I just wanted you guys to be the first to see this:


35 pounds of bone crushing copper

the only metal that can give you wood

is that for the water cooled air block

Do I sense a GPU block coming?

I forget, do i need to uninstall and reinstall drivers when switching out vid cards (nvidia)? OS: W7 Pro 64

Usually no, you can just pop the different card in and go.  You might have to wait a few minutes once into windows until it figures out what to do, and you might need to reboot, but mast times it works without a hitch.  Of course if things aren't going good, just uninstall, driver sweep in safe mode, then reinstall.

Never buy an AC thru mail order.... 
 
Just go to Lowes or Menards.

Well, pctools, how's the LN2 testing going?

Lookin good Nate!  You're going to get a lot of questions on that one.

Edit:  Oh and you're # 1 single card again....I think when we go into our modsrigs to update it sets the sli back to "no"

All better.  Can't say I am a fan of the new Mods rigs.

I threw in a new mod's rigs photo if anyone cares.  Let me know what you guys think?

Wow, 35 lbs of copper?  Let's see @ $1.70/lb.

Do you have a contact at a mill, or getting the high prices thru a fab?

Key Suppliers of Cu.
1) Kobe
2) Golden Dragon

Imagine a 35 LBS LN2 pot.  I think a pot of that weight wouldn't even need mounting hardware.  It would more then likely be the most massive LN2 pot in existence. 

did you check overclock.net they have an awsome catalaog of voltmods I remember I had a alpha dog 8800gt forgoet what I found ill poke around though. I think I fried that card trying to strap a socket 775 waterblock over the cpu with a huge clamp......

I should have had my chiller hooked up and everything I was too pissed when I blew it I threw away the pictures I planned on bragging with.

@ rudster xfx and msi cards are kind of a pita to mod because they usually dont use a different pcb design, at least that was my expereince.

Easiest and only vmod i ever did was on a pny 9800gtx+ solder points are pretty large. Never gained that much from it about 80 mhz on gpu and 100 or so on mem, didnt want to shell out the money to cool the card better and just said screw it.

Oh yea, Im coming home guys got a EVGA 470 and a evga 8800gts  on the way I can finally post my rig in the mods rig section. Its been a while since Ive had a evga card.

Do the vm those cards are crazy hard to get cups with because a few people from ocn and other places have vmodded them and then put them on chilled water or at least water. I would do the vmem too if its not to hard and you dont think you will damage your card. I wouldnt push the mem to far though without a aftermarket heatsync.

Maybe you will have better luck if you plan on benching this on dice.

[<font]CL3P20 and pizza man are both very cool about helping people get started too. If you have any questions just pm them.

I have been planning to bench them on dice, if i can vmod them successfully, and if i can get a decent gpu pot for a good price. (hint hint nate possibly)

I have already benched the 8800gs's i have, and where they max kinda sucks...around 700 core.

Also, anyone have opinions on a good soldering iron? Preferably variable temp.

If you find any cheap GPU pots let me know I've been looking as well, only one I know of is kingpin's Tek-9 for $185.... Wish koolance still sold/made gpu pots, they sold for about $150 but I can't find them anywhere

Maybe Nate can save us all by whipping up some killer gpu pots

There is ALWAYS something going on in the doo mans shop...
But those tek 9's seem like good stuff to me.  Copper isn't cheap.
