is definitely not required... I've only used it once myself but never again and never ever killed something due to lack of insulation. The only board for which I've used Vaseline was a Bad Axe... a Bad Axe which later died under standard conditions, and for which it was very boring to remove the Vaseline prior to send it for RMA.
