My new solid container CGR3

[corvus_corax]

Hi! I like to share with you some pics of my brand-new LN2/DICE Container aka CGR3 (Corvus Glacies R3 )

In a few days i'll finish the lapping work
Comments please ...

How you gonna mount it?

[Mr. Popo]

Great work! nice and clean... (Just to be sure, It's Alu right? can't see cause of reflection)

n00b 0f l337 - Super Glue? :P

[corvus_corax]

How you gonna mount it?

From the top part.
There is no problem for mounting
I'll show pics when is installed in the mobo.

Thanks Mr. Popo
Yep, is Alu.

Why not mill off 2mm all the way around and make a ledge like 2-3" from the base? Produces mcuh better mounts.

Actually i did that in the past, here my CGR2



But this time i made a new design

EDIT: link Fixed

[Trouffman]

nice work !

what's size inner / outer ? and height please !

Tell me please more about this "fact"
All of my pots is mounted from top, all of those have 100% seal isolation from bottom to top
I cant understand those who use "bottom mounts"

[kiwi]

Looks nice


There is no difference really between bottom and top mount since you still have insulation in both cases. Insulation is not the problem

[Dani]

With BOTTOM mount: you got some ice around hold down & container becouse around hold down you have not isolated 100% air tight, thats for sure after +5h straight OC with LN2, tested that

With TOP mount: 100% seal isolation from bottom to top without any cuts in isolation, no ice nowhere after +8h straight OC with LN2
The CPU press via hold down is the same, no difference between BOTTOM or TOP mount.

It's easyer to isolate and do an container with TOP mount

[corvus_corax]

Thanks guys .

I'll mount it, exactly same as Dani's idea . Actually i did the design in that way thinking in having the most space avaible for working in the base . But right now i'm working in a new design in copper 2 1/4.

Trouffman: height is 23.8cm and weighs 1.1kg

About the bottom mount, like Dani pointed, after a few hours you can have ice around, but is possible to insulate with tape for minimizing. The two methods are fine, but i preferred this time with top mount.

[n00b 0f l337]

I can't remember the term,
but your stretching your mounting tension/pressure over a much larger space. It's the difference between holding a waterbottle on a table, and pushing a waterbottle from above down onto the table.

LOL, how much do you think I've lost in MHz with TOP mount
No, the fact is, you can screw down wing nuts to the end even if it is TOP mount, I can screw them down till my mobo crack

Ok, this mobo/CPU didn't even boot with tightness of this

[G H Z]

When did they start making curved boards like that
I have an Ultra-D that still runs after I heard a 'crack' when tightening down a container once

Nice container corvus

[kiwi]

Well, I have not tried LN2 but with dice it is not really a problem, I got sometimes a bit frost near hold down plate but that's about it, it just stays there and does not bother me

[corvus_corax]

Thanks GHZ

And about the ice, that could be dependent of ambient temp and humidity but for example here when my first container that i made, check the ice around:



That was after 6 hours.

Since then i insulate the hold down plate too, and there is no problem :

[Joe Camel]

.


yup, an insulated hold-down plate and a "few" fans keeps mine dry as a bone too
(tested for 8+ hours of D-Ice Benching fun)

[corvus_corax]

Well, lapping work finished and the container is ready for benchs






Right now i'm testing it with my 170W tester...

[Dani]

Do you have pic inside the container, down there on bottom is the magic, not outside

[Fixxxer]

Holy moly! Great lapping work!

This solid container looks fantastic.

Congrats!

[littleowl]

I agree with dani I want to see the inside as well!!

[Otternase]

Nice Work,

next Week i make a new Container.

[littleowl]

otternase make sure you post pics!!

nice pots, and lapping,
if you are making them to sell them you could get carpal tunnel from the lapping, you could put the pots in a lathe and use sandpaper taped to mirror glass and lap them while it's spinning

[corvus_corax]

Thanks guys!

@best [486]: Thanks buddy, but i don't sell my containers, they are only personal projects and fun

Here is mounted and working...i'm still on s939, i hope my Conroe arrives very soon...
