Extreme cooled comp CPU @ -101C

awesome yes. But not "fully done out" yet. A 55 chip under a better cascade and better cooling on the GPU will be done by someone else or he will upgrade the cascade cooler's on those GPU's

I think 30k is a prize for 03' that someone can grab with 3 cascade's
 
Shamino is a stand up guy.

They're are colder cascades out there. Check out Chilly1 and PC-Ice at XtremeSystems.org, i've seen -110C and colder. (Some 3stage cascade's aswell)

Hay how much cooling were you using the size of the compressor?

After reading that I'm inclined to believe that either you've had a few to many to drink.....or English is not your first language. ;)
 
A few too many, I just read what I had posted and boy do I fill dumb wont do that again :). What I meant to ask was how much cooling capacity does the unit you are using have and the type of refrigerant. As I am planning on trying to make one my self and I am not sure on the BTU capacity I would need. I am just used to working with compressors that are between 1 1/2 to 25 tons and they seem too balky to be used on a computer. But I have been looking at units out of water coolers and refrigerators. I just would like a start in the right direction. Any help would be appreciated.

Excellent link there bro, and centvalny.....this looks like a bit of an answer you were looking for earlier in your thread about mounting your MachI on your XT-PE.....I'm assuming you'd be able to "throw togethor" an adapter of sorts in the same fashion.

Thanks corn...that is what I need :D

Hehe, if you do follow through with this it'd actually be kinda cool to see what kind of clocks you could hit with stock votlage first.....just for comparisons sake. :p I assume you'll be voltmodded teh XT-PE fairly soon though right? ;)

Good stuff, be sure to fill me in personally when you get some results from the modded card.....I just love seeing how my peeps make out with their toys, and how mine stack up. ;)
 
One word of warning... phasecooling GPU is not for 24x7 use. You will freeze the card and condensation will be so much fun that you will have to thaw the card out, wait till all water is gone before rebooting. Reason I have been pondering over peltier cooling of GPU or just straight water cooling for last 2 months for SLI setup. Still pondering over as total cost would run $400+ on what I already have as well as added heat. (2 gpu pelt block $60 each, 2 24v psu $60 each, 2 172w pelt $40 each, bix3 $120 or so, fans, etc $30)... it went over $400 easy there... :p
Another thing I thought was water chiller except noise and size will be issue (e-bay often has decent 1/4hp water chiller at cheap price).

Very true.....I'm still pondering over getting a Pelt for XT-PE to clear 700MHz.....but the Meanwell's I'm finding for sale in Canada are so ridiculously expensive....like $160 CDN.....which is a big deterent for my semi-broke self. :(

What kind of v and amp you looking for? I might have link.

I don't get why it would be so bad, I mean 6800gt/ultra gets 50-60 degrees idle, and if you put enough foaming and heater tape on the sides and back of the card there shouldn't be a condensation problem. Or is there something I'm missing?

The problem is that I haven't quite decided on the "size" of the Pelt I want for the XT-PE, and when/if I'm going to do it. I really want to, but ONLY if I can get the PSU for a little cheaper then what I've been seeing.

Core will get subzero. We are talking about possibly whole card freezing well below 0. There were people who have done this, and I have yet to find one that didn't have condensation over surface of card on extended benching. These are for quick blast run not for 24x7.

I agree on maybe not using a VGA phase change system for 24/7 use.....but you COULD still insulate things and have your heater and whatnot set properly to really minimize the chances of the card itself freezing over and of getting frost and condensation al all parts of the card.

It's probly gonna happen anyways, but there are still ways to help things along and make it a little more usable. ;)
 
u can subcool the gpu...no condensation at all even if you run it 24/7.

that is why ppl make airtight mb chamber.... no air = no condensation

---> Err... how are you cooling your chipsets and mosfet again with chamber? There need to be medium to transfer heat. Submerging is an option but that is totally different story all together.
 
It is cool to see the temps..but what a fucking mess. I am sure I could do much more with my Mach II, but I hate the idea of having shit laying all over a bench, floor, desk, etc. Needs to be soemthing neat and claen for me.
