My first subzero bench session

[CryptiK]

I did my first subzero cooling bench session tonight.

Used dry ice and acetone (should be around -78*C). I had no temp probe, but as expected I didn't run into any CB/CBB issues. BIOS went down to -60*C and stayed there whenever I checked, no idea what load temps were. I left the ram and tRD at safe settings, didn't want any uninvited lockups while I was trying to figure out how the CPU behaved.

Nothing special results wise, the CPU is not a great one and I'm a complete novice, but I had lots of fun.


SPI 1M | 5.799 GHz | 7.985sec (cracked 8 seconds finally)




SPI 32M | 5.70 GHz | 8m 27.750s




AQM3 | 5.799 GHz | 342 138




3D Mark 2001 | 5.699 GHz | 104 509 Marks | 17th GTX285




3D Mark 2003 | 5.70 GHz | 73 357 Marks | 10th GTX285




3D Mark 2005 | 5.70 GHz | 34 485 Marks




CPU-Z @ 5.9 GHz





That's all for this session. Thanks for looking.

Nice work CryptiK!

Good to see someone running 01 again!

[Kal-EL]

Nice 01 shot Cryptik

Good clocks for DICE, I bet yah had a blast running sub-zero

[ReverendMaynard]

congrats man, very nice 01 stuff there. Once you have that first cold session you get hooked!

[Kal-EL]

P.S. you forgot the frosty hw pron pics

[Viss]

Congrats mate, from now on things wil only get colder

[skinnee]

Congrats, and yes the addiction only gets worse.

[Hondacity]

wooohooooo welcome to the subzero land

you'll definitely do some hwbot damage

[Zeus]

Very nice CryptiK! Good to see the good old Rampage Extreme still not ready to retire. REX+8600+D9GTR must be the most legendary benching setup ever!

[miahallen]

Nice stuff man Thanks for sharing

[siavash_shojaee]

congrats
nice run on dice

[scooter.jay]

Very good well done Now it gets addictive

[chuchnit]

Nice scores man! Once you go sub-zero everything else is boring

[Boulard83]

thats a good first one

[George_o/c]

May all your overclocking endeavors go as smooth as this one! Keep it up man!

Good to see someone running 01 again!

CryptiK,very nicely done.i got to try some sub zero action some day.

Thanks I love 01, and always wanted to break 100K with this card.

Nice 01 shot Cryptik

Good clocks for DICE, I bet yah had a blast running sub-zero

Thanks I wasn't sure what kind of clocks to expect on DICE, but it was great fun.

congrats man, very nice 01 stuff there. Once you have that first cold session you get hooked!

Thanks Yeah I'm already contemplating the next session. Hopefully I can get hold of a dewar and some LN2 soon. I have a good CPU lined up too.

P.S. you forgot the frosty hw pron pics

Ah yes, I will add a couple at the end of this post

Congrats mate, from now on things wil only get colder

Thanks Yeah I might have another DICE session, to get some more practice but LN is on the cards in the future.

Congrats, and yes the addiction only gets worse.

Thanks I thought it may have peaked, but apparently not hehe.

wooohooooo welcome to the subzero land

you'll definitely do some hwbot damage

Thanks I hope I can get some good points in the future, but this is a great learning platform for me at the moment.

Very nice CryptiK! Good to see the good old Rampage Extreme still not ready to retire. REX+8600+D9GTR must be the most legendary benching setup ever!

Thanks mate, yeah it's a fun combo for sure. The Ballistix I'm using are GTS, sadly not as good as some GTR sticks out there (either that or the REX doesn't play nice with them) but great fun nonetheless. Wish I had a kit like your old Diablos.

Nice stuff man Thanks for sharing

Thankyou, I've got some real inspirational people to look up to on this forum for sure

congrats
nice run on dice

Thanks

Very good well done Now it gets addictive

Thankyou I thought it was already addictive, I can't imagine how much worse it's going to get!

Nice scores man! Once you go sub-zero everything else is boring

Thanks It was a lot of fun that's or sure.

thats a good first one

Cheers

May all your overclocking endeavors go as smooth as this one! Keep it up man!

Thanks man I think things are going to be much more tricky on LN2, but I didn't have any condensation or insulation issues, which initially was my biggest concern. Hopefully it holds up under real cold.

CryptiK,very nicely done.i got to try some sub zero action some day.

Thanks mate It really good fun, I'm glad I finally did it. If you can you should

Great going my good old friend , finally you got bit by the bug , once you go subsero you will never go back , good start Bro. May the subsero Force be with you.

Thanks Angelo, yeah I finally took the plunge. It really is a lot of fun, I can see why you guys like it so much

[TinTin]

Good start! And nice clock for DICE ....

[Expat GriZ]

Nice runs for dice and well done!! Welcome to the COOL CLUB!!

[OC4/3]

Nice benchie
Hopefully i will do this soon,pot is here but no mounting/insulation material...............

[cowie]

you did good man.now it will never be the same when you bench air,if you even want to.

[zalbard]

Great results! Hope you had a lot of fun!

Thanks mate Yeah it changes the perspective on things huh.

Great results! Hope you had a lot of fun!

Thanks, I sure did!


I had a bit of DICE left, so I re-ran a couple of things and managed to improve a couple of scores.
