I don't think DICE in a chiller is such a good idea. 

 
It was Dice in a 5 Gallon bucket for me and did no better than regular ice as I was just starting to play with the whole chilled water thing. To use dice in a chiller... I think they use acetone... scary!!!

 
Here is why it is a bad idea.  By adding Pure Carbon Dioxide into the chiller, the liquid will eventually become carbonated.  What you are left with is Prestone Soda.  When your pump tries to pump the super carbonated Prestone, the pump becomes VERY fizzy, and no liquid will go into blocks.  and your computer will overheat in seconds and lock up.   -Hypothosis?  no.  fact. (tried it )  Maybe I put too much in? 

 

ah, so that's what you did that you didn't want to say...lol

Yup, I turned Prestone... into soda
 
I am having a good benching night... and sad to say bedtime is approaching.  Got back up to 46.2K.  Just doing the run over and over again, hopefully will get a lucky run. 
 
I shouldn't go to bed... cause this is what happend last time, Lost 46K's for almost a month.

ROFL!!!

ehh well... going to bed.  Guess I wave goodbye to 46K's for another month, the power bills are becoming astronomical.  I am surprised the Feds haven't set up shop in vans outside my house thinking were growing pot or something.  They would die if it was just Vantage runs that makes the house lights DIM. 

The house lights don't really dim do they? The light that's on the same circuit as my rig will flicker when I boot up but it hasn't ever dimmed lol.

OH i can confirm that his lights dim, you don't notice it to much while its running but when the vantage run ends and the chiller gets shut down for the night the lights all of a sudden get brighter you know !!!

yes, the lights dim.  I left a vantage run going and went in to check on my wife a while ago, and she said when I got in the room, "the lights just got brighter"  I joked and said my computer prolly crashed.  sure enought I go back in... and Calico locked up. 

No vantage runs for at least a week...  IM A DADDY NOW!!! 
My little girl!
