Okay, blonde moment, if a coolant of some sort is going to go in these pots, do they have to be constantly topped up, or re-filled, especially if it is going to be something like CO2!

I plan on using Dry Ice early next week.

I just added this to the sticky courtesy of K404:


The first few pellets of dice will sublime very quickly, with a nice plume of CO2 gas. Only put a little dice in until the acetones temp drops, else it'll spit. I actually wouldnt use slush to start- the surface area means it'll sublime more violently and will be more likely to spit. I try to dig out some bigger bits to get the pot and acetone down to temp.

Add enough acetone to cover the surface area of the base of the pot.

Dont fill the tube. If ya cant see the acetone bubbling, thats enough I reckon. Filling the tube will use up dice a lot faster for very little gain, if any.

Startup order is up to you. Sometimes il boot to BIOS and view the CPU temp, then start adding dice, sometimes il let the dice cool for a minute before I start the computer...doesnt really matter- it wont be until you load the CPU in windows that you'll find out if the contact is good.

The pot will need a little time to absorb cold to hold a load properly.

The acetone will evaporate/be carried away slowly over the day. You'll lose a couple mm of the depth over the course of a day.


At the end of the month it will by Ln2. The E8500 is going under Ln2. So is an 8800GTX and a 3870...plus some other stuff.
