Some Vapochill Cooled Kingston HyperX!!

[UTF Nightmare]

Together with Desersthooter I modified some things to cool my ram.
Why don't use a Vapochill LS

Specs:

Amd Athlon X2 3800+ 0548 RPMW
2x256 Kingston HyperX PC3000
Epox 9NPA+ Ultra - Vdimm - Vdroop -
OCZ Powerstream 420W
Gainward 6600GT


On air I only reached 268 MHz on 3,8V

This is what I get on Vapochill cooled mem on 3,7V



Here are some pics of the cooling. First we tried a boxed AMD heatsink and put in on the KHX with heatspreader:

Sorry for bad quality



With that I reached a nice 273 MHz @ 3,7V

Then we had another idea to use some aluminium sticks. So we did
Result:









Aerogate could go under 0C


We have also tried Infineon BH-6. On air it goes 280 @ 3,77V
Under Vapochill it only goes 273 @ 3,79V
Prolly coldbugged

Impressive!

[DaWaN]

How was the contact with the chips ?? Or did you chilled the heatspreader ?? And what was the actual tempature of the chips ??

Anyway it looks very cool It should have be great fun to do

[dinges]

loool
very xtreme

[rick_fx]

Haha! Coldbugged ram

[UTF Nightmare]

@ DaWaN:

I really don't know what the temp of the chips was because of there no way to read them and I don't have a thermometer.

@ rick_fx:

I guesse so
Maybe try it again with a bit worse contact

there's no point in using extreme cooling on BH5/UTT. They just don't get hot enough. Lol coldbug.. let's keep it at "not stable operating temperature".

xtreme though, well worth the try

no offense, but did you even read his post?

"on air, 268 at 3.8 volts.
sub zero cooled 280 at 3.7 volts."

thats more MHz, at less voltage.
looks like a improvement to me

[ozzimark]

i like the decrease in the infineon. that makes me

you wouldn't happen to have any micron around, would you? i find their chips to be the most sensitive to heat.

[biohead]

no offense, but did you even read his post?

I re-read it properly this time. I'm very tired, my bad.

edit:
hey now I remember.. it's you from that mac moron thread. I read your stories. Dude I love you.

[Vincentvega18]

Anyone tried this kinda thing with tccd? they seem to get hotter than any bh-5 ive seen.

[Repoman]

TCCD works best at 0C according to Samsung

[EnJoY]

Old BH5 is usually fine in extreme cold, but pretty much all UTT cold bug.

[DesertShooter]

I'm going to freeze my TeamGroup too, we will see if it has a coldbug .

Tomorrow more pics!

Nice job!!

Any advise on which temps are needed to get solid ice on the sticks??
I got waterchilling, and its around -10 to -7 'cause of my lame coldbugged CPU...

Anyhow, got a chipset head + eheim 1048 I dont use, I assume it would make a neat coctail, but is -10 enough?? - Dont wanna get water all around, hehe

Thanks,
Marc

[Harshal]

Well Congrats for the success... Xtreme for sure. Damn.... I think I need to take up more adventures with whole Phase-Change thing.

[omga14]

did you try 3.8v's or more and just didn't see better results. i'm sure heat isn't an issue with 4v's

[wittekakker]

Nice results guys!

[Athens[2004]]

The design:

Very nice and simple design DesertShooter@ 3 Γ do the job Thnx 4 info sharing .

Ι can see a copyied desing from a company with 4-5 heatpipes cooper material and an 90mm fan in a few months .

Go and Trade mark it

did you try 3.8v's or more and just didn't see better results. i'm sure heat isn't an issue with 4v's

Didn't try 3,8V. 4V isn't possible because of the max of the Powerstream is 3,86V on the 3,3V rail. And Epox is Vdimm modded and won't go really higher then 3,7V.

The 268 @ 3,8V on air was on a Ultra-D mobo.

Gonna try it in a DFI Expert soon

[wittekakker]

Hmm, u should always use same hardware, mobo's are very different

[UTF Nightmare]

I know but we don't have a DFI atm and this Epox is prolly worse then DFI
Gonna test Kingston on air this afternoon.

[Malk4vi4n]

Try again on a DFI board and post the results!!!

Very eXtreme for sure!

[Mr. Tinker]

All that for a 4% overclock? What'd that gain you in real-world perfromance? .5%?
