Dry Ice run #3 with my "new" 4790k!

[Lays]

Can someone explain what the OP did?

 

 

 

>Insulated motherboard with kneadable eraser to prevent condensation from getting onto the motherboard

 

>Put giant metal container with extremely heavy copper base & holes in it

 

>Pour a little bit of Acetone into giant metal container

 

>Crush up dry ice, pour dry ice into giant metal container

 

>Giant metal container cools CPU to around -60 Celsius

 

>push voltage & overclock the shit out of CPU

 

 

>profit

I think you're guaranteed to kill the CPU sooner or later, no offence.

 

 

Considering you're asking what's going on because you don't have a clue, how would you know if the CPU is going to die?

 

 

"no offence"

[Lays]

Because you're literally freezing it with ice.

 

 

 

Condensation would be the only thing that can kill it, and the entire board & CPU are sealed away from that.

 

I seal around the IHS so that no moisture can get into the socket as well.

 

 

 

[BlackXbonE]

Woah... I want that too

[TheGamingBarrel]

There is a CPU Pot...

[BlackXbonE]

I guess it wouldn't be very economic giong for a 24/7 dry ice oc, would it? ^^

 

how much does this stuff actually cost(without mobo/cpu)?

He got the insulation, pot and thermal probe for $160, then he had to buy dry ice.

EVERYTHING I needed listed below:

 

 

 

Kingpin F1 Gemini 2.0 LN2 pot, Insulation & thermal probe for temperature monitoring-  $160 used on overclock.net

 

 

Acetone, 2 things of blue shop towels, kneadable eraser, painters tape, rubber bands - ~$30-40  @ home depot & a craft store

 

 

Dry ice itself - $1.39 a pound at the Fred Meyers next to my house ( they sell 10 pound chunks usually)

 

 

 

 

The acetone & all those other supplies will last an extremely long time, probably 10-30 runs of DICE.

The Ln2 pot will last forever as it's solid copper & aluminum, and has the same resell value that I bought it at.

 

10 pounds of dice lasts about 4-6 hours of benching

Jelly AF About the price of dry ice, here it is £25 for 2KG

I was so tempted to keep that cpu but I was too invested in X99 already

 

This is my in-progress build for like 6 months...lol. Good news is I think all the parts work this time.

I may be getting an mATX board if Asrock does what they're talking about in December

[ProKoN]

Im glad brett discovered that chip and it received the proper treatment.

 

bretts down to "no tricks" but im inviting him to the next dumpster dive.

I wish I had funding for Ln2, I really think if it doesn't cold bug super easily that I could break a lot of the 4790k scores if I had a good kit of PSC

[Lays]

Rumours about adding an extra layer to the PCB specifically for the memory traces, having 2 memory slots and having them closer to the CPU socket.

It will allow for absolutely insane memory overclocks, like 4000+ mhz C11 and C12

(This will be on the Z170 OC Formula mATX if what I've heard is true)

 

It will be similar in performance for memory overclocking to the Asus Z170 maximus 8 impact, which is already seeing people pushing 4200 mhz C11 on Ln2.

 

Except Asrock's memory overclocking on the OC Formula series has always been fuckin fantastic, so that combined with the stuff they're talking about means we're going to see insane stuff.

Lol and I'm not that into overclocking. I just want the cool looking stuff I just bought 4x4GB of Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4 3000mhz so that's the last thing I'm waiting on until I fill my loop. Also if anyone was wondering, that ugly silver fitting and the flexible tube is for filling the loop. It won't be in there for the end product.

Invite me a few days before we actually going dumpster diving. I gotta hitch hike quite a ways to The Canadian Arctic.

I am super hopeful that the rumors I've heard are true, because there's also rumors about a Z170 SOC Force Ln2 with 2 ram slots that are really close to the CPU socket as well.

 

I hope it's not super expensive tho

 

 

 

 

Here is the previous one next to the normal SOC Force:

Do people DICE and LN2 on X99 as well? Because I've pretty much only seen it on the mainstream platforms.

q

Where are the socket holes to mount coolers on the top mobo?

people go pretty hard with x99 in firestrike and other benches.

Yep, loads!

 

Boards of choice are usually Rampage 5 Extreme and SOC Champion.

 

 

People get some insane overclocks too:

No socket holes, they removed them to make the memory traces shorter to the CPU.

 

 

Since it's intended for Ln2 use, the pot is usually enough weight to get a decent mount.

 

If you use a waterblock or something, a lot of people will take an Ln2 pot and set it on top of the block for mounting pressure.

I think if I can get the cpu cool enough, I'm going to try and push for 4.7ghz on my 5930k. I know it can reach 4.6 at 1.3V but 4.7 crashes after like 10 minutes in Aida.

 

Got this cpu for $425 brand new too lol.
