No I have not beat my posted 3 way score yet I will be trying today.
Wensday I get the 4th card back from RMA.

SniperOZ great score

Now that's what I'm talkin' bout!  Great job Snipe!

Very nice Sniper!

sniper you are crazy. almost as crazy as Q ;)

I think my next step is distilled ice cubes in the res ;)

Good idea..keep dropping them in as they melt.

Well here are some clocks to shoot for.

Get the card's memory up more then he has with a 4.5Ghz cpu clock and you should be there.

BTW quick question for you guys with a ton of Vantage runs under the belt.  

I'm starting to notice Vantage scores go down after clock increases.  What are you guys' thoughts on this, and what's the remedy?  More voltage or less?

Also, is Vantage so scalable that you'll only run as fast as your slowest card?   I stopped syncing my OCs in Afterburner so I could tweak my fastest card up a few more notches than the slowest, but now I see that the faster card has dropped in utilization (maybe waiting on the slower card?) and my scores for those runs were pretty much the same.

Any insight appreciated!

I'm sure your approach could work.  I wonder how fast the ice will melt though.

yep..  exactly...  Oversimplified, that plate heat exchanger is basically a single radiator with two independent loops running through it.  No liquid is shared between the loops, they just share the plates which allows them to share heat.   Instead of running a fan through the heat exchanger you run cool liquid through it and the heat from your main loop is carried away with the liquid going through the other loop. 

All you'd really need to run it is a second pump, a bucket, and some hose/fittings.  You can disconnect the second loop when you're done benching...  seems like a nice compromise between a chiller setup and regular radiator setup.   A bucket full of ice = chiller on demand

Thanks guys

on a side note ....diynoob ......this is what i was running about 10 months ago
so your idea is sound and it will work but you will need to prep for condensation because it works very well !!!!...... depending on what you have in you loop



And this is what i run now although i only run it this cold when benching CPU .... the GPU's have way to much heat to let me bring it down to below zero....(the temp on the LED is high because i need to disconnect it for sub zero runs)

Nothing says "I mean business" like a single sheet of foam for a case and a chiller!  Very nice Sniper.

Taking baby steps, but inching up the physx score.

This should put me at the top of the 3-way

I can take this a lot higher next weekend!!

 
WOW Q nice ..  your still going.... he..he yes very baby steps......but every step is better than the last

spec friggn tacular setup sniper. i may look into that heat exchanger ... hmmm. you can just put it inline with the current radiator setup right? so i just disconnect the 2nd loop when not needed and wont need to drain the system or anything each time right?

Thanks Mate.........yeah thats how I had mine setup, but BE CAREFULwith the temps, depending on were your radiator is, it could go very bad.
 
Mine was at the top of the system, and at the end of a couple of hour benching, I looked in and saw water sitting on top of the video card PCB,.....ahhhhh...... I shut everything down and was VERY LUCKY no damage. ...... It turned out that cold water running through a radiator...can get a little (or a lot) of Condensation in the radiator fins, and with the fans on, it blows it down were you DON'T want it......
 
After that i made sure to turn my fans off (And found that it got colder, the ambient temp through the Radiator was actually warming the water up.)
Plus a bit of paper towel siting on top of the GPU PCB worked a treat......And finally bypassing the radiator was the best way because it was still warming up the temps.......Quick disconnects work well, for all these alternatives
