Very nice job
Happy to report that i've just been sent two tubes ready for SLI benching action this weekend on 8800GTXs.
Impressive chunkiness in the base, but i think the aluminium tube need not have been so thick walled.
The internal diameter of the tube is a little restrictive when thinking about the size of DICE pellets/chunks, but will see this weekend the real story.
My package also contained sheets of foam not included in the photos.
Supplied MCW-60 MOunting kit plates do not fit around the mounting face, so will stick with the supplied mild steel plates.

Good to know that, TIM. Have a go @ it and let us know![]()
thanxs for that tip there T_M, cant wait to see your results he with the 8800’s.
The tubes im getting made now will have skinnier walls so its a little easier to stick the dice pellets in
I couldn’t make the actual tube wider as I wanted to use 19mm thick insulation. A wider tube would mean they couldn’t be used for SLI.
THe G80 adaptor kit was an after though from Young_pro, it has all the springs n stuff.
I guess you could use it for the back plate if you wanted.

Seems that my QX6700 cold bugged around -150c.
I kept it between -140c to -145c to be safe
Only had 10 litres of Ln2 so didn’t get much benching done

Must have been a max of 1.7 Vcore on that mobo yes ?![]()
New tubes with the 2900 face
Also new cpu tube copper base slightly taller with added base surface area, and total length of tube reduced to 200mm.
![]()
Those new bases for the CPU tubes are very very nice
Do the new bases work with the old alu tubes? I.E: could users upgrade their bases as you develop the idea?
yeah that do, the aluminium cost bugger all compared to the copper part though.
I had a Lan part demo on Saturday, but it fell through so I was stuck with 30L to use.
Didn’t get off to a good start as I fried my GIG X38T DQ6, and then decided to start playing with a ASUS P5b deluxe I just got, Did LN2 on the cpu, cpu could run -150c without cold bugging just fine but couldn’t do the highest fsb speeds with my E8500. That was it for Friday. Then Saturday night I then decided to do the vcore, vdroop, vmem and vmch mods and put a dice pot on the NBI was running cpu at close to -150c @ 1.9v and nb around 1.75v.Not sure if it was my mobo or the E8500 but was FSB limited at around 560FSB with the 9.5X. I will be doing some more test with the mobo (only got it Thursday first tested on ln2) but in a months time will be doing another ln2 run
With limited time I decided to install the QX9650 for some benching. Seems that the QX9650 didn’t play well at all in the ASUS P5b Deluxe even 400 FSB it wasn’t booting.
I decided to boot at 333FSB and use the 15x multi and now things were cooking.
I could also boot with the 16X multi but for some reason when I used the 16x multi CPUz wouldn’t load and was forced to use the 15x multi.
The QX9650 either doesn’t have a cold boot bu, or this issue is only related to the new mobos I think???
The QX9650 would crash in windows at around -145c but happly boot at -150c ???
I ran the Nb at around -30c, it would handle -50 to -60c but I didn’t want to run it too cold as it would cause condensation troubles down the track. At -76c on the NB the system would blue screen and shut down and then would need to wait to -50c to reboot.
I know the NB temps reported in bios are incorrect though heheh even with -50c it wouldn’t go any colder that 35c
Didn’t get much results though sadly run out of time and still had heaps of Ln2 left unused
.
Max validation was 5670 validation 2cores and only around 5.4X 4cores.

shame about FSB issues
that chip is VERY good considering the cold bug at -150C wow![]()

Hey Kayl , whats up ? long time since ...
good work man , awesome to sth from you again
good weekend
Tried my i7 950 on ln2, and GTX 280 as well, but there is a low cold bug on my i950 which makes benching hard.
Nice video though here, first pour of the night, i love the way the ln2 boils inside the souther cross holes.

Thanks for posting, cool vid![]()
how was the temp control, pouring wise?
