I hear ya bro, only thing is I either post cold or not at all, simply not set up for ambient

could bolt on an Intel stock I guess

But do not really look at this as a win or lose competition , just having fun with other members

Well I can say people going cold in these comps motivated me to push harder and start going cold myself! :thup:

what it does do is motivate a learning experience! that is what these are all about. I know Im not going to win any of them as I dont own the hardware to win, but I have fun is running the benches and learning and sometimes helping others when I can

Agreed!

EarthDog · Apr 9, 2015

Yes, dejo, same here! That doesn't change the fact that I try not to run cold for this type of stuff. I just choose not to do it since everyone but two/three people are running sub ambient. PEDs are not banned here!! :rofl:

dejo · Apr 9, 2015

you can learn at any clock speed. for me when I bench, I want boints

Witchdoctor · Apr 9, 2015

Boints are good :thup:

Johan45 · Apr 9, 2015

I'm glad everyone is having fun at this.
Off topic but has anyone seen Funsoul around lately?

Hiya Dolk!

Tia for your order! Apologies for not responding quicker, life's been a bit hectic lately.

Am 95% certain that we have an extra medium already in hand (so won't have to wait until we have 4 more interested parties). Only issue is that I'm out of town until next Sunday so won't be able to get a shirt out to you until the following Saturday. Hope that's ok.

I'll drop you a pm when I'm back home and we can take it from there. Cool?

Thanks again!!

Witchdoctor · Apr 9, 2015

Now that you say that, no I haven't ???

I was thinking he would make the get together since he is only a few hours away.

Hope everything is OK

I think I need to have the services of the Witchdoctor. I think my computer hates me

I know the rules but I was hoping to lower my water temps with some dice. On Tuesday, I picked up 1 block of dice to try and see what I/it might accomplish. My first time with dice
I put a washcloth on my 290X and placed a 2" x 3" block on it (I have a blue back plate) but still didn't change the temp when OCed

I put a small bit on top of my memory. Still didn't change the memories capabilities

I used a big block underneath the reservoir. I was afraid that I might freeze my coolant as it's only rated for -6c and dice is -100c. Still didn't change my WC loop capability

Using the last bits in the bag, I place the bag on top of my tubing. No change

I spent Wednesday in bed recovering. (I hate being sick) This is my first time up, so that I can ask what I did wrong???

Thank You For You Time
In Reading And Helping

The cold, or not enough was getting to it/the right places.

Johan45 · Apr 9, 2015

If you want to do something like that maddmutt you'll need to be able to submerge your rad/res in ice water or something. That would likely work better. Mandrake did some experimentin with DICE in a bucket and his rad. Only froze it a couple times. ha ha. Check out the just putzen thread. There are a lot of funky things that have went down and that's where we AMD clowns talked about it.

Mandrake4565 · Apr 9, 2015

Well my mistake was using a cooling coil and submerging it in a mixture of acetone and DICE, can you say instant freeze! What does work and will get the water temps to around -15 to -20c is taking the fans off the radiator and surrounding the rad with DICE. Note you will need coolant in the lines though.
