i'm studying the rocket base and my finding is that the holes are too deep.....i like the many hole design...but there is not enough mass at the bottom...if the rocket base holes were shallow-er ...it would be super.

the f1ee had more mass at the bottom compared to the slow base and rocketbase...


and yeah...1core for my i920 tears the pot up really easy...lol...rocketbase won't be used for ever....

What happened to "ZOMG, The Gemini is the bomb, I'm gonna nut in my trousers Vince!"?????????

the concept is just awesome...but the rocket base is just not satisfying...

Just sounds like a benching style disconnect to me.

The F1 is a "pour and leave it alone for a while" pot. Slow to drop, slow to rise. But that's what I hated about it in benches like 3D06. When running the razor edge in clocks and cold bugs (nehalem in particular), I couldn't pull it down fast enough for CPU1 test after firefly and you couldn't heat it up fast enough after CPU2 test before the ship. I love 3D06 because of those quick CPU tests stuck in the middle - it's a bench that's FUN to pour.

Rocket sounds more like my kind of pot. Babysitting the pot is a small price to pay for tighter control.

once the f1 has been cold for a while its fast enough for me. rocket needs some b'b's or something. that or rom needs to fly over and pour for me haha

weird thing is, 1 980x's is -150cb on rocket and -125 on f1 figure that out.

06 is the hardest ..i agree...but if you're adjusting profiles and only have 2 hands..the rocket base makes it just more tedious. if you have a pourer..you're good..but benching alone its just farking difficult.


with one cpu...i had same cb...i got more cpus to test this out...using ceramiqu or ocz freeze?

that is really weird! same chip same setup and everything but cb is differnet?

anyone selling there f1ee for uber cheap :D

i wanna try soe ln2 but need a pot and dewar cuz airgas doesnt have any to rent out :(

yeah same profile :shock:

are you getting the same OC ?
