You won't get that kinda bullshit advice around here bud

Good to hear.

I am surprised the CHIV can handle 322 HTREF my exerience with asus baords has not been very good at all for bus clocking. I so gotta sell my chIII now

Think you could drop the multi and see how far you can push the HTREF??? and which BIOS you are using por favor

40s load was just blowing the a/c directly on the rad. No chiller yet.

I'm not 100% sure 320FSB is stable on the board, but another person said he ran 347FSB on the board. I was running 320x12.5 for a couple weeks with 3200MHz NB/2240HT, and 1707 DDR3. I didn't try prime on it at that setting, but it never crashed. The highest I got it to post was like 334 IIRC. One stick of memory died during mobo swapping and since then my 320x12.5 etc...seemed unstable. Waiting on RMA.

I could try to see how high the FSB will go again. Right now I'm @ 308x13 w/3080 NB-2156 HT, and 1642 DDR3 which works very good....it's prime stable for an hour anyways, which considering I had it stable @ 4242MHz before is stable enough for me for now.

lol....the BIOS(0905 btw) allows you to set the FSB up to 600 ....why?

So with -20 or 30c should that give me headroom to overclock higher or will I need to venture into much colder territory?

Sorry I must double post to keep the log going.

I have the a/c all apart and the evap in a cooler, as you can see from the pictures, for a test run. I managed to not screw anything up and I only had to bend the pipe a little bit.

Does anyone see any problems so far?

Everything seems to be working good until the compressor shuts off which happens to be when the coolant temperature gets to 0c and it's taking forever to come back on.

When I short the 2 wires to the thermostat I get a readout on the screen that indicates a sensor has gone bad, but the compressor does not stay on. It acts as if there is a thermostat attached to it but there is not.

Right now I have the thermostat attached and taped to the side of the compressor to stay warm, but that doesn't work either.

What is this tube sensor thing? It is attached and it is submerged in the tank....do I leave that alone?

I may have to figure out how to just straight hot-wire it or something. Fortunately I haven't cut the shaft off yet, just in case I can't get it working. We'll get it figured out though.

Ohh I almost forgot......

Tested today 340x10 would not post, 335x10 I got a BSOD, and 330x10 passed 5 runs of IBT maximum stress level.

I got it figured out!!!I posted again.


It was that tube sensor thing.....I just removed it from where it was attached to the tube 6" deep in the reservoir. Now it's hanging out where it's warm along with the thermostat. Finally sub-zero!!!! More frosty pics coming right up..........

0 Fahrenheit/-16c in this one. -20c right now thoughCOLDER COLDER!!!

EDIT: ohh look at the frost in this one. Simply amazing. UPDATE: been hanging right @ -22c for seems like a couple minutes now............ahhh -23c now.

UPDATE: -27c

................and check this out too. http://hwbot.org/community/submissio...6_mhz?new=true

I wanted to join the OCAlliance team, but didn't have the password. Can I join? ....9-2 I'm in.

UPDATE: -30c after 3 hours. Is the res too big or is that normal? Evap is not completely submerged either if that makes a difference.

It's currently 3 gallons -25F washer fluid, and almost 2 gallons Prestone anti-freeze & distilled water. The mix didn't slush up at all. I have another gallon washer fluid, but I didn't want to put it in because how the fuck am I going to move this thing? Actually 2 people can probably do it pretty easy, just across the room fortunately.

Anyways, it's been a good night. I can't wait to get my board insulated and unleash this beast on my cpu for awhile.

Suhweet!!! That looks like a ton of fun

Looks like the CHIV wont be enough for the 1055T for e though :( Was really hoping it would push it over 350 at least. (380 + turbo puts it up to 5600MHZ?? I think)

Going to have to look around a little more.

Good show ny! - I'm pulling for you...

[Kal-EL]

I thought you had it shorted this whole time, the tube thingy is the temp probe that we usually short to keep the compressor on.

Glad you got it sorted homie

[Hondacity]

subzero+!

[ny_driver]

I was messing with the room sensor, although I was wondering about the tube sensor when it kept shutting off.

Tube sensor is @ room temp and the room sensor is taped to the compressor for warmth.

The coolant temp only rose to -15c after sitting there in the cooler for 7-8 hours with the lid ajar. Amazing I say! I'm now running it to see how quickly it gets back down to COLD

[Witchdoctor]

Nice work man ..........

Looks like you are having a ball ..........

[ny_driver]

Check it out....I'm on the team

This thing doesn't cool down quite as fast as I was hoping, but it stays cold.
