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.

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.

man! get the chip and be set for the next year or so. 

or

wait and see if they come with some 920 version of it doing just as good for less...lol

i think intel finally caught on and started down playing them lower end chips...they we're loosing to much money.

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

Re:Get It Colder......2 2010/03/11 15:09:05 (permalink)
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?

+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.

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.
