Chuch, now that you say that, and I don't mean to hijack this thread. Would you recommend for try SS first or DICE. I have never done any form of extreme cooling, just looking for the most straightforward method to get the feel of it.

SS is nice because you bench on your own time. The problem is once you use colder methods its not that thrilling, but still fun. Convenience factor is what its all about. Oh an pre-testing. If you want the most possible excitement go with dice or ln2 :)

wut happend to the ss ?

cp if you want the most i would go ln2 or dont wanna be buying ln2 i would get a casscde

i wish i had a cas cuz ss can only take u so far and i dont have alot of time to do ln2 right now even though i want to bad :(

This is all truth. I went from SS to DICE and DICE was so much more fun....but less convenient and if I had an SS I would have pounded out maybe not as fast benches, but more and across more platforms.

LN2>Cascade>DICE>SS :)

yeah im looking for something convenient. I know with cascades and stuff you just swap from one setup to the other and that's it, right? I meanj its just like putting a waterblock per say, you just use the proper mounting hardware and that's it?

dice is almost like ln2..... (no need for dewar nor flask).. some welding gloves help. needs ventilation ...can't control temps......what you need. pot + acetone + dice

recipe:
1. good pot...incase you jump to ln2 world ..sf3d pot is 265, kp pot 2xx , d8r pot 2xx
2. acetone ..under 10$
3. eraser...under 10$ @ michaels
4. welding gloves...home depot...the dark brown is best.
5. dice and ice box ( styro hold better) grocery...

if you start with dice..you can upgrade later to ln2...just get a dewar and flasks...

i started with dice....its too addictive :D


i hope i didn't scare yah :D

on cas and ss the guy making it use a mounting hardware thats all sockets like mine has 1366 and 775 and amd

so you just need to prep the mb... its a lil more work then just putting a wb on ;)


but its alot better then water i went from air to water then ss but still on water for the gpu :(

Not at all, this is something I will try eventually, just haven't gotten to that phase yet. :)

I was just using it to compare I know its a lot more work LOL. I got some homework to do on this stuff.

[MaadDaawg]

Everything has its place and application. I got my SS before I tried either DICE or LN2.

SS is convenient and easy but you'll only get to -40C or so. DICE around -70 or so (but the fumes could kill ya), and LN2 I've never got past -158C (yet ;) )

The more options, the more possibilities :D
