hi mate

i like your video...it's cool

for those who dont know what i am crapping on about have a look at 2:42 of this video and see how the ice forms in the holes

now your video and discussion makes me think that there might be a "fix" for this situation.........you are right about edges and mass at the bottom.....one thing that i am now thinking AMD LN2 pot design needs is this......the base need VERY tall craters/edges about 5cm high and it needs flow so instead of holes or example that F1EE has it would need the opposite.....it would need those old school matrix style grid at least 5cm high with about 20% of them going even higher in height to some 8cm....i would also leave the middle without any...just yank them out of middle...i reckon a mix of gold pot bottom and the one you showed me but both have drawbacks.......the bottom needs to be as wide as it possibly can be so that you can havea hell of a lot of these but there needs to be at least a cm between these matrices imo

the reason to have about 20% of matrices extending past 5cm to 8cm height is because thats where you want the LN2 to be in that level not allowing it to go higher or lower.....just leaving it around there when you need that little more....so the pot cannot be very tall at all for this so you can have a very good view of the base

i hope you understand what i am saying....hehehe...

there are a lot of ppl i would love to live close to damn it....you are one of them....mainly for that swimming pool thought lol j/k

Yup your right it does form some ice after awhile, both inside and outside LOL.

I think I have poured a 160L and 240L of LN2 into this pot, plus a few 50's and after awhile you get to know when its time to hang it up for the day, there are a few IC's on the Gigabyte Board that are close in to the CPU that really do not like the cold for really long periods. Chew even puts a heating pad on those <opps secret there> HAHA

This and the F1 are the only pots I have really used and F1 just is lacking for extreme stuff. I have seen many others that look pretty good for this also, like yours.

One thing that I have seen that is pretty cool is when I run this pot with out the center tube and start bringing down the temps to -180c ish or so the LN2 becomes very still and stops boiling, same thing I saw with the F1 at max temps. Then if I keep a large amount of LN2 in the pot and start jacking up the OC the sudden rise of temps will make it start boiling again rapidly, on F1 this may boil over and make a mess LOL.

Its just kind of a phase the LN2 goes through when it gets very cold, its interesting stuff and I am sure you have seen this with your big pot.

I have talked with Aaron from LN2cooling a great deal about all this and its still pretty much up in the air about which design is the best I guess, they all work, its just a matter of how well or which is the best performer.

When its above 100 out here in the valley that pool is so freaking nice. BBQ and swimming

Just reread what you were saying about pot design... that is very close to how the Phantom is, you would have to see it up close. If your going to CES look him up as I believe he will be at the XS event.
