cpu cooling - ln2 & ghetto pot 5
gpu cooling - ln2 & ghetto pot 4

ghetto5 system test mounted


getting everything ready...dry run lasted about 30minutes with 0 cooling before the block hit 50 degrees


first pour...smoke! B-)


sub0 bios flashing


this block just eats ln2...as suspected the surface area allows for very rapid temp pulldown
one needs to be carefull not to overpour or the temps will just plummet rapidly


condensation autopsy after about 5 hours of -110' block temps and -130' bios temps
the ice didn't stop us in the end ...i think it was the tequila


luckily there was sticky tape sealing air out of all the underside components...still ghetto :P


well the ln2 allowed us to capture the 1M drag race in my country...and run all the 2D hwbot benchies at between 5.1 and 5.2ghz


here is the rest hwbot 2D suite excepting the suicide cpu-z bench for which we hit -5268mhz variefied-

super-pi 32M


hexus pifast


wprime 32M


wprime 1024M


more pics...the collection is growing


anti-condensation packaging tape actually works a treat


vpgu and vddr vmods at 1.6v and 2.1v respectively


no more zip ties...oh well this method seems reliable too...lol


some more smoke




cpu could run to -110' before coldbugging and the gpu could handle about -90'


seems we picked up some water vapour by not keeping the ln2 interim container closed


yup...gpu mount looks good too


some 3D...no screenie for 03 as we were running out of ln2...'06 and aquamark didn't run for some reason




all in all a succesfull weekend besides the few benchies we missed.
would have been great to have a core that does 5.5ghz on ln2 too...this one wouldn't even at 2.06volts...haha
anyway the hunt continues ...
