Cold Enough Cascade Planning Stage

04.07.08 - 05:14am

I have decided to embark upon what will most likely be a lengthy but carefully planned cascade build.

I am aiming at -95C loaded temperatures, cold enough to consistently bench at 5200MHz and higher but not cold [...]

How To: Fabricate Your Own Northbridge Dry Ice Container

Yesterday I had the chance to test this motherboard under some sub-ambient cooling and I was blown away. I’ve got a high-end board arriving later this week so I figured I’d go out in the garage and check up on the cascade and tune it for the Q6600. After a slight delay in which I [...]

Phase Change Assembly Line Produces V2000B Single Stage

11.19.07 - 03:24pm

This unit is a story of many delays as it was my first V2000 build. Now that I’m done with it and satisfied I must say I’m rather pleased with how it turned out and will most likely be making myself one but I don’t know if I’ll build another V2000 for a customer as [...]

Phase Change Assembly Line Produces Twin 2

11.19.07 - 02:53pm

Finished up the second Twin last week but I just shipped it out today due to an emergency arising at my daytime job and keeping me tied up most of last week. This unit is identical to the previous first unit except for a minor change in how I wired up the controller. The charge [...]
