Time for some Fun !

[ScunnyUK]

Well its Friday the 13th and ive just been stung by a bee for the first time ever but pain soon went away when a van pulled up delivering this:>>



Thats a 35ltr dewar
Although it doesnt seem to be very full so probably wont last very long!!



Ive decided i'll be playing with 775 this weekend but havnt decided whever to go with the DDR3 REx or DDR2 Giga Extreme ??



I only plan on using 3 of the cpus, an e2140 and P4 640 both as of yet untested so have no clue if there good or if they even work lol and my e8600 batch no: Q822A438
Of coarse Ive loads of ram both DDR2 and older 1.8v DDR3 of the micron D9*** variety

wish me luck guys, but not just for the benchin, but cos Ill be drinking Carling instead of Stella all weekend lol
Hopefully some results to come soon

Liking the look of this, hopefully the pots do me proud :P

[Bustah]

Good luck Gaz have fun mate!

[ScunnyUK]

Cheers guys

George Im surprised you even recognized the cpu pot lol , but yeah I hope so too

Earlier this evening I finished setting up the REx and mounting my sweet new cpu pot which I bought off George recently along with a gpu pot (many thanx to you sir for an awesome deal)
So just for you Sam>>



The pot is a SF3D OC Inflection Point, Im not sure of its exact weight without gogglin but its darn heavy!!



Im just hoping right now that i havnt done any damage to the board because it seemed to be quite bowed when screwing it down to the bench deck!

[GeorgeStorm]

Haha wow, didn't realise there was metal under all that grime :P

Hope they serve you well

[topdog]

Have fun Gaz, some serious points to be made with those chips
I like your bike too

Hey TD, dont let the colour fool you she is a beast

Well I started late last night some time after I last posted in here and used 4 ltrs, finishing at around 2am this morning.

Things didnt go too well unfortunatly, to start off I kept hitting a cold bug at about -125*c but couldnt understand why because the last time I had LN2 the chip ran ok down to -160*c but that time I ran out of ln2 before getting anywhere so it may go even colder (I had a couple ltrs left over after benching for a week so decided to setup the e8600) and Ive ran other chips at max cold on this board before too.
Anyway eventually I realized that it was the v601 bios I was using and swapped it back to v1301 which sorted out the cold bug problem but this bios has bad vdroop issues. After that I started having all the same problems with the REx/ this paticular setup that I keep having with it under single stage and struggled trying to get 5.4 -5.5Ghz stable. After a number of bsods ect I gave up on on it and stripped down the setup so it could dry out ready to try again today with the P45 board

Some cold pics and starting to strip down>>

Hope you have better luck with the P45 m8

Where do you get you're LN2 mate ? And do they deliver it to you in there own dewar? I'm after buying one myself but they are like gold dust and the ones that come up on eBay are always collection only and nowhere near my home "north east"

[ScunnyUK]

Mine comes from Mansfield Cryogenics, infact this was the view from my window earlier this morning



Im not sure about the dewars though.

[Keny]

Does Mansfield deliver national ? Getting sick of paying £40 for dice when a fill of a 25L dewar would be loads better for not much more money

Yes, they do. Anywhere from Brighton to Blackpool I was told I have had deliveries from them in the past.
