    correct, i normally have one have it on there for the iniatal charge when load testing in the shed. then when finished turn the cooler off and wait till she cools down then take gauges off (high side) when pressure alot lower. i take suction hose off when system is running and in positive pressure and loose almost no gas.
    WHen tunning inside and doing small tweaks just use low side gauge/hose and not bother with the high side. i know max high sider pressure when i give the cooler 270w



    Heres the first silve case frozen SS i have made. Basically finished just need to do some benching
    1/5hp with r404a refrigerant






    Picked up a bunch of push pull fans condensers, cant wait to uses these babie




    heres a new 3/4hp units im working on

    Just making a guess on width here, and god I wish I had more of those cubers, is Drew still selling em? But rotate that condenser 90 degrees, do push pull across the condenser from side to side of the tray, and you should get a bit more room to pipe


    If you have a cooling question or concern feel free to contact me.

    I think drew is starting to run low on them. Maybe after he sold kayl all of these he decided to wait a bit...

    yeah last i spoke he has a few, not sure how many though.
    the condenser 90 degrees is a great idea fresh air in and hot air straigh out of the case, went very well in drews units, i was thinking of trying one, but my cases arnt quiet suit as there isnt enough breather holes in the side

    3/4HP Frozen SS. ON boot it does -50c and then settles down to -45c idle -42cload 1.8vcore 5Ghz
    Speed fan reads idle core temps correct it seems.

    How could you get the (on-boards to read)?=Accuratly
    I could only get about -2c or so.

    Had to go by the vapochills software and my Fluke88.
    Both were close to the same, aorund -40 to -35c.

    I run the Q66 and it doesnt have the DTS errors that the
    45nm wolfies have?

    I had to mount my temp probe on the top of my IHS as i didnt want to mill it out.
    Its not small/flat enough for that.

    Here is a pic i took for another member who is/was thinking of buying it.
    If i could hold the probe closer (too cold) it would report within 2c or so of the vapo software.

    I think it depends on the motherboard to how well they can read the die temps. Try downloading the latest speed fan maybe. I have tried 2 different E8500's on this mobo and they seem to read about correct. BUt in other motherboards i had noticed temps change from board to board.

    THe vapors cheap though and read temps from the suction line leaving the cpu head and not at the base of the block.

    could you guess the wattage its holding at -42c?

    great units... those temps are insane! and is the cpu temp way off or do you have a incredible evap/mount

    those are incredible results!

    Is that with r290?(or blend r290/404/507a w/e?)

    I just noticed the vacuum gauge in the pic with the condensers nice

    Havn't seen you around lately. i hope everything is OK!

    Thanxs, its r404a and shot of r290. THere isnt much gas in this unit as it floods with idle on these wolfdale cpus.
    Havnt been doing much laterly as its winter here so making these things at night in the shed is a little cold. But with the cascde build on the way should keep busy. I also bought 4 mach2's so will be making some new cases for those and a work over on those units in time
    THinking new longer cases will work nice with a cube condenser and push pull fans

    3/4hp frozen ss phase change cooler with the gsmaster controller. will run push pull fans on the condenser
    Unit will be tuned with Core i7 either a 920 or a 940 not sure yet

    All units now need a suction line accumulator so that at idle the compressor doesn’t freeze, then at load with hyper threading enabled there is enough refrigerant to hold the load of these heatmonsters






    [URL=http://g.imageshack.us/img101/39822592ku1.jpg/1/][/URL

    unit is reading same temperature as my ktype meter




    With the gsmater controller there are some smarts that monitor the pc voltage
    The molex plug is connected to the pc power supply, if the power supply was to shut down 10seconds later the controller shuts down the cooler and the pc for safety reasons
    When yor press the pc power button that starts the cooler, when the cooler reaches the boot temperature it automatically starts the pc. The boot temperature and shut down temperate can be set through the gsmaster controller.
    if the pc is overclocked really high using a very high voltage, if the set shut down temperature is reached the controller makes a beeping noise as a warning, then when critical temperature is reached the pc is shut down as well as the cooler automatically for safety reasons.





    Hey guys little Frozen SS cooling action I feel sorry for the poor i7 920


    Test Configuration:
    • Gigabyte X58-UD5 F4 bios
    • Intel Core i7 920 retail chip 3837A902
    • 3x1GB 1800MHz CAS7D DDR3 Corsair Dominators
    • 1GB Gigabyte GTX280 Graphics Card (AIR)
    • 1000W Silver Stone PSU
    • Windows XP Pro 32bit SP2

    Insulating with faber-Castell Art erasers ensured a air tight socket. My first run with normal insulation I got some condensation inside the socket after a few hours The 1366 socket is a lot bigger and its very hard to insulate with the erasers to ensure the socket is air tight.




    Little faber-Castell Art erasers around the cpu head enclosure to ensure a air tight seal to the other service









    And some pics of the Frozen SS im in the middle of tunning, these i7 cpu’s are heat monsters running hyper threading.













    Wprime 1024Mb runs the PC was measuring 455w power draw from the mains socket using 1.48v @4434MHz 186sec. Hyper threading turned off power draw was only 370W and a fair bit slower even with the higher clocks: 4576Mhz @1.53v 260sec.








    For 3dmark similar thing, a lot hotter running hyper threading but not much difference in score overall. Hyper threading gave a better result at a lower overclock.








    4660MHz validation, wish I can get 1core with the 22x working?? Anyone got it working on the gigabyte mobos??

    http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=477259





    1mb SPi 8.859 sec





    32m SP 7m 57.609 sec





    32mb Wprime 5.827 sec

    Nice Nice Nice

    Kayl you do very nice work. I enjoyed looking thru your thread, it makes me think about considering a Vapor Phase Change Cooling system but then again I was not paying enough attention in science class.

    Heres my SS unit that Kayl built me

    I know my pics aren't that good.





    I'm very happy with my unit and i'll hook it up to my PC on Thursday (when I get a day off school).

    amazing what spare parts can do, that case is actually from the first cascade design a few years ago, was the HX section of the cacade with the cascade sitting ontop
    http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...t=97321&page=2 9 (the bottom section)

    cant wait to see the results fatguy1992

    Well I got 4.545GHz on my Q6600 when I first gave it a shot, but I didn't get a chance this time so its going to be a while before I have time again. Next time I'm aiming for 4.7GHz (yes I have a really good Q6600). I only got 4.94GHz on me E8500 cause my UD3R (which i'd only got 1 day before I started benching) had a c*** FSB wall, but since i'v gone back to air i'v flashed the BIOS and its all good again same story for my E5200.


    Thanks

    Some pics of the system almost finished.
    Strapped some fans to the compressor for additional cooling, this 2hp compressor runs hot

    Got the system up and running tonight finally, stripped my GTX280, lacered the card. Insulated and put system together. SO far there doesnt appear to be any condensation forming on the card. Only been benching 30mins, results to come Friday

    re did the insulation this time no erasers on the gpu card as it was sweeting too before

    this time one layer 3mm then mounting bolts then a second layer worked well

















    found the vmod on XS, but it didnt increase my overclock at all
    stock was 1.068v, at 1.25v the system wasnt clocking as well
    stock
    stok load voltages were 1.2v
    seem colder temps reflected better oc than increase in volts
    love to see this card on ln2.
    i also tried the evga software vmod which SHOWED correct voltages at idle, but load volts dropped back stock @ 1.2v no matter what i set it to.
    so vmod is the only true voltage increase for this card









    Number 3 rank on hwbot for single GTX 280 vantage 16509
