Tek9 3.0 LN2/DI GPU unit

[k|ngp|n]

I see , that makes me a clown.

Your units are a little different and you aren't selling them anyways...so that doesnt make you a clown .
I give alot of people tips on making them when they ask me for specs, it's not like that.
Biters piss me off....I'm gonna start calling people out on it when I see units that are blatant copies and they are for commercial use. It's ing bull that I spend thousands prototyping units to perfect them and tune them right, than someone decides that because people are digging it.... it's a good idea to copy it and make some $$$ . I held back before but not any more....watch. And It's only blatant copies I am talking about.

I try to be as original and unique as possible on all of my units, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't , but I learn alot on every unit to help make the next one better. It great to see others doing that from time to time, but I mostly respect the guys that follow in those same lines and dont do the same old ass stuff.
I also have alot of respect for someone such as yourself who does their own . Now you will bench them and figure out how to make your next ones even better right? THAT'S what it is about.

Hey Vince,
I wont have time for about another week yet to get any runs in with this beauty, but you said to take lots of pictures
Here are some I'd like to share with you and the guys, sorry there's no results to go with them.
I'm not going to mod the card till after the first session.

The wole setup looks beautiful deanzo. Can't wait to see it all subzero, good luck with your benching man.

[teyber]

wow thats so sick...

just saw that. Is that actually you vince?


keep up the good work. can i send you a pm?(not about purchasing... )

[dinos22]

[youngpro]

Vince,

I really do feel for you man, to hear people are copying your Tek9's and throwing them up for sale is really disgusting, i used to port performance engines and when people asked me for templates of port that i had spent hours tuning it just made me want to reach out and slap them!! i could only imagine how much it would make you blood boil to hear/see such things after the amount of hard earned cash you've spent in R&D on these units, respectively some things are hard to steer clear from in design and are more of a technology development, like the rectangle pot (with 3way SLI and 4-3 slot spacing) its hard not too. but to hear people making financial gain and some even personal gain from copying your designs really is sad but really they wouldn't be copying if i wasn't good.

Congrats on rev 3.0 they look great!!!

I've just been linked here from www.benchtec.co.uk by Deanzo, and I just have to say how stunning a GPU pot that is! Good work!

If you could PM me a price for one delivered to the UK that'd be great! Cheers

[lolhalol]

vince , i trully understand and support ur stance on those copycats... , imitation is teh best form of flattery. but of course direct copies and commercial gain are just over the top.. i have to admit i have a pot similar to urz going to be made. but its for personal use.. and slight;y different...

[EmineM]

quick questions, looking at the spacing on the Asus Maximus Extreme, tek9's will not fit in the space if your fitting crossfire or?

Hey thanx alot tek 3 has been my fav both designing/benching. It's really evolved into a hell of a unit. It does EVERYTHING that it was intended to do.
As for the biters...watch out because these aussie's got my back .

@EMINEM
These units are for double pci-ex spacing. 3-way rev soon.

can wait till i get my hand on mine .
thx in advance vince u are really the best

I have now been through some units, but they just dont hold the load... SO, I ordered a Tek-9

1000Mhz gpu, here I come..

These units looks and perform great Vince, you are doing one hell of a job with them!

on LN2 you could use a buffer for that.

vince please reply to my pm

[blind_ripper]

got my tek-9 3.0 today to vince u are the greatest

love the disign , within 2 day full testing

The Tek-9 3.0 is probably Vince's greatest accomplishment. And consider the guy we're talking about here, that's really saying a lot.

Sham and hipro would probably agree though.

They are just absolutely amazing both on dry ice and LN2. 1200MHz on R600 is no stretch with the right card, and is not particularly difficult with this unit. We've seen Vince do it, and I was also able to come close.

Check out the nasty ATiTool temperature with the card cruising at 1200MHz 1.51v. Base temperatures never crossed -65C for me under these circumstances through Nature. Absolutely superb.

However, I came to the conclusion that LN2 is actually even easier on these units than dry ice. That particular card has a very nasty cold bug. Any lower than about -71 or so container temperature results in a hard lock under 3D load. Consequently, I was not really able to gain any benchable clocks going from dry ice to LN2. Still, the LN2 experience was amazing. Just hit the container hard right before your bench starts, and start the benchmark at the temperature you want to hold as the unit is pulling down. Timing the start of the benchmark is all you have to worry about with this unit. Very, very infrequent pouring is necessary. Through a nature run for example, you only need one splash right before the test starts, and nothing more. Base temps rise about 3C under load, but the sheer mass of the unit allows the card to remain stable.

Check out what happens when you pair a 5500MHz Yorkie with the card screaming like this on the Tek 9. Highest card clocks I've seen yet through a single '05, and the entire run required only two pours for the Tek 9...around the middle of GT2 is where the container became empty. One more splash, and it handled Canyon Flight like cake afterwards.

Hello guys,
is there a list of all compatible graphic cards?
i am still a student, but want to step into subzero for my videocards.

So a fundamental thing is, that the pots fits with nearly all cards... maybe in the future to.

I see many pots, only made for 2900 oder 8800... i am searching for a pot, that fits with all these cards... maybe with some oldschool cards like X850XT, too.

Will this pot be a good choice for me... considered to compatibility?
Performance is beyond all questions!!!!

kind regards Loopy

PS: can somebody PM me for the price of the unit?

[tim-]

those pots fitts both 8800 cards as well as 2900 and newer 3850 and 3870... you have to remove the frame arround the gpu on 2900cards thought.. shouldn't be to hard as far as i know.

/tim

[loopy83]

and older models of ati/nv crads ?!
maybe X850XT AGP or other older PCIe models....

i cant find the exact dimensions of the mounting holes of the pot.
maybe there are several mounting kits for the pot....

TEK-9 Slims unveiled last night in vegas and benched for easy new 3dmark 2003 world record by using 3 EVGA 8800 ULTRAS and EVGA 780iSLI at 120,000 points. These TRI-SLI units are pittbulls for the size. Tuned for 1000mhz+ ultras these TEKS are .
