Seems like a dead thread so lets do a bump
Sorry for not livestreaming one of my previous sessions but I had to bench for AOOC and didnt have time to set up the livestreaming xD

Now that AOOC is over I think I can do some stuff

Upcoming livestreaming with 3570K, Msi Z77 Mpower and Msi 650Ti Boost Pe/Oc

can we have some pics instead?!

i was hoping this thread would be full of LN2, dice and those big freezing pots!

ive never seen it in action and never seen results so im very interested in the how, what and wohooo

FireKillerGR · May 16, 2013

ok photos + videos

Lets start

Soldering Epower on GTX Titan

First test under water to see that card is still working

Ready to shoot some scores with LN2

13301 marks on 3DMark Fire Strike

18495 marks on 3DMark11

Superipi's test setup

And one score from Mortisboy who didnt make it for Moscow's finals :/

Ah forgot xD
Wanna thank Corsair for support and Asus for the great competition

We (me and my teammate phil) managed to be in top 12 (8th) and will attend in Moscow for the finals

For more info and scores have a look over here:

It's been a while since I have had some "extreme" clocking. I need to order a new DICE/LN2 pot and have some fun.

Some of my older stuff below. Tons of fun I really need to get back into it.

Athlon II X2 250

Phenom II X2 550BE (my first 5ghz AMD)

CL6 1800mhz on AMD

and this was my original DICE bench. An ES 945BE chip I shouldn't have had, some grocery store DICE and the OEM aluminum cooler off of a random AMD chip.

almost 5ghz :shadedshu

Nice

If you want a pot maybe I can help you get one in a better price

PM please? My pot built by N3RO has since been misplaced in 3 to 4 moves.

wow!

that set up looks uber cool!

those components still alive?

either of ya!

im glad this thread has some life now! whats the putty you put on the boards?!

this is making me want to try it! but i doubt many places in the UK do stuff like this.

however im in the building trade and probably get my hands on some stuff that most cant.

just not sure where i could get LN2 or dice from, maybe i could start with a watercooled set up. and hijack a freezer or get the loop through ice.

Yeah, I need one too. Did spring cleaning in the garage last week, realized last night I tossed out my pot and LN2 thermos.

:banghead:

At least my garage is nice and clean and ready for benching.

get custom water loop, replace res with bucket full of ice...good way to stick your toe in the waters.

DICE and alcohol/acetone works well, too, easy to manage. For me, LN2 requires a second set of hands.

d1nky · May 16, 2013

sounds awesome! ive got to try this!

more pics pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

and for a noob, whats the best bench platform? i see a few guys with proper test beds and some straight on wood surfaces.

FireKillerGR · May 16, 2013

Hey guys

Glad to see this thread active again ^^

@dave. You want one pot aswell?

Maybe my friend Roman can do smth for you too

As for xtreme cooling. Grab one fridge like this:
http://stevelundeberg.mvourtown.com/files/2009/09/Styrofoam-cooler.jpg

aka styrofoam cooler/fridge. Then you can go and buy some Kilos of dry ice and start messing around
You can make a pot which will be good for dice (almost good) but if I were you I would buy one for the next years

Also many would say to start overclocking a s775 platform with a E8x00 or a celeron. But I would prefer benching with an intel cpu like 2x00K or even an ivy-bridge.
Processors die only with huge voltage

Voltages I use:
Air less than 1.35v
Water still less than 1.35v xD
Dice (-75C~) less than 1.6v
Single Stage (-40C ~) less than 1.55v
Cascade (-100C ~) less than 1.75v
Ln2 (-192C depending on pot) less than 1.92v is fine for me

I will have to dig pics up of my cold water setup. On the bench platform thing mine is a display special from micro center a while ago. I would get s good bench station of some sort to start with.

FireKillerGR · May 17, 2013

oh c'mon I forgot to answer this question xD

The most popular benchtables are made from Dimastech.
I bought dimastech easy white v2.5 a year ago and I use it for my 24/7 system, reviews and overclocking session

FireKillerGR · Jun 14, 2013

Just an update with some photos.

Lets start:

mine and phil's system benching 3DMark firstrike:

and score:

my friend's Roberto's systme, benching SuperPi 32M:

his score:

Nacho's system:

and his score:

finally Bryan's monster folding machine:

Result of this beast when it comes to cinebench:

and last but not least, the beauties made by my friend Der8auer:

These scores helped us get third place on Pro OC Cup of hwbot.org

HammerON · Jun 15, 2013

Awesome!!!
Thanks for sharing :toast:

FireKillerGR · Jun 15, 2013

No problem

d1nky · Jun 15, 2013

how come some guys i see have fans blowing the gas from the pot on to components and the majority have the vapour blowing away?

blowing away seems obvious but why towards? extra cooling?

FireKillerGR · Jun 15, 2013

nope, trying to limit static air so it will not turn into ice.
Without fans ice will be all over the place

thats why using good fans (100+ Cfm) helps to solve that problem.

FireKillerGR · Jun 16, 2013

If anyone wants help getting xtreme cooling gear let me know. Can help you find them on the internet and order what you need.
Also for explanations about xtreme oc and cooling please post here ^^

The fan dissipates the gas so you can see levels on LN2 or alcohol when using dry ice
