heh.. it was fun(ish) its certainly a lot noisier than I was expecting.

The compressor is really noisy, is that usual?

If it sounds like your fridge/freezer, then yes

.

matt100 · 6 Mar 2006 at 09:07

yeah, sounds like my fridge on speed.

just a loud constant buzz.

Not sure if it supposed to be super loud - then again, Jokester should be able to confirm seeing as there isn't a component he hasn't frozen at some point in time.

welshtom · 6 Mar 2006 at 09:24

it normally calms down after a while

matt100 · 6 Mar 2006 at 09:41

whats a while?

its been on 8 hours.

evaporator at -40.1 apparently, everything is at stock (now now)..

Other thing is, this dfi expert really works against you with its cold boot problems, took me flaming ages to figure that out last night.

Looks awesome though

welshtom · 6 Mar 2006 at 09:44

sweet, sorry i didnt text back, was in bed.

Maybe the compressor is touching one of the side panels.
It shouldt sound too loud . Sound like a vibration problem? or a compressor problem?

-40 is fine isnt it. not sure on the proper temp tbh.

what clocks you got so far

The Vapo LS is noisier than the mach 2 compressors so that'd explain the extra noise.
What temps are the bios giving you dude? Nows where you use smaret guardian and get stupid readings of 230C

Mercutio · 6 Mar 2006 at 13:16

I come full circle with the cooling - Air, high air, water, phase now the rig below. Tis fun for a while tho aye

ted34 · 6 Mar 2006 at 14:38

matt you going to post any picts and screenies?

matt100 · 6 Mar 2006 at 14:40

yeah yeah, just struggling with the setup at the moment, phase is working fine it the ram and mobo that are doing my head in.

Good luck with the coldbug, its the main reason amd's are a PITA to clock on ss.

well it might not kick in until around -50 core so he should be just about ok...

Mr Mister · 6 Mar 2006 at 18:02

-40C is evap temp so core temp will be more like -25C or so. Anyway cold bug temp is different on every chip. Shouldnt have a problem with an X2 though.

yeh I kinda didn't notice 2 more pages

Jokester · 6 Mar 2006 at 18:18

Yeah, the compressor makes a bit of noise, especially if it's been out of use for a while, once it's run in it should make a nice smooth humming sound. If you're pushing a CPU hard you'll even here the tone of the compressor change as the refrigerant pressure increases (my old XE used to conk out if you pushed it too hard and you had to wait for it to cool down again

).

getting concerned this is a bit off beat then, it has a constant, fairly loud whirring noise. Like a fridge so its the compressor but it's pretty noisy. Very audible over fans etc.

Its been on now for about 18 hours but no real load.. Do you think I should load it up to give it a run? If its been sat still for weeks (possibly more) will it quieten down over a few days? Do you get faulty compressors that get noisy?

Sorry but I'm just curious because I think at this level I'm going to find it hard to get used to because the noise is hard edged and high pitched, its quite hard to ignore.

Jokester · 6 Mar 2006 at 18:39

I'm surprised it only hit's -40C with no load, they should do -50C, but it could be a dodgy temp sensor (one of mine only hits -30C with no load, but it's definitely working right).

I say go for it.

Depending on the particular chip you should see idle temps of -20 to -25C so that should give you an idea whether it's working right. Load temps can be -10 to -15 at stock I guess.
