Any good way of raising temps on phase?

[Strida]

Well my DD system is done but my processor is cold-bugged! I was wondering if I could undercharge the system to raise temps or if that wouldn't work -- it's just an idea I guess.

Temps right now:
- (less than) 50C evaporator
- 35C processor
- 20C processor load

Bro, I hate to say this, but your best bet with a CAB2E is to get rid of it...its a great air cpu, but just far from optimal for you cooling. It does lend itself to a perfect trade opportunity if you can find one. ;)

You can try using the ACPI Multiprocessor CPU, or more drastic, the MPS Multiprocessor CPU, along with a low drive strength to boost temps some. Physical mods I've seen are usually putting a couple of resistors on the sides of the evap, effectively adding a greater load to it.

Those are great temps, btw. :thup:

I'll pursue the swap idea in the classifieds, but for now with the ram I have (in sig) what drive strength should I use? In my DFI options I have like:

2 weak
2 strong
3 weak
3 strong
etc. etc.

try the weaker drive strengths and see if that helps out any.

sadly like Gautam said the cab2e suck for subzero (got a fx57 cab2e like a month ago :bang head )

some people put foil and things between the evap head and ihs to give the cpu higher temps that might be worth a try

Ha, that's a great idea! I might just do that.

Well I should have a late-week CABNE coming from a trade. Evidently it doesn't clock as well as my current CPU, but that's on air. If it doesn't present a cold-bug problem, then I should get it up to at least my old watercooling speeds with this CAB2E.

Overcharging the system will also raise the evap temp, just be carefull not to get liquid going back to the compressor.
