reggiesanchez any thoughts on insulating a gpu w/ a full coverage block or is it just a bad idea to get it that cold with said block. Definitely do it. I'll try and drag up a link for you. Hmm nvm, can only find LN2 insulation.

reggiesanchez Look at the guy from team finland go hes benching a 980x @ 6.2 Pretty sick. I'm still tempted by adding that to my dad's shopping list for his computer... But I dunno... $1k is a lot.. Especially when I would only get to bench it sometimes, not have it permanently. But in any case, that's great news for OCing.

Gulftown is bad news. It means that my "Puny" i7 920 D0 will have problems holding up to any other CPU\GPU benchmark Good thing not very many can afford them though. Definitely not me

Hey jon did you prep for condensation when you used your water chiller and did you have everything in the loop

the first time...no prep. i was scary kept water at 65F running nb/sb/cpu/2 gtx295's then i started getting a bit bolder and started seeing condensation. so i made a foam cutout to put on and around my cpu block. and i wrapped the nb/sb with a sort of towel. and the gpus i just watched kind of close..and would let the system warm back up. in the end...after selling the 295's i only have the cpu under water and the nb/sb under fans and have since been able to over clock farther.

if i was to put dice under the intake of the fan would that make condensation on the heatsink of the gpu, or worse the gpu itself?

Easiest way to "Get it Colder" without having to do any insulation is to take your entire computer outside. Since it will be the ambient temp that is making everything colder, you wont get any condensation. Although its already mid march, cold weather season is gone in most parts.

Oh I know John.. I want one sooo bad.. Most likely what'll happen is this: I get the Gulftown for benching sometimes, but I'll run my 920 24/7, and my dad will run the 980X in his rig, then when the 970 comes out I'll sell my Cherry 920 and get one of those. Then I'll use whichever clocks higher. Cool eh?

johnksss a house fan... or one of those 4" high powered fans for like 8 bucks +1 on the house fan. Works not only on the GPU, but the circulation cools those passively cooled mofsets/nb/sb components, enabling higher cpu frequencies.

reggiesanchez hey do you guys know anywhere I can get closed celled foam besides online would like to insulate my board this weekend before I am too busy I got mine from Grainger, same place i got my digital thermocouple thermometer. I got 3ft x 4ft x 1/2in thick for around $25. But at my local Grainger, you need to be a business/have a business account with them.(or you can use a friend's or relative's business's account). Luckily my aunt works for Grainger's biggest partner, so i got some nice discounts.
