ok, so how do you make dry ice work/?

Kind of a vague question.......

1. Get pot. For DICE you dont need quite as much surface area as you do with LN2, and you can have a more massive pot.
2. Put Acetone\Everclear\etc in pot, about an inch or so high. Any liquid that doesnt freeze at DICE temperatures (-78.5c) will do, but PURE acetone works the best, dont use nail polish remover
3. Fill pot with DICE pellets. The smaller, the better, but dont waste your time chopping them up. Dont fill up the entire pot until you make sure your CPU doesnt cold bug at a high temperature. If your lucky, your i7 wont cold bug with DICE, and you can stuff the whole pot with DICE without having to maintain a target temperature.
4. BENCH!

EDIT:

and obviously, do this in a well ventilated area

Thats it in a nutshell.

what do u think nail polish remover is?

That looks AMAZING! Top notch IMO. I felt bad when I realized your broke your humidifer but now that I see that baby in action im jealous again

@ Nate

Not all nail polish remover is 100%

damn...things we're going alright...till......
water on the board....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

and it was under the eraser

cleaning it up and will get back to benching in a few.


edit:
if you get the fast reboot over and over starting with the f3 or f6...means water is on the first set of tiny chips on the mb. right next to the long black ic chip. there are a row of 8x8 right next to the cpu hold down

thanks rudster got it down to -15 the package said the termometer stops at -3 so I don know how accurate it is well see tomorrow after I prep my board and hook it up. Do you guys think I can get away with no foam I have plastidip liquid electric tape and plenty of tube insulation just no foam is there anything I can substitute it with from the hardware store.


Are you on dice jon

get some Kneaded eraser, you can get it at a local craft store, or if you have a chain Micheals, they sell it. Plastidip is much harder to clean than kneaded eraser.

Nick was telling me that they got RMA'd boards where people just left the plastidip on

and they got charged for that...

I dont have a evga board and my warranty was already voided so I just care about protection
