Dry Ice starter thread

[Martynt74]

Thought i'd whack some pics up early on then add to it in a work log style thing.

Heres some pics of my tubes at the moment, gpu tube is all ready and insulated, the cpu isn't at the moment, but gonna probably whack the prommie on the cpu tomorrow and use ice water in the gpu tube on the x800 to see how it fares early on.

Shall get some Dry Ice in a week or 2 i hope

Insulating the back of the motherboard

That done

Note to anyone thinking or copying remember where the holes for cpu mounting kit are

Insulating the motherboard, still gaps to fill yet though

 

[mightynimrod]

Sweet mate, that'll be some benching setup

 

[GAMEfreak]

lol @ your bare feet hiding under the table. you thought they were hidden... MUHAHAHAHAAHAHA lol. g/l with the project.

 

[stigggeh]

looking good, just a quick question, what mod is the molex for ?


@ post below-
edit : ahhh good idea

 

[Martynt74]

Its for reading volts after the volts mods, i cant get to the normal sensors on the motherboard now due to insulation

 

[m3csl2004]

i see ct-479 :O:O:O please say youve got a good dothan going under that!

 

[4Qman]

Awsome mate, good luck with it and keep the results coming.

Also what is the insulation stuff called on the top of the board.

 

[Martynt74]

Its a bit of a poor one only a 730, so hoping around 3.1ish tomorrow with the mach 2.

I've got my eye on a 780 and p4gd1 (pci-e) but alas i'm currently jobless and thats over £300

Heres a pic of everything at the beginning

 

[stigggeh]

i get better results with jumpers on 400fsb (but you prolly already know that) it took me about 2 month to realise everyone else was using 400 jumpers..

 

[Kesnel]

Looking forward to these results. Be sure to keep us updated.

 

[Raikiri]

What card is that? Looks like a 9700pro from the floppy connector for power and the pcb

 

[Martynt74]

x800pro modded to stpe

 

[Raikiri]

Bah, looks like a floppy connector/cant see a molex

 

[Martynt74]

The molex is the purple thing just to the left, not really sure why it has both though

 

[Mr Mister]

the yellow thing is the vivo bit isnt it?

 

[m3csl2004]

the pci-e boards dont support multi change in bios????? bit awkward

try and pick up an es from an auction site - or a mate of mine picked up a 760 new and sealed for a decent price that benches at 2950 on good air

and then flog youres lol - with good bh-5 and a good board i can see you hitting 22.xxx pi 1mb times

 

[Martynt74]

Yeah but with the pci-e and 7800gtx would be impressive

 

[Martynt74]

Grrr i'm gonna throw this thing out the window soon enough.

Problem 1 - The bios keeps resetting itself, gonna try a new battery later one to see if it fixes it. So can only clock using clockgen

Problem 2 - Cant get a bootable iso working for my windows install

Problem 3 - ATI drivers are being ghay and wont load properly in win2k

Problem 4 - Directx has decided its in hiding mode so no 3dmark etc will run

All this and i havn't even got around to installing the mach 2 yet

 

[m3csl2004]

dont use 2k ?


what board is that? - p4p800se or p4c800-e del?


edit - btw mate - if you want a cpu u can test 2 destruction i have a couple of celeron m's

 

[Martynt74]

Well i was intending to use xp but due to all the crap on it i've made a version which is down to 120mb and all the rubbish like wmp etc cut out but can't make it into a bootable iso. Might have to use the normal win xp if i dont sort it.

Its a p4c800-e modded to the deluxe, was fine before the adaptor was modded and the board insulated like a biach
