Going for a Ghz on water-Palit 8800 GT 1GB

[Wile E]

their ya go that should work excellently...whanna know what else you could do?..if you cant get the TEC block to fit you might be able to jurry rig the TEC to cool the radiator.

TEC block fits fine, just need to find a damn replacement TEC for it. lol. That's proving harder than you would imagine. If the SOB would fit a 50x50mm TEC, I'd already have a 236W TEC on the way. I think I'm gonna take some measurements, and see If I can't squeeze a 50mm TEC in there anyway. Might only have to come up with a custom mounting bracket for the block or something.

What do you think of the ice water res idea?

i think it would work but it would need more work for it to work plus i think you'd lose some of the efficiency through the RAD (something to do with pascals law IIRC)

good call i hadent thought of that..i imagined his res went directly to the cpu and cards and the rad was last in the loop.

Bro, I'll read this one later since I just subscribed to it... Great job!

Ahhh shit. Hadn't thought of that. Yeah, the rad would just add heat compared to ice water.

I meant the stuff that's designed to be used on water pipes and such. Just slips over the tubing.

if you can get the stuff we use on AC lines in cars, that would work great - it insulates the lines quite well, and relocates areas that produce condensation - besides, it takes longer for condensation to build up on rubber tubing that it does on metal components.

i think the easiest thing for you to try ATM is the RAD submerged in ice water

just my $0.02

ya good call

Yeah, I think I agree.

 

[intel igent]

just stuff some paper towels around the GFX block so IF there is any condensation you catch it

you could also hit the board with a little conformal coating spray if you want but i think condensation will be minimal.......

 

[Solaris17]

if any condensation most of it will be on the hose right after the rad it will dissapate and spread while it runs through the hose after that.

I'm adding a Vantage bench to the first post. I forgot I squeezed one off at 950Mhz core. It's good for the top Single 8800GT score in the ORB. Do a search for 8800GT gfx cards, and single card for the Cooperative graphics Adapter option, and I'm on top by almost 300pts.

 

[Solaris17]

congrats dude sweet.

nice work, man!

very nice Wile E!

 

[Wile E]

Thanks guys. Makes it all worth it.

VERY possible, good point

Thanks guys. Makes it all worth it.

aint no thing Wile E all we ask in return is a blistering 1ghz GPU clock

 

[Cold Storm]

I look at it this way... Where going to be able to talk about this for TIME TO COME! I'm just glad he's allowing us and talking with us about this.. Now, I know a little more about cooling a GPU with water!!

Thanks

Ok, little update. I only caught a couple hour nap last night, so I could get up and test my remaining 3 cards, as today the temps have been decent and manageable. All I needed was a fan in the window. Spent all morn and the better part of this afternoon testing.

Unfortunately, I haven't made any progress. The best clocker is still the original card. The other 3 showed some promise early on, as they scaled better at lower voltages. Unfortunately, all of them hit a brick wall at about 925Mhz. No amount of tweaking or voltage would take them higher.

Looks like I'm gonna have to find a way to get this bugger cold.

Please, for the love of God, if anyone knows where to get a replacement 40x40mm 12V 188W TEC for the MCW60-T please link it.

 

[Wile E]

Just tried again. It's night time, and my idle temps were down by 10C. I got to the same 950Mhz again. *sigh*

a few link's for TEC's 40mm is there on the page somewhere.........

i dont mean to jack this wile-e will respect the request can someon tell me EXACTLY what i need to run a TEC setup? wattage and stuff doesnt matter ill figure that out later..i plan on using it for procs if that makes it any easier. to give me a guide..

TEC
special PSU?
water cooling to cool TEC?

i just need ideas...i see they make 12v TEC units would that run off my PSU? it should right?

sorry for the jack im sure wile-e wont mind one modder to the next.

thats good but iv read most..though their were some things i wasnt aware of..maybe ill start a thread..

sorry wile-e
