TRAPPED UNDER ICE --- Charlie hammers on FX-55

[Onepagebook]

ma...you really let Gskill swimming..

[uclajd]

lol... yeah, tommorrow I'm going to grab a can of brake degreaser or some dielectric degreaser spray and see if i can't clean it up

I've been using so much degreaser lately to remove TIM, my hands are chapped from it. Damn stuff is freezing.

BTW, if you used alkiehawl, there'd be no cleanup - just wait for it to evaporate, maybe a little canned air.

Charlie, what about some of the fluids mentioned here:

Fluid immersion

ver very nice work charlie

[G H Z]

Nice

To bad you didnt' hit the WR...sooooo close too. You shoulda ran some 3D @ 3.6ghz first then went for the top

Nice very nice, liked the thread layout as well.

[P_1]

have you tried putting the oil on top of the ln2 to sort of insulate it so that when it evaps it will just stay there and not run out?(that is of course if the oil is less dense then the ln2)

[twilius_basic]

Charlie, an idea...

Looking at you pic HERE of your big LN2 container, I had an idea. The base of your container is quite big, coming pretty close to the bordering caps, and probably also helping to make them colder = bad when using LN2. If you used one of Chilly1's CPU units, which are like a cylinder and have no base sticking out to the sides, keeping all the cold right over the CPU, would that possibly help? I know the oil would help transfer cold to the caps anyway, but maybe not so much if the frozen base wasn't so close to them. Just a thought
Also, I've heard that 1/2" base is best for LN2 use, but yours is thicker than that, looks like 3/4" to 1". Maybe a thinner base might help too?

Cheers!

yeah, good ideas... I'm certainly hoping to try one of Chilly1's LN2 units. And my current unit has a 5/8" base, possibly too thick, as I noticed it took TOO LONG to cool the CPU.

Just a note, I used OIL to protect the board, not to freeze it...the -10C temps were just a bONUS
Plus, I didn't want anything stinky or toxic or whatever...
I've had the board standing on it's side for 24 hours now, and it's still dripping!

Maybe you should try using a hairdryer. That stuff gets thinner (more viscous) the hotter it gets right?

[jopers1986]

Starting to see seriously cold temps... way past the Cascade boys
Blasted by 3600Mhz!!
And this is IHS temperature, NOT the base temp!!

what does cascade mean?

[WiCKeD]

Awesome, charlie! Ingenuitive. Love the title, too.

Think there is really something to at least looking at whether alcohol could be used... No mess and all your components get a free bath!

PCP&C would be good next time... Pulling that much juice you would want to go with the best.

This site was recommended over @ EOCF to buy the LanParty SLI or Ultra. It was in stock - the UltraD is still available (link may change):

I'll have to look at getting some of that oil to shutup my PSU fan...

what does cascade mean?

A cascade is a cooling unit similar to a Vapochill, but functions like a Vapochill cooling a Vapochill, cooling another vapochill.... and gives real nice low temps, maybe -80C or colder

[jopers1986]

ooooo tasty! he-he thanks proper good job too :

[conrad.maranan]

Belated congratulations, charlie. I've been busy with work so I just saw this now.

[STEvil]

if you have a hacksaw you can chop off the part of the block that was too close to the caps

Maybe some insulation around the base so it doesnt touch the oil as much would help?

[reject]

is it ASUS going for 4ghz? just a guess since they had the 5ghz p4 quite a while ago
but then the A8N cant go past 290mhz

[TheJackal]

thats some nice oc'ing

Really? That's funny, since I've been running mine up to 330HT. Running it 312HT for daily use.

[HaLDoL]

Couldn't it be that there was condensation on the -10°C liquid? And that the condensation killed something?

[JacobHansen]

I am building one my self again. With a base of 15mm, and a weight of 1.210KG. Heres 2 pics, is that what you mean with a base in a Cylinder form? sorry for the big pictures..

Nice looking container there Jacob That is what we meant by cylindrical base, yes. Take a look at Chilly1's unit(s) in the DI/LN2 section to see how he did his.

GL with your new container, it looks very nice

[JacobHansen]

'Ok - I thought so

Yeah im looking forward to it also.. Hopeing to be at the same "height" as Chilly´s awsome containers.. Performance-wise..

Charlie - Btw.. Nice results..

[godsa]

Great job Charlie..and I really enjoyed your writings ...very suspenseful

When do you think you will try something like this again? Year?

That was a test run You will get the Wr next time

[osipower]

nice work
