|Slappa's Slushbox|




Long story short. Today I got pretty bored. I've been wanting to put my 1090T under dry ice for quite some time now. However, my benchpartner has been busy with work so I could not obtain the dry ice pot.

So I was thinking of ways I could cool down my processor, in order to play around with my new 6 core. Since I own a Corsair H50 AIO Watercooling kit, I decided to have some fun.

I hung the radiator in an old lunch cooler and filled it to the brim with ice. I also threw a bit of water in for more cooling surface area. I figured this could get my processor 5°C or below. I was right. Yes, the slushbox idea is not a brand new innovative one, but I wanted to try my chip under something else then regular cooling for now.




So I pushed my processor to frequencies I only previously thought could be attained on dry ice (at least with my deneb's). It seems these new Thuban chips pack quite the punch when it comes to running up the frequency.

Anyways. Enough with the chit chat. I threw together another youtube short just like the good old days when I played with my denebs. So here you are:

Here are all the screenshot results and validations:

UPDATE: Session Three - Temperature Tuning 0-1C Idles

4.806GHz All 6 Cores @ 1.648Vcore, 1C idle - Valid



4.902GHz Core #1 @ 1.648Vcore, 1C idle


UPDATE: Low Volt Overclocking
I wanted to see how far this thing would go without using insanely high volts.

UPDATE: Session Two - More Tuning

Single Core Tuning - Max Frequency (Core #1, My Best Core) = 4844MHz


SuperPi 1M


SuperPi 32M



Original Run - First Session

4250MHz Prime 95 Stable 1 Hour


I wanted to see how the slushbox worked under a real stress and if the chip would stay stable. The slushbox doesn't deal with loads too well, but is still kept below 32C at all times. I believe if I had a good enough water setup, I could attain this stable speed no problem without any slushbox at all.

SuperPi 1m @ 4662MHz


SuperPi 32m @ 4500MHz


I could have sped up the ram a bit on this one, but I got lazy and left it as is. With some more tuning I believe I could get closer to 15 min flat.

Update: SuperPi 32m @ 4571MHz


wPrime 32m @ 4500MHz


wPrime 1024m @ 4250MHz


Update: wPrime 1024m @ 4409MHz


PiFast @ 4500MHz


Update: PiFast @ 4553MHz


Cinebench 11.5 @ 4250MHz


Update: Cinebench 11.5 @ 4427MHz


Update: 3DMark Vantage @ 4427MHz


Update: SiSoft Sandra @ 4427MHz


CPUZ SS @ 4730MHz - Validation




In the video I attained a speed of 4.75GHz, however it was not stable for validation nor screenshot. It was only a taken as a video clip. The cpu did not last very long at 4.75GHz and crashed soon after.
