Hello guys
I'm posting a new thread even if I have already read the thread "New to Dry Ice" and the guides from k|ngp|n in this forum section because some years already passed and maybe some things now are done in a different way, so here we go!
After benching with my top liquid rig and enjoying really much overclocking at those rates, I decited to move to something more serious and competing and after some research I found that going into DICE would be the best move for me (and maybe moving to ln2 when dice is well know).
The main questions:
1) About the mixture to put in the pot before DICE, many user are using Acetone; I don't like it for the nocive fumes, could I use something different like normal house alcohol (95%) or similar with good heat trasfer properties? I've found this interesting post, what do you think about? >HERE<
And about LN2, will I use the same mixture or it's different?
2) About the thermal compound, which one I have to use and why? (at the moment I have some MX2, MX3, MX4, Noctua NH-T1, Tuniq X4)
For LN2 I have to use the same?
Do I have something particular to do in order to have the best contact between pot and cpu?
3) I'm going to buy the following pot, it will be good even for LN2 in your opinion?
A) http://www.piotres.com/?go=4%2cln2%2...60mm_diameter_
Do you think that I'd need an aluminum extension of about 100-150mm to avoid dice/ln2 splashes on the motherboard?
Do you think that nickelplating the pot for 30euros is a good thing or you wouldn't do it?
4) About GPU pot, the following ones are good for dice and even for LN2? If they were at the same price but piotre's is new and der8auer is used, which one will you choose for both dice and ln2?
A) piotres GPU: http://www.piotres.com/?go=4,ln2,000...42mm_diameter_,
B) der8auer GPU: here, here and here
Which gpu pot is actually the best on dice/ln2? k|ngp|n one? And about the price? (in PM )
Do you think that nickelplating the pot for 30euros is a good thing or you wouldn't do it?
5) About insulation, do you think that the above method will be just fine for DICE? The "paste" used is Oily Plasticine and not Rubber!
About insulation for LN2, k|ngp|n guides are still the best way to do it?
Thanks very much for your contribution and sorry for my poor english, I hope you can understand correctly what I said
