Why is it "tough to set up" ?

Why is it "tough to set up" ?

The pot is so large that it makes insulating a little hard.

[chew*]

I can vouch for the insulating being a tad of a pain, but I came up with a solution and have since already modded the pot gained a tad more out of her Might experiment a tad more.

Will you share, or are you going to hold out on me?

And yes the thing is so massive. Everytime I clamp it down to the board I feel like the board is going to snap.

[TheGreenFoX]

Cant wait to get my own Venom

Well what works for me may not work for you....mine is a prototype.....dimms are not the same nor is mass....I can afford to take a little away, that said some of the future mods can not be done by man


Surface area mod stage 1, surface area effectively doubled......catch is.....you need special size taps ( quality ones not some cheap crap that will break ), if you break one in a hole you are screwed.......if you have never tapped a thread before I highly suggest you have a a machine shop do it, Being a mechanic I have the quality tools and the know how......

I might reccomend Hanson brand taps that "snapon Inc" contracts for they're tap and dies.

I have a old alu pot for 775 made at 85x85mm with 25 M10 tapped holes it works great

The threading is there specifically to cause more reaction......

Ln2 works off the same principle as refrigeration.......cold is created when liquid is converted to gas.....

In ln2's case when ln2 boils it converts to gas form in the form of bubbles.......the threading is sort of a larger reaction chamber so to speak, creating more and finer bubbles.

The more reaction you can create the higher the transfer of energy.....Of course you can only go so cold with the pot and the limits of ln2 but I don't care about pot temps.....I care about the transfer of pot temps to the cpu.

I care about core temps because phenom II scales the colder you can keep it, if it didn't then why LHe?.....So if you can maintain -180 CPU temps ( not the pot temps )
you are going to get higher clocks than at lets say -170 CPU temps....

I would much rather have vertical "slots" then horizontal threads inside those bores. ITs not worth the extra time really, there is a better solution if you want to increase "micro" surface area.

Venom is REALLY easy to insulate guys. You assemle the whole thing like below with all your foam/prep done underneathe the container before you screw it down. Then you just slide the whole piece of foam the length of the container + a little bit down the whole assemble and your done. Those lips for the shoulder spacers/springs also provide a "hook" to catch the foam and keep it compressed
Mounting guide for this unit will be up very soon.

Agreed but I did what I could with what I have at my disposal atm....tap and die thats it lol.....

We won't even talk about how long this took.

I came up with a solution for insulation in tight area's vince ( gigabyte ) and it also prevents cold creep from bottom of pot. I will post it if you want. The lip does not catch to well or not to my liking I should say.

That would be great... Im going to mount mine on a MA790XT so any tips/tricks would be appreciated

[massman]

Noooo! Another container I have to purchase.

It looks quite good actually and no doubt the performance is on par with the looks. Nice work!

[Harshal]

Sexy looking container there Vince!!
Am sure you had fun making this one man... no worries of cold-bugged chips.

[Dolk]

hey Chew, have you done DI with this pot yet? Been working with it and have tried a couple different ways but still can't seem to get below -35C. Vince suggested a couple things, but wouldn't mind having a bunch of different ideas before I go and buy more DIce.

[chew*]

This pot I use strictly for ln2.....

I have about 4 pots total each pot has it perfect purpose, one kills 3d/ load apps on DI, other is perfect for 2d work....

IME there is no perfect pot....there is only perfect pots for specific tasks....thats said I am slowly tweaking vinces for load apps.

My other ln2 pot has already proved itself worthy in 2d and can not be modified.

i would like to thank kingpin for sending me the meanest looking pot i have ever owned!
very quick order fulfillment, exceptional and carefully packed! i will try to sit ice cream
right next to it later, but i expect it to remain frozen for as long as it sits right next to
the V E N O M!

[k|ngp|n]

Cool deal, hope you like it man!

Benched on it all week long with Macci in Dallas
I think he liked it

[wuttz]

i just did a noobscake run and it's so stress free!
it's not a l33t run like y'all do but for starters i'm happy with scores! =)



[ bigger pic ]

tried pushing vcore higher but it just blacks out after starting windows but before desktop.
gonna run and get some more LN2, this is fun! venom pot is 5 stars/5!!!

[Duniek]

ooo so somebody finally thread holes in pot
I made it in one pot but at all I dont get any performance gains

[chispy]

Thats a mighty fine mean looking pot , amazing craftmanship as always Vince , great looks and performance to kill. Awsome pot.


Angelo.

[Ming@s]

Beautiful Beautiful

I want to see results.

[luihed]

Sweet pot as always Vince

Nice to see this design works now, now that you dont have to worry about coldbug like before..

[Foamy]

I don't think words are necessary.

My friend those caps are not an issue .

[TheGreenFoX]

My friend those caps are not an issue .

I would like to see a running board with those caps cut off

Do not take his statement so literal. Gautam's image assumes a flat base, you would simply taper the base slightly and the capacitors will not contact the base.
