I knew about it not being a 24/7 setup, I can get dryice at a local ice cream distributor here, I was just owndering about prices. Thanks guys. And Dominick, how much is a good phase change setup?

Sean,
I would recommend the member Jinu117 for a killer phase change setup. He is currently modifying my Vapochill Lightspeed with a new compressor, re-gas, re-tune, panaflo fans, and a desuperheater. It should lower actual temps a good 10 to 15 degrees on the evap.

Jinu makes custom single stage phase change units that he retails for anywhere from $600 to $800 depending on the configuration. His screen name on this board is Jinu117. You can get a killer unit for around $650.

The other choice is what myself and Epox have: Vapochill LS or a Prometia MachI. They both retail for around $1000 :bang head but can be purchased used for around $350 to $600 depending on condition.

The setups I mentioned are single stage setups and should get you LCD temps of around -47*C to -52*C idling at stock voltage on the CPU. And around -58 to -60*C unloaded in ambient air. The LCD temp readouts are very inaccurate so expect to have temps 10 to 20 degrees different than the readout.

My example: My LCD evap readout is -45*C idle. My actual idle CPU temps are -29*C. That is a difference of 16*C from the Vapos LCD. Anyway, when talking single stage phase change we're talking 24/7 365 days a year usage with little to no issues at all. Best bang for the buck cooling. 80% to 100% overclocks are not so few and far between anymore with these.

If you are looking for an ultimate phase cooling device, than look into a custom Cascade Unit. These are multi stage phase change units that bring evap temps close to and sometimes higher than Dry Ice to -90*C to -115*C actual temps. They are very expensive at around $1500 to $2500 average and life expectancy is not always that great.

Thats why a Vapo/Mach or single stage is the way to go. Definitely contact Jinu117 on these boards. He is a pure phase GURU...

Nice job Epox and congrats on both SPi times!! Maybe I need to get some DI fired up soon and see what mine will do on it. 4.65GHz for 32M is outstanding!

Yes I do...guess I should update my non-existent sig, eh? :)

Prolly wouldnt be a bad idea ;)

Cant wait to see some more results ?

Epox, how fast are you running the ram ? Can you get it any faster ?
 
Kick A$$ !!

.


:thup: Epox !!!

your REALLY starting to scare me :eek:



:beer:



please try to add MemSet and or a 2nd CPU-Z to your (next set of) screen-shots so we can see what your RAM is doing

Sanded down the base of my 3" brazed copper pot, now it won't hit the caps on the motherboard, I just need more dry ice so I can give it a try.
