Default err, fail run but COOL PICS

Heya,

i hate to say "omf omf im gonna have a ln2 run" then just dissapear and never say anything.

Anyway this is what happened.

E8600
XFX 790i
2x Asus 8800gts 512
Corsair Dominator 1800's
Corsair 1000W psu


Okey, i potted everything. Cards, NB, CPU.
All cool, booted the system and started clocking.

I found my max was around 600 fsb, so 6ghz it is.

at -45 on the cards, (they can both do 1150 - 1200) i clocked both to 935 core, 1185 mems. This was at 6ghz. I get a nature of 1725, that means i would get about 1850 - 1900 on 1100 core each, which is easily possible.

I ran in to instability issuess which is normal with the 790i, and decided to call it before something dies or before i waste LN2.

I ordered 20L in a 30L Dewar, so i think when i bought it there was only about 17l, and that went quickly in only 1 run. So i decided to try some single 8800gts on an air system with only GPU ln2 cooled. On my last run, i was going to finish a 2001 run, i threw in my last bit of ln2, and then a fan on the gpu fel of ONTO THE RESTART button. Hows that huh! So i finished my session with 0 results.

BUT i have the confidence that this system can take 2001 wr for dualcards.

Oh ya, everything was fine and working til the moment i power down. Now my 790i wont start. stays on "FF" so i think that one is dead. ;p.

Anyway, no scores. But im sure in future i will get that dualcard wr, i have to try. My GPU pots were amazing.. the load holding on those are Excellent, also the controll. I love them.

The cpu pot however failed heavily, pardon THE PUN. its way 2 heavy with way 2 much mass. I have to thinner the inside and deepen the holes before i can use it again, takes too long to get cold.

Anyway, hope i can still join in on 2001 low clock, will see what happens ey.

PICTURES!
