The AMD frozen dare is almost done!!!

[DaMulta]

So the plan is to take my 17 volt 188watt TEC VGA block and use it on my new AMD Black 5000.
The chip is brand new and has only been on for about 10 mins tops under normal conditions.​

This is what I used on the motherboard

This is the back of the motherboad before

First coat

The front before hand"As you can see I'M LEARNING SOME NEW CAMERA SETTINGS"

But I also tried some others....

After the coat

This is what when on top of the eletrical dip

top This has two layers of tape, and 3 around the CPU.

This is what I like to call the crazy scray part of the whole thing"de-electrical Grease"

I should of gotten more pics of this. I used the original HSF holder and cut some hevey card board to fit for this. It is on very tight BTW.​

Cover the back again

Due to me being on a generator tonight, so there will be no testing:shadedshu
Lost power tonight with a storm that blew in. Plus I don't have the relay in, and
that will be in ASAP.​

 

[hat]

wow... that's a lot of effort :/

 

[Hawk1]

Nice pics. Hope all goes well this time (I know I dont have the balls to try it once. Maybe 3 times a charm for you lol).

 

[DaMulta]

wow... that's a lot of effort :/

Yes it took me a while to do this. I have been on and off it it for about 4 or 5 hours.

 

[Batou1986]

here we go again this shot of jager's to your good luck

as for you camera 1 suggestion MACRO

 

[nflesher87]

yikes, you are either really brave...or really dumb

 

[DaMulta]

LOL nflesher87

 

[DrunkenMafia]

make sure you wait for the relay bro. I have read some bad stories about not using relays lately....

 

[GLD]

Damn D! Your Freakin' HARDCORE!

 

[DaMulta]

Look at my sig DrunkenMafia hahaha

Sweetness. If the TEC proves to be not strong enough, you could always try stacking the second one in there.

 

[DaMulta]

The CPU is only 65 watts

It should be really cold.

65W stock, not overvolted to the max. lol. Besides, the colder the better, right?

 

[DaMulta]

Well of course.

On my X1950XTX when it was just sitting there it would get down to -2C

 

[DaMulta]

I wonder if they fix the power outage at my house yet. The storm took down 2 power lines last night.

I'm ready to play

 

[JrRacinFan]

Oh man, You get your relays installed?

Hurry up Electric co. I wanna see some hardcore pics!!!!

 

[regan1985]

this is hardcore fair play to you its not your 1st time is it

im sure it will work 1st time, only prob is think of the overclock you will get!after that your be trying to get the same clock on water and you wont be able to

good idea tho all the best bud hope u get a record

*thumbs up*

Sweetness. If the TEC proves to be not strong enough, you could always try stacking the second one in there.

Due to the horrible effciency of TECs you would be better off just using one TEC vs two of the same stacked on top. They produce more heat than they cool so therefore the second TEC would have to be much more powerful to completly cool the first.

Aren't cpu blocks better at heat transfer than gpu blocks?

 

[DaMulta]

I don't see why they would be Kenny. To me they are the same thing almost.

 

[Darknova]

I see bad things happening lol. Too many bad stories with stuff like this recently...

 

[KennyT772]

DaMulta, coming from a physics and chemisty background, There is no way a TEC can absorb (or cool) more watts than it expends (heat). TECs work by running a current through two metal different metal plates, one getting hot and one getting cold. The hot side will always have a higher temperature delta than the cold side, due to inefficiencies. I do not know exact numbers so I will go hypothetical to show my point.

Say you are using a gold and silver TEC. It draws 200w at 12v. Because nothing is 100% effcient there will be loss in the process of cooling the cold plate. Out of the if you try to cool 200w of heat with this tec there will be the amount of heat created by what you are cooling + the heat output of the hot plate by itself. The way you get things below ambient is by having more cooling power than what you are cooling (example a 65w cpu with a 188w tec). If you max out a tec, what you are cooling will be at room temp, with all of the TECs heat plus the cpus heat being output.

Back to the topic at hand. For stacking TECs to work the second tec would have to cool the first, along with the cpu too. You can only make tecs so strong, so that is why cascade cooling is used along with ln2 by the record setters.

 

[t_ski]

Yeah, stacking tecs would be bad. You can find a bigger one fairly cheap online/ebay.

 

[DaMulta]

I never said i was going to stack them......Plus I burned up my other 188 Watt TEC.

My rad can dispense 1200 watts they say.

What are you talking about Kenny?

 

[KennyT772]

Stacking tecs. I was simply giving an example as to why stacking them would be bad as you mentioned and Wile E mentioned.

My other comment was questioning your use of a GPU block in place of a CPU block. A jet imprigent block with a strong pump should give better performance than any gpu block. A cooler tec = cooler cpu.
