Commando... again

[D-Cyph3r]

Nice man, I knew I shouldn't have got rid of my Commando.... not for £55 anyways. >.<

Thanks

Old thread... old specs... new (well resurrected) cascade!

2x40.7cc/rev compressors
R507+R23 at first stage
R14+R600 at second stage

E8600 Q822A
Asus Commando + Modded 1605 BIOS



unloaded temp



Just trying here not serious benching... at -128C

Anymore info or pics on your cascade Xavier.?
Autocascade as a first stage.?

Ah good to see old good commando , awsome cascade.

Nop; just a mixture of R507 and R23... I found it to work really well here (it allows reaching a very cold temp with an acceptable LSP);

The R14 starts condensating at 15bars (pulls down very quickly to -130C) and then stays within 15 to 18bars which is not too high when you realize that the unit is only made of 2 stages.

Only matter is there isn't an oil sep at the moment... so sometimes, the 2nd stage temp gets warmer and then decreased again... and so on. Typical oil issue. I'll add an oil sep in about a week.

Basically here are the specs:

- 2 x 40.7cc/rev compressors
- 2.7kw condenser
- 12 pl. HX (not as small as it seems to be)
- Passive desuperheater for 2nd stage
- Vibration dampers for IN and OUT sides of compressors
- 2 x 1.8m of 0.8mm captube at 1st stage
- 1 x 3.4m of 0.9mm captube at 2nd stage

Very good cascade

Wonderful results, have you tested on something with a heavier load.? 980 perhaps.?

Either way it's awesome work.

for my experience cascade is good only for dual cores...with i5 670 i can handle -125°C@6300MHz...same cascade with 980X@5500 is -85°C

lol which cascade? specs?

[fl0w3n]

Did you build this cascade yourself?

Great resurrection, well done

Well that's a throwback! Nice to see a Commando still kicking. Nice cascade too

Completely depends on the cascade. A stronger cascade would be able to maintain -125C on a 980X and possibly enable 6+GHz(if the chip will do 6+GHz at such warm temps).

can you post the specs of the cascade please...

Looks like what you want to know, doesn't it?

Thx
