I insulate the socket in a similar manner and then use 3 layers of shop towels, guess I'll just use half a roll next time

Gom, dont just use the towel as layers at the bottom.
The major source of water at the base of your pot (=socket) is from condensation forming further up on the pot. Stop this and you get waaaay longer sessions.

I use a single layer of paper towel over my foam layer on the socket, then put on my pot and wrap it in a couple layer of paper from head to toe including hold down area.
After that im using a thin layer of foam sheet wrapped around the entire lot.
See my avatar for the end result.
My setup run like that without any setbacks for 5hrs+ every time, in Singapore thick humidity and 26C ambients.

And you still get condensation... Try and get thicker arma next time

Cool pics mike...Hey you guys insulate the F1 like this, you will prevent alot of problem. I can run for hours like this with only one single shop towl wrap aroun d the OUTSIDE of the rods and holdown. If uyou do it just like this, you wont have any problems I promise. No need for anymore BS than what you see really. So there is small foam gasket around socket/between caps. Than one paper towel doughnut, then foam doughnut with cutout for unit on top of the cpu. put unit on top with tubular insulation on it, and your done.

Exactly Vince, we use masking tape and paper and thats it...

So easy and clean, once ag. thanks to Newbeetle-san for the inspiration...

[T_M]

Hey Vince, how do you find the NB water cooling on the RE?
Mine doesn't seem that effective at 49-50C loaded 1.65V, so considering removal of the HS assembly and going direct to the IHS

[Yellowbeard]

Thanks for the tips guys. In addition to the other stuff, I use the liquid electical tape. It's good stuff and easily removed if needed. I use that along with the towels and Frost King.

F1 arrived to Monday
Thanks kIngpIn




Home hand Lapping
F1 POT was difficult very heavily

Never mind I just reread it

If so I like that much better, easyer and faster to do.

Nice pics again. Anyone else notice how this unit roars like hell with E8600/-160c/2v+? The beatdown it puts on a E8600 @6550mhz 3D two cores is unreal. You can run one of these cpu's at full load with the container just about empty most of the time

[Oliver]

So true Vince, gem e86s and f1ee is crazy mix up.

When we have arranged our boards, we will play with couple of e86s with ur pot,
Keep them comming

and u put in little "keyword" someone will get brake jaws over uh?

I've run a complete 3D01 run at 6GHz before with a single pour. Start of Car Low I had the base down to -110C with maybe 2 ounces of LN2 into it. By the end of the run it was around -85C and still stable. I had walked away to make a quick snack and forgot I was benching 3D01 Fantastic pot Vince, makes even the absent minded bencher successful

edit: I guess it also helps that my chip does 6GHz with 1.78v

glad you like man

How about barbqueing a cheeseburger while you benching for 01 wr??
I'm not even kidding

sounds doable with these hehehe

i love the sounds this pot produces when at full load and ln2 goes over the base

sounds like a quad turbo V8 Maserati hahahah

I have a grill out back and I like my burgers rare, about 2 minutes per side tops.. don't tempt me Celebratory burger after a WR run, yes ma'am!

So.. decided to try Vince's method with the paper towel around the mount.. epic fail This is after 2 hours benching an E8600 at -110C with 1.78v @ 6GHz 3D01-05. So.. I think I need to insulate the entire board in spray foam Next up is T_M's method







Need to build my benching chamber asap, surprised this board hasn't died yet with ~15 3-hour runs like this. Georgia humidity doesn't play around.

[Godfather1138]

Wow [XC] gomeler, I was really worried that I was going to have issues here in Arkansas with humidity, but that takes the cake. Impressive show of what the hardware can take though.

I dont understand how you get water all over the board like that. I can run at -165c loaded for hours and hours and hours and those areas of the board that have water droplets all over them in your pic like the ps2/ethernet/usb ports and pwm heatsinks never even get cold the slightest bit...in fact they stay warm to to the touch. The whole motherboard does excepte maybe 1/2 inch outside the foam. That picture is really puzzling
Are you using air conditioning or dehumidifier at all down there when you bench?

[lolhalol]

@gomeler..

bro just fit loads of high cfm fans everywhere blowing at every possible angle.. thats what i do..

[BNDMOD]

how. you don't insulate the board? jejeje only a paper towel arround the pot and cpu? or you add samething more?

Vince if you saw what the weather's like down here in the southeast, it'd make you sick. It's not like up north at all. :-/ My skin feels like gomeler's pic whenever I even walk outside.

[cadaveca]

I've got almsot 200 gallons of fish tank in my house... I slightly-cold glass looks like Gom's board.


Hope to join you guys soon with my own pics...some real nice pics in here!

[[XC] gomeler]

There's a half inch of insulation between the board and the paper towel and then the pot goes on top of that assembly with a square cut out for the base of the F1EE. F1EE itself has the original pipe wrapping and then another 3/4" layer of insulation around it

Room temp was 77-79F the entire time. Welcome to the south I'll stop derailing the thread with images of benching in the swimming pool that is Atlanta

@gomeler..

I had removed the fans for the picture, need more fans though. I have a solution for this problem though.. be back in 2 weeks

New toys, thanks a lot Vince
