Tripple stage cascade 2014

[Charles Wirth]

This years resolution to myself was to return to competitive benching so I started the new year getting up to speed again with Haswell and Z87 along with finding all my stuff that has been packed away. I pulled the cascade from storage and cleaned it up, fired it up to after a few years of down time and being broken.

10 Years ago I started the 3 stage cascade project after several successful builds and a sweet deal on compressors from Ebay.
First firing of all three stages was a success, -100c
5 Rebuilds, all compressors have been changed.
This cascade has thousands of hours of run time.
Two trips around the world.
Twice on stage for Intel CEO and VP.
I have never been to Cebit but my cascade has.
It fits in the trunk of a Hertz Mustang Shelby (135Mph/7 hour trip to SFO)
Countless world record runs

Talked about this over the years but I didn't realize it had that much history behind it

[Buckeye]

Very nice Charles !!

I have a picture of that machine a few years ago, I think it's all been changed around tho.

[Charles Wirth]

[Splave]

[chispy]

Nice work, Charles! Now put that setup to good use!

+1 , seems that he got bitten by the OCing bug again Daniel . Good to see you still have it after all this years Charles . You can always send that cascade down to Puerto Rico for me to test drive , 3 stage phase awesomeness !

[Gunslinger]

Get that NB frequency up and watch the score pop.

[Splave]

^ maybe it wont!? Im astonished its this fast at 3.9ghz

[Gunslinger]

^ maybe it wont!? Im astonished its this fast at 3.9ghz

Only one way to find out.

[Charles Wirth]

Thanks for the bios I will switch over. Xtreme Addict killed my XOC from the show, Sa and Sb on diag, both memory channels no longer work.

The 3.9ghz is a bug, it has happened more than once where it will read 39 but it is actually at 58x or 59x, it scores correctly.

Still going but another messed up screen

[Don_Dan]

Am I the only one who can't see the screens? I have to copy the URL from the quoted message.

Congrats for reaching 170k!

[Splave]

tested at 5ghz 4.5ghz cache score 132k // 5ghz 3ghz cache 128k // 5ghz 3.9ghz cache 131k seems it doesnt need to be high anyways

[Charles Wirth]

I spelled it "tripple" so that I can locate my cascade threads easier, years later.

[FlanK3r]

wow, so this cooling could be great for 24/7. Whats your "stable" clock at it? Around 5500 MHz? Show please photo of this cooling system

[Charles Wirth]

6.1Ghz 1.6v 4c/8t 24/7 with the Haswell.

I did some work on it today, re did the insulation from the heat exchangers and returns to compressors on 3rd and 2nd stage to reduce loss.

[PytonOrm]

Whut ??? 6.1Ghz 1.6v 4c/8t 24/7 with the Haswell. and it will not dead soon at that volt ?? is this possible even thats nuts mate great job to. awesome score to

[Duh]

[Fr3ak]
