2 new containers

[LardArse]

Finishing up 2 containers for LN2

The GPU container:









Unfortunately, the immense mass of the container made it very difficult for every part to be hot enough for the filler metal to flow evenly, especially so since brazing on the stove is not very possible. I just discovered a very slight leak. Will patch up with silicone and have a catch below so that if any LN2 trickles down it should evaporate pretty quickly on the catch.


The CPU container...









Need to catch a good source for LN2 then its party time!

[pythagoras]

Nice containers Slightly OT but how much water can the cpu tube hold? And would you fancy carrying out a little experiment whilst your waiting for the LN2 to arrive

Regards

John.

Looking good.... keep the good work..

We want marks

Good job Shamino

Hey Shamino

Nice containers, .. What are the measurements for the big tube and that are the inside measurements for the GPU Container.. ?

Im planing on something similiar although my Containers will be DANISH aswell as the records ) *kidding*

[LardArse]

The cpu container is huge, never really measured how big but its BIG It will be mounted like this:



I just need to mill a groove to clear some caps... and cut off a bit of the NB HSF

The gpu containeris this long



I can get LN2 quite cheap it seems, $1.50/L, but I have to get 50L minimum at one go

[LardArse]

Just about good to go

[cold_ice]

Awesome pics, these containers are really huge!
good luck with the LN2

[arj]

Nice! Can sell the containers to me after you're done playing with em'?

My current container ain't that great. The base is very thin, can't hold the temp very well. I've got my FX to 3Ghz but can't bench at all, even at stock speed! Dunno whether it's because of the container or something else.....

[LardArse]

VR-Zone Team met up at VR office last night for a midnight LN2 session. Didn't manage to break any records, CPU and especially GFX card went way mad at the temps...













The CPU goes a lil mad being detected as 1.7G



Now we know why so little people bench 3D with LN2... its just really tough and a tad too cold to control on the GFX...
Another tank of LN2 to go once we tighten up insulation

[Poki]

Man if that's a 3.4ee at those speeds i would love to see a 3d01 run.
Looks like it's a pain but has to be loads of fun!
GL and be safe

[gkiing]

Looks like you got yourself a little bit of condensation

[cold_ice]

Lol nice pics
A little bit frost on the card, and mobo

[koensa]

isnt al that condensation ( even water!) bad for the elekriek components?
cuz water is conductive!?

This is ice, which is just frozen pure H20, which is NOT conductive.
It's insulated anyway

[Unknown_road]

well think you're the first one to put a 1.7Ghz cpu @ 5.2 ghz lol! nice job!

[Bennah]

Get your self one of them 3.6 P4's and go after the team akiba's 6GHz record

[charlie]

No, it actually IS the water making the board/Graphics freak out... it's happened to me 100x.... just insulate better! And I don't care what ANYONE says.... when frost melts to water and slides under capacitors, it's conductive! Maybe it picks up impurities off the pcb or whatever, but it DOES>

Yeah, I've heard about that. But, judging by the pictures, this frost isn't going to melt anytime soon

[LardArse]

Well just couldn't get 3D to work right, quite a nightmare using LN2 on the GPU


All the insulation on the card seems to be futile, even the vmod wires are frosted



Even the DVI conector area is frosted



Lowest the GPU overdrive will go is -128C it seems



Lowest I got a picture of the container is -192C



Have a 5277Mhz screenie on the office Hard disk, no impressive numbers, but we still had a lot of fun using the LN2 on a lot of "other stuff"

Think I'll stick with cascade cooling for now, at least on the GPU.

[LardArse]

I think the caps get too cold.

[JacobHansen]

If id do something like that ( which i will in the following weeks ) then id Insulate the motherboard so bad, that you only can se the CPU and the mods. Its IMO ( no offense LardArse ) very riski just to run without haveing insulated the GFX at all it seems.

But Its sure´s Hell nice to watch

[LardArse]

I have, the uninsulated card is just to try out the clamping. The frost is actually on top of the insulative seal string

[JacobHansen]

ohh - My bad, I just cant see it on the pictures. Sorry m8

[saaya]

hmmm maybe you should try it in a sealed box with no air humidity... maybe that helps.

there are may ways to reduce the air humidity to 0 easily. then just make two holes in the box so the container heads look out of it so you can refill them.

and you need a 3.6ghz prescott to make use of the ln2 you need the multi!

still very nice, and the pics are really funny! hahahah all the ice and the ati driver shot at -128C gpu temp are hilarious!

good work!
