Its not that hard to hold a given temp.

What I suspect that he was doing was one of two things, the CPU cold bugged not to far from that, or he didn't want to go colder to show that it fell apart with load handling.

Alum tubes and LN2 do not mix all that well when trying to hold temps. It will transfer the cold very quickly and then blast back to the heat load, or a extremely high swing compared to masive copper pots. The main reason why you don't see any LN2 pots made out of Alum.

Instead they use a copper base and then a Alum tube to save costs and it becomes very hard to machine the inside of the pot when its all one piece with a long tube.

The Koolance Rev2 pot is 3.4" in Dia., thats about the size of the F1 accross its square. It is 6.7" tall vs 5" for the F1. The copper base looks to be about 1.5" - 2" so its not very massive compared to F1 which is about 2.5" of solid copper with the holes in the base part or chamber.

I am not trying to say that it will not work with LN2, it will, but it looks better suited for DICE.

The price point of the Koolance pot is good for some one just starting out with DICE/LN2 and CPU's with warm CB's. It will simply fall apart with no CB AMD chips tho., and I suspect at temps colder than -100c

It would be interesting to see how this pot compares to an F1 with extender tube

I don't have the knowledge base you do bro, but my thoughts on the height of the base were pretty close to what you just said. Been looking at the F1 and a Alum extension for awhile but can't get myself to pull the trigger :( Would think the bigger copper block would have to work in favor of the F1. But then, I'm running Intel not AMD ???

Any idea where an i7 975 CBs out?

Was asking Assassin, in his YouTube videos he was looking to hold the temps at around -80C, and was pretty successful with it.
Those are not my videos

Not to bad of a review.

wtf is this...

Even if this pot isn't able to replace my K|ngp|n F1EE it'll make an incredible paper weight and coffee table decoration.
