I'm on a Deneb, but either way I never had the NB lower than the HT. Usually keep the HT below 2400 and the NB ~3GHz, but I tried it with both on "auto". For 3GHz NB I need ~1.51v

EDIT: will try again later.

UPDATE: I did a major overhaul tonight. I put the pump, and the feed line below the top of my reservoir, so the system is now gravity fed with no place for air to get trapped.

I'd say I have gained quite a bit. Right now the BIOS says the cpu is @ 5 Celcius and the reservoir is only @ -15 Celcius. Until now I have had to have the reservoir @ -32 Celcius to even see 5c on the cpu according to the BIOS. When I had the reservoir @ -45 Celcius this morning I actually saw 0 and N/A for the cpu.

Anyways I am expecting it to get much colder. And I'll post pictures tomorrow after I clean up the mess. Looks like a bomb-blast site when I get done doing a project.

Well thank for letting me know where I live! I thought someone would finally spill the beans one day!

Yo stop drinking the same shit I do Face!


BTW: Great job on the clocking mate!

lol....thanks.

Going to get 5GHz ~7 AM today after I sleep and the chiller gets down to -45 Celcius. Must be it just needs to be colder because I get 4.5Ghz on 1.5v all day....lots of headroom there.

[ny_driver]

Still can't get 5GHz or even 4.75. Kept getting the BSOD right after the Windows logo disappears @ 4.75GHz....I tried 1.6 and 1.62v @ 4.75 and only 1.6 @ 5GHz, but I tried 1.7 yesterday without it being quite as cold.

The chiller started out @ -40c and is up to -37c now. It seems pretty watery, but it must have thickened up a little because it's not flowing as awesomely as it was last night.

Mix is approximately 4/5 washer fluid and 1/5 antifreeze. Antifreeze gets too thick I think. I may try thinning with a couple gallons of denatured alcohol, but that's like $30. Good idea?

EDIT: yup as the reservoir temp goes up slightly with the top open I see the cpu temp creep down, so that tells me the flow is picking up a little.

^dont believe your bios temps past 0c they are wrong

[ny_driver]

I made it too flammable and ended up diluting it by taking out 2 gallons of the mix and replacing with water.

I think I need a higher flow water block or something. Even with the system gravity fed, it's just not flowing like I want.

[Kal-EL]

flamable?

[ny_driver]

Yeah, alcohol is highly flammable and burns very hot.

What is the ideal mixture of fluids for a chiller? Obviously should have asked this question prior to now. I took out 6/7 gallons of that mix and replaced it with 6 gallons of anti-freeze/washer fluid. Now it is non-flammable again and I have some super high potency washer fluid in the garage.

Good thing I love wasting all my money.

I may look into a new pump and high flow water block. I plan to continue to use the chiller for 24/7 even though it's never anywhere near 24/7.

And finally...I think the pump is on it's last leg. At least I'll be an expert chiller builder by the end of this.

[Kal-EL]

I never wrote down my mixture and it took some experimenting to find teh ideal mixture for my pump/setup/needs. I too have wasted a ton on the chiller experience

Didn't know you were running a flammable coolant this entire time, eek, glad that didn't turn out crispy
