Nice score.
Looks like Ln2 may be needed to beat you guys. Some good scores!
^^^^^ 1.73v on water how is that thing not dead yet????
That isn't right. Its sitting around 1.75 - 1.8v. Not sure why it read so low for that run...
untouched.Delidded? I've seen 1.85v done on a Hyper 212 evo delidded, with 0c ambient temp.
That's a complicated subject. With a standard (solid, no-heatpipe) heatsink deltaT die to air should remain fairly static as ambient temp changes.
However, heatpipe efficiency is best in a certain window. Using water as the working fluid (which computer heatpipes do) means that the best efficiency is had starting at around 40c up through right around 100c. Mind you that's heatpipe temps, which are rarely much over the ambient.
Below 40c the efficiency drops off, until at 0c (again, heatpipe temp) it drops to zero when the water inside the heatpipes freezes.
Just above 0c the heatpipe functions, but rather poorly.
For really cold ambient benching a solid copper heatsink with a ton of airflow will stomp a heatpipe heatsink into the ground.
If you use ammonia in heatpipes the efficiency window starts at something more like -30c or -40c if I recall correctly. Unfortunately due to the substantially higher cost (for ammonia, also for safe handling of ammonia and licenses and such) you won't find any heatsinks that use it.
Ambient still matters heavily with heatpipes, but the difference between a 15c ambient and a 5c ambient isn't nearly as large as 25c to 15c.
untouched.
Updated!! ChanceCoats123 is now leading the AMD Division! Lots of good scores everyone in the last few days!!
Looks nice! Did you just put some Dice directly on your RAM?
