    Cool Sons First Dice Containers

    Well, after a few months of reading through these threads, I decided to design my own pots so that I can do some extream benching. The tubes were made by my friend Captain Slug. There is no internal soldering, only external. Tell me/us what you think!






    Dont mind the 6800, it's thier in place of my 7800GTX. I still have yet to lap the bases, tap the GPU container, and as you can see, clean out both tubes. Once that is all done I will be ready to do my first run with DICE!

    The GPU tube seems like a monster

    looks tall and also you dont have a lot of surface on the inside, you can work there.

    from what i've seen 8" tall is enough
    and also more area inside = colder temps you can get

    Nice tubes mind if I ask the base thickness of the gpu? It looks to be 1/2 or thicker which be a little more then desirable thickness.

    I'd chop it down to 8 inches or so and lap it real good to knock some width off the bottom. I mean lapping with a lathe or something, then smoothing it down.

    A lathe wouldn't do any good for that. A lathe spins the part around and then brings a tool in to do the actual cutting. A belt sander would work well for this though.
