The following pictures are of the Aluminium Pot built and designed by Travis Jank a.k.a. V2_V3 of Nexgen Consulting. I have a previously purchased copper pot desinged by another person next to the alu-pot for size comparison. Included in the photos are the accessories/mounting kit provided by Jank.

Testing will begin when I find a working motherboard and prep it. My 790i FTW analog has perished.

Had a pretty good run once I worked out some bizarre behavior at the 7th hour of benching.

Here are some frosty pics. So far I like how this post is performing. I don't have a working temp probe right now so I can only base temps on general bios readouts.

Enjoy the frostys for now

Being that I'm late and members have been waiting so long for info on the Supes Dubbed "JankPot" I'm gonna spit out info gathered so far. Later, I'll make it all nice and presentable.

I'm pretty sure I had a bad mount and spread of ceramic on the cpu due to the slight shortness of the fastening screws, it was difficult to start the threads. Keep in mind that Travis rigged up a custom mount on the spur of the moment as he was actually sold out of pots when I asked for one.

So with a poor mount I was able to obtain -68c on the E8400 dual core at stock voltage/speed. Using the other beheomoth copper pot I have, I get round -71c. Again, this most likely due to a poor mount.

At around 1.75vcore I saw -42c in the bios while it read 1.71vcore. Still, I was able to run my max fsb on this 790i Ultra SLI board 600x9 for 5.4ghz, bench stable.

One thing I noticed was that this pot doesnt suck down as much dry ice as the copper pot. I used just enough acetone that it was approximately 2mm deep from bottom of the pot, not counting the drill out holes at the bottom. I also crushed the DICE as much as possible prior to placing in the pot.

I wanted to use this pot on my 790i FTW Analog Edition but opted for the Ultra board because the Jankpot Mount interfered with the water cooled Vregs on the FTW board. The bolt down plate encroaches on the chipset block and vregs just a weeee bit too much for comfort.

All in all, I'm pleasantly surprised by the performance of the "Jankpot" and feel that anyone who picks this pot up for the low price of $75 or so will also feel like they've hit the "JankPot" and be a winner.

The pot itself has a very small footprint and actually is much easier to work around. The mating surface of this pot is perfectly sized for socket 775 processors. I'm fairly certain that 1366 users will need a "JankPot II" revision to sufficiently cover the 1366 processors. Comparing the towering lug of a copper pot I have and many others build, this little alu-pot is easier on the mobo because its much lighter.

I'm sure Travis can easily extend the mounting screws by about 2mm to make mounting much easier.

I'm in need for one of those temp probes and will be giving the pot a run at the 9770 if it still lives

Thanks to Travis Jank a.k.a. V2_V3 for providing me the opportunity to take a run at his affordable cpu pot.

Man I still get a kick out of the frosty pics.

That's the best part about benching is when the frost first forms on the top ring of the pot.

I think that bowl of white powder looks like it came from the evidence room.....no wonder there are no new scores from Hawaii.

Been slow on the streets

I can't wait to have something like that to play around with! Got alot of learning to do first though before I attemp anything like that.

Awesome pics Supes.... I know what is frosting up the pot, but what is flowing in the lines on the GPU to frost it up like that??

That Jeffro, is a Liquid Cooling System comprised of a modified air conditioner evap (part of ac that gets cold) submerged in a cooler with an anti-freeze/water mix and then pumped out from the cooler @ -42c thru -25c into the gpu waterblocks, chipset nb block and back again.

Prior to obtaining cpu pots and dry ice, I tore apart one of my older air conditioners and made a chiller, home brew style. An overclockers gotta do what an Overclockers gotta do

I don't care who you are.... That there is ExTrEmE!!!
