Cascade systems use phase change systems to cool phase change systems which in turn cool the CPU.

Single stage (ie Vapochill etc) can only cool down to about -60C. To get below that you need to use a different refrigerant but these won't work if you use room temperature air to cool them. Hence you get another phase change system to cool the first at what ever temperature it operates at. Then that one is cooled by normal air.

You generally get either 2 or 3 stage cascades.

going to sound like a proper nabje here but could you explain what cascade cooling consists of? looks like a kind of modded phase unit?

Don't quote me on this but I believe it is a multi-phase system. One phase unit cools the other phase unit which in turn cools the CPU. Hence the even lower temps.

EDIT: Damnit Jokester!

. Same time!

Very nice clean build fatty. Looking foward to more results.

Awsome and look sweet also. Seen some crazy looking Cascades and thats about the cleanest ive seen.

Keep it up Fatty

Cheers guys I may go for a single stick clock see what happens

And yes a cascade cooling system does consist of 2 compressors with a low pressure refrigerant cooling a high pressure refrigerant

Thats nuts, nice one

antonio, mentale. hehehe!

Bother to show us a screen of super pi with the 1mb test?

fatty1 · 2 Apr 2006 at 16:49

I only pi'ed at 3750 and 38someat but couple of shots

And where smartgaurdian says cpu 207 when you use subzero cooling zero degree's is 260 so 207 is like -53

Works back from 255 doesn't it

Don't know could be???? its been a while since I have had it warm enough to check

m3csl2004 · 2 Apr 2006 at 18:37

very impressed at the cascade, very clean looking - im glad your posting here

have you tried running 1.7 through the core yet?

(im also impressed by the fact you consider a cascaded fx-57 everyday

)

very nice!!

mc_bob · 2 Apr 2006 at 19:02

Don't know what half of that stuff does, but Damn!, It looks good.
Great OC aswell.
Thumbs up

Thanks guys yeah 1.76 was my highest vcore then I backed off I dont want to kill my only cpu

I had 1.8v through my 3500+ Newcastle on air when i was trying to get my best clocks

Need I say more.

What's the difference when Overclocking? :confused:

About 0.1V.

130nm takes volts lying down.
