There are a couple different ways of preventing condensation from getting in the socket.  For ln2 and dice the most popular way is to cover the entire socket area with a kneadable eraser, then a layer of paper towel, and then a layer of closed cell insulation.  On the backside I use some more kneadable eraser and a thin layer of neoprene of frost king brand insulation between the board and the backplate.

Just curious about how you stop condensation from forming around the cpu and on the back of the board. Ive never read up on extreme cooling so I have no idea how they stop the condensation from happening.


You, my friend need to grab some popcorn and sit a few DAYS aside to read the Get it Colder thread

Amazing stuff Nate! Wish I was capable of making creations like this. It must feel great to be able to create something from scratch and see it perform. I've seen some of the "get it colder" thread you are extreme! :-)

 Hey Nate, wondering how your ln2 weekend event with this pot? Take any pics or cups from HWbot also how different it was it when compared to Dice?

It worked quite well with LN2. 

I was running a Super Pi 32M run and as you all know it takes a few minutes.  I was able to keep adding LN2 into it until the pot was full of LN2 while the chip was crunching away.

It had a full load temp of around -69°C (-92.2°F).  To give you an idea of a load temp, the STANDING temp of dry ice  by itself is:

71.1°C (-95.98°)  So basically when you are using LN2, you can get the load temps, of what DICE sits at normally.  Incredible stuff.  Plus I like it more, because no playing around with harmful acetone.

Most of the pics of the Session can be found here:

Plus the "swing" wasn't too bad (swing= the resistance the Pot has to the changing temps of the CPU)  I would say that a 2"x2" plug is just enough mass to certainly get your feet wet with LN2, but a more massive pot is in the works now.  If anyone wants to get their feet wet and make this pot, they will NOT be disappointed in the results.  Its no F1 or anything, but it will do the job & for UBER cheap!
