oh6, whats the specs on the phase machine? SS-Cascade-temps-maker?

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you are hitting ocp/ovp as well, I get the same thing myself.
But have also found on some cards, you can get the same kind of looking screen with the mem to cold.

I almost never run them under -60 or soo, but have done -120, but that just makes other issues.

The Teks are a pice of art, if you are using a 5.0, wait till you try the older 3.0, it's even better at holding a load.

Oh man, 1152 on air, that sucks, never had one that bad before.

Me too. I spent the last 13 hours trying to squeeze out one decent run out of a GX2, but all I managed was a 92.5k, and on that there's no screen. I couldn't even get 960MHz 6-5-5-15 working for some odd reason, nothing worked like it did once.

not a spot of vaseline on the board or the GPU...i hate that shyt. kneaded rubber eraser all around. you can see in the one photo that i use eraser on the board, then once i mount the card, i simply connect the board's eraser to the cards...all around the slot. completely air tight, completely sealed, and never get condensation anywhere except on the out side of the eraser. which is why i put shop towels around everything, then the frost just forms on the towels and not even on the eraser.

here is a shot of the front of the card without the towels...



and a shot of the back without towels...



i will basically stick this back in the slot, re form the complete seal of eraser around the PCI-E socket, then wrap the setup in a shop towel or two like in the previous photos and it is ready to go. 6 hours as cold as -140C last night an is easy as pie to remove (just 'rip' it out of the socket), and just as easy to re-insulate after drying off.

old Chilly1 SS tuned for E6600
never goes below -40C on the evap with an i7 and usually around -30C ~ -35C for all the work in the 01 challenge. definitely needs to be 'upgraded' for i7 but it does it's job of keep the CPU cold so i can run high uncore for memory testing.

cool, will keep that in mind for moving up memory clocks, definitely no issues at 1152 with the pot at -120C ~ -140C though, so hopefully that is a good thing. maybe they just clock like crap at ambient but will be a bit better with some cold...fingers crossed.

you are playing with fire
you should at least use vaseline on the gold contacts and the slot

[skarface]

Well good luck everyone not long to go!! Maybe when chuck isnt soo busy ill start playin with u guys.

Thanks for posting the insulation pictures I had been considering doing something similar in regards to just using eraser to seal the slot to the card instead of grease, glad to see it's working for you.

It's been fun watching the scores come in so far and I can only assume it'll get even better the closer we get to the deadline.

Nice run Jody


Man, now I want to try.

[punx223]

thanks for the info jody... taht will help greatly as so many people push for using vaseline (which i HATE) so im gonna give taht a try once i can get GPU pots

just keep in mind everyone has to deal with different humidity levels. i have been benching like that for well over a year now with no ill effects...but i also bench in a small room with A/C cranking. still humid but the A/C helps a lot.

haha, thanks boss. tonight wasn't going so well, and i thought i might be done with what i got last night. i thought you jinxed me though because i couldn't run memory at 1152...damn you with your knowledge. before i was aware of it, i wasn't running into that problem

then i installed new drivers and back to normal...not sure what that means.

like Dino said and i mention up top, different environments dictate different insulation necessities.

here are a couple more photos after shutting down tonight, plenty of snow was made again, two days in a row





look ma, no grease, and no moisture...
