Dragon F1

Great work Vince!

Great work Vince!

Thanx bro.

[Yellowbeard]

There is something beautiful about a finely machined piece of metal. I have always said that if I win the lottery I am going to buy a completely outfitted machine shop. And like you said, you have come a LONG way from the old brazed pots.

i hope, you like it

Frozen metal is even more beautiful!

I like the new Tek 9 GPU pots Vince!

pics of the probe mounting on this F1..?

Nice pot Vince!

Thats a familiar site...looks mean all frozen up
Are you happy with the unit so far oanvoanc? Pretty easy to dial in the temps and keep them where you want them?

Here is the probe location mounting for the F1 unit: You want to get the probe up to 1/4 deep from the side. Be careful becasue the copper is soft and can break the bit off in the base of the unit.. that sucks! Don't put too much pressure on the drill and blow out the copper shavings as you go:

Great work!

Vince this may sound like a stupid question but does it matter how the pot sits on the cpu. Don't think i worded it so well so would one of the following positions work better then the other

[Extera]

Vince, why did you choose to have less bottom mass on the middle of the pot? Witch imo is the most important place to have more mass?

You got PM about the ETA by the way

Vince,

Making my own pot now.. testing with letters as well. How far down in the copper is your F1 ingraved..? And how long is it from the bottom of the ingraved part to the bottom of the hole pot?

My testpot is 20mm copper in the bottom before the ingraved part is 15mm.. = 35mm.. I think this is to much.. need to get som LN2.

Thanks is advance.

Nope cpt. The base is tuned for a certain ammount of surface area period, orientation over the chip is not that important. I have benched it diff ways, but usually the letter are going left to right towards the top of the board. I am pretty superstitious

Good luck with your pot DPA..
The base is not really clear in the pictures. I am willing to bet that there is more copper underneath the letters on this pot, than just about most other pots. Not that this makes my pot better or anything, thats just how this one is. It was tuned for 5400mhz+ quad/06 four cores. Some measurements I really dont want to give out for obvious reasons, especially publicly.

Hey!

Hehe, your pot seems like _the_ pot... I just have to try then, hehe

Make a thread with your 3way SLI maybe.. that seems awesome...!

Kingpin, Very tempting avatar you have. Seems to be DFI board

Put it this way, when i actually saw the thickness of the base, and the hieght of those letters, i was
Your numbers above are not enough

[hipro5]

NO SHI(f)T...!.......I just show you new avatar Vince......

[jinu117]

Hmmm... Vince... I can see up to 3 pots... but what is the last pot doing? Okay, I am noob when it comes to DI/LN pots after all

Triple SLI + CPU Looks like an evga board, considering how their logo is right next to Dragon in the bottom left.

[dinos22]

maaan you're a tease vince

you end up getting that yorkfield bios or what heheh

as T_M said you just can't tell how massive that base is by looking at these photos here ..... it's freaking massive

Good eye. This mobo could shake things up. Pci-ex layout is perfect, can do decent fsb/mem speeds, and best of all supports yorkfield .
Oskar hooked me up with a beta bios for the board and so far so good on air.
Cool to see some damn SLI results finally with yorky.
I would be lying if I didn't say it was heavily modified air cooling. I dont think this chip is a good air chip at all. TONS of big fans and some nice 34-40F mid-western air lol. Over 100mhz less in all benches in "normal" air circumstances with this chip. FSB goes near 460fsb max on lower multi's in 06 so far without making any gtl adjustments through bios yet not bad.

Close to 94,000 2001 on AIR at 4500mhz with two EVGA Superclocked ULTRAS at 715/1200 and my DOMINATOR 10K's.


81.4k all air cooling in 2003 is tight:


Really tried for 24k in 2006 on all air setup, but cpu just can't make it through both cpu tests over 4440mhz on air :/. Also have to lower vcore to <1.55v or less for 06 stability. 444x10/1:1 and 400x11/2:3 are really close in 06. 450+ fsb/600mz+ mem is tough, but the board can do it with fine adjustments to drive strengths and NB/HT/SB volts.

4500mhz would get me 24k:




Tough to make clock for clock compares with yf using other 680i mobos atm because the 45nm support is not there just yet. So far seems pretty good.

[PPInDaHouse]

omg awesome power for the frequencies

[nachthymnen]

Fantastic pots and amazing aircooled 3d!!

[dinos22]

DFI must have revised the boards or something

look at that FSB and all very nice work Oscar

is this 680i/780i as painfully quirky as the rest of them vince

[metro.cl]

That 2 SLI nature is massive.
