Hey guys, this might sound like a bit of a stupid question but give it a sec and it will make more sense. So basically i've got a few socket A (462) CPU's dotted around my place and i want to bench them under cold. Now basically i want to be using dry ice for my first time benching cold and i've decided to bench my socket A cpu's since they are cheap and disposable and i have a couple of NF7's i can risk braking

Basically what i want to ask is, where could i get hold of a dry ice pot small enough to fit onto the socket, or would i have to have one made for me. The holes are practically touching the CPU socket so a normal size pot wouldn't fit, or would i have to get a regular one then clamp it down????? Cheers for you help and time guys.
 
i think your best bet is to make a mount which you can use to clamp a normal pot down with dude, or machine the bottom of a pot so its smaller but then is useless on other sockets :s

wow

sigs broke, i wonder how far back it was i only had 9 points xD
 
Know any plumbers?

If so get some 50-60mm copper pipe, only need 100-200mm or so leangh and a end cap solderd to the bottom. then use some thermal glue to stick it to the cpu, and just go carefull lol.
 
Lol cerbrus i like it, I'm gunna try that for the shits and giggles anyway even if its no good

My first experience with dry ice is going to be an interesting one I think

I could get the parts from the tech department in school. This might sound stupid but could I get the pipe and then a small bar or copper billet then solder it to the tube, that way i have a bigger weight at the bottom of the pot and i have the space to make a mount to clamp it down? Getting exited about making the most useless LN2 pot of all time now. At least it will be dirt cheap. I could get the acetone for free and the dry ice for next to nothing too. This is going to be one fun week. I should be revising for my exams though

I'm currently testing a MSI HD7870.

And my god this i one sweet little card. Running 1300 MHz on the gpu and 1600 MHz and the ram so far.

Will upload some scores to hwbot later and maybe some pics with meassure points and volt mods.
 
Just uploaded a whole bunch of benchmark results i've had saved on my usb for a while, and now we have got over 10,000 boints. Good job guys, that means 46th place has been taken back, top 45 here we come

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Just a quick random one, anyone have any modded NF7 bios's saved on there computer??? If not does anyone know where to download them, kinda hitting a 220FSB limit and i need a modded bios to help me.
 
Cheers rasmus, was exactly what i was looking for. Might try a few out to see which works best. If i remember correctly it was the d10 BIOS tuat was best for the NF7's.
 
Do you guys think i should get a X48 Rampage Forumla for £28 or just save up for a Rampage Extreme???? Was thinking about using the Rampage Formula on a bunch of old Pentium 4's i have, and since they can run at 1:2 or a 1:1 memory multiplier, i should get the highest amount of stability when pushing the FSB right????
 
My new toys, 17 extra processors to be benched before the end of the month. Not bad for £25. Hopefully they will give us enough TPP to push for the number 45 spot in the team league, can't let the auzzies beat us
