You're saying to do this temp delta checking with no DICE in the pot?.....And do you mean 3mm above the top of the holes/bottom of the pot?

- DICE submliminates rapidly and does not keep in your freezer at all. Any extra will not last two days.
- Mount your pot snug
- check insulation around base of pot/cpu socket
- power on motherboard, enter os, check temp readings
- put pc under load while monitoring temps (wprime is good)
- Look for temperature delta at load between POT temp probe and software readout
- If temperature delta looks good and normal then you have good contact/mount
- scoop a few spoons of DICE into the pot, pour a small amount of acetone (just enough to be 3mm above the bottom of the pot
- Add more DICE (be carefull of volcanoe acetone, at first acetone is room temp and may volcanoe out a bit as it cools)
- Start clockin.
If you are using alcohol instead of acetone, you shouldnt get as much volcanoe action. ALcohol will vapor off and you will need to keep adding for time to time more than with the acetone. Alcohol will gel up at the bottom so make sure to use a screw driver to mix it up down there. |
