Idk then...

Ok, i started seeing a good bit of condensation around where the insulation for the pot and the insulation for the board meet, so i'm stopping for now, probably for the night. I have learned alot, gotten some good benches in, gotten good sub-zero experience, and now know not to buy 25lbs of DICE. I probably still have half of it left, and i benched for a good 5 or 5 and a half hours. At least it was only $.45/lb, so it only cost me about $12. I have pics, and results, and will put them up after i break down the rig and assess the condensation.

Yeah I just figured that out,
Thanks

@Q: Ya i figured it out a little after Sniper told me it was a batch file.

Ok, done for the night. I took apart everything and cleaned it up. I left the art eraser on the board. Should take that off too, to check for condensation? Also, i plan to bench this same combo again. If i didn't run in to condensation, i think i could've gone higher and faster. I was only at 1.575 vcore 1.28 vtt and 1.4 nb. Temps were very good though. With the system off, it was around -71*C; idle -60 to -65*C; load -56 to -60*C. Pics and results will come in a while.

Whoops thanks halo. Fixed it.

Thanks jon. Drop the 1's from all of those, and you have my temps. lol. I edited it.

around -171*C; idle -160 to -165*C; load -156 to -160*C.   <--these are LN2 temps.




ummm....what kind of dice are you using???

He knows how to hold his tongue just right. Take notes john. He obviously knows more than you.

yes...he knows more than enough to drop the over inflated one on the beginning..

Rabid, you're really stepping up you're game!  Graet job!

Thanks for the compliments and encouragements guys! Like i said, i will bench this same setup again, but when i start benching other stuff, hopefully i can bring in more points.

I failed pretty hard with the benchmarks, but for my first ever encounter with sub ambient cooling, I would call it a success. I didnt kill my hardware, and I had a ton of fun doing it.

Im not entirely sure if the 5.25ghz is valid. Anything past 5.09ghz wont validate, and E-Leet was acting funny after I went past 5.09. Im calling it 5090mhz though. I should have opened up CPU-Z to confirm it. Ill be doing this again soon anyways. I had a lower SuperPi score, but it froze right after I hit Ctrl-V in paint, and right before I hit Ctrl-S to save it It was 8.061s.

I would have done so many things differently looking back on it though. Give it another 2-3 weeks and Ill do it again though. Temps were not what they should have been. The picture you see was me sticking the probe in the DICE. I think I know what the problem was too...

You BOTH fail.  You and halo.  Use your bare hands, then you can say how a man uses dice. 
At least your not using Rainbow gloves  *COUGH* halo *COUGH* 

(kudo's for going the "safe route" and not using your hands, but I have rougher hands then u both -so I go free style and use my hands.  Hasn't killed me yet)

Anyone have any experience with this board  GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD7 LGA 1366 ?  Edit: I meant this one

There was condensation on the bottom of the pot, but that isnt anything to be concerned about since its frozen. Also, the eraser would have protected the actual motherboard. I used a lot less Eraser\Neoprene than you did, you shouldnt have ran in to a condensation issue. Its going to form, but rather or not it hurts your motherboard comes down to your prep work.

Dont be jealous. That DICE run was on whim. But I had to do it yesterday because a video Im doing for school needs a clip of me actual running DICE. I'll do a much better job when I do it again.

I still picked up like ~20 HWbot points for my submissions though. Didnt even run 32m Spi\1024m Wprime or PiFast.

Don't waste your money on buying pellets if they cost a good bit more. I bought scrap chunks cause it was $.45/lb, compared to $.87/lb for rice pellets. I just smashed up the chunks in a big plastic bowl and it worked perfectly fine.

I brought my cooler to the DICE guy, and he filled it up for $20 by just throwing the scrap chunks in it.  I broke up the large pieces by just picking them up, and slamming them down on the other pieces.
