Cheap NB pot

**Moonman** · 12-01-2008, 03:55 AM

Got two stock coolers from E6600 with a nice copper base.
Copper + LN2 + Need more MHz =

Pot in action:

I can confirm the pot is excellent and it should be in everyone's D.I.Y. to-do list

Temperature handling is great due to it's rather large mass!

sweet work

we have used a Swiftech MCX159CU and then mounted the core if an intel stock hsf with cu and ya it works great

**Solarfall** · 12-01-2008, 08:52 AM

thats a cool idea.. i've seen something similar before and it seems to work like a charm..well executed

**<<HANNIBAL>>** · 12-02-2008, 05:02 AM

I've also seen this kind of pot
easy and cheap
good job

**sno.lcn** · 12-02-2008, 05:33 AM

Nice, yours looks a whole lot better than mine

**~~Bullet92~~** · 12-02-2008, 01:34 PM

That was Stelios's idea for 3870x2 pot and it's awesome for GPU/NB container.
sno.lcn made it very well but that's awesome one. You don't need to cut fins? Just make one cut and easy remove whole "fin" part? Me like it...

**pxhx** · 12-03-2008, 02:58 AM

Good job...

**Borys** · 12-03-2008, 10:41 AM

Found another picture of the pot:

Glad to hear it because that's spending a lot of time.

What about base - tube contact? Is it worth to make spires or just weld/solider it?

**[XC] gomeler** · 12-03-2008, 01:41 PM

Just braze it together with some 1" pipe

**~~Bullet92~~** · 12-03-2008, 02:27 PM

Ok, thx... I will make one soon

**dinos22** · 12-03-2008, 03:50 PM

yeah another dude did this on the forum i while back
but how the heck are we supposed to find these other copper pipes and also braze and all that lol hehhehe

nice idea and you are right...lots of mass in that little container

they are very little thought...hard to judge size unless you hold one in your hand

**~~Bullet92~~** · 12-03-2008, 04:11 PM

@Moonman
What about temperature oscillations? I see it's good with holding LN2 but oscillation can make big problems.

@Dinos
Try to make one with i7 stock cooler

**dinos22** · 12-03-2008, 04:12 PM

that little pot has plenty of mass for nb bullet

**Moonman** · 12-04-2008, 11:18 AM

Took a picture of mounting.
On the left, plastic for Commando and on the right for Biostar P45.

**natedog420** · 12-05-2008, 09:16 AM

Always better than stock cooling

**Serpentarius** · 12-07-2008, 12:36 AM
