Extreme overclocking

Update 15 June 2016 To acquire any version of AfterBurner, please contact your local MSI office. Update 04 May 2015 As some of you already know, there's now a very simple way to get ABX >>> Just send a PM to Pepinorang. Requirements are the following: You have to be registered as an Extreme/Elite overclocker on HWBot.org. You need to have already submitted at least 3 scores using sub-zero cooling (dry ice or better) on VGA. Send back the NDA form we'll provide to you, signed. Pay some drinks to Pepi whenever you come to Taiwan. Be aware that, Of course, you have to respect the NDA form you'll sign. The ABX version you'll receive s…

Intro Not much to say, just a list of people/companies making LN2 cooling gear. Might be useful for some of you. No links to pictures yet ... something to do for later. Also, I'm sure I've missed A LOT OF pots; just post in if you need some to be added.

Over the last 2 weeks I soldered 9 x A/E/G-Power to TitanX cards and I wanted to give a little feedback of what 8 Pack and me experienced while benching a ton of TitanX cards. GIGABYTE GPower Initially we planed to use 4 x G-Power from GIGABYTE because you can connect the G-Power controller via USB to the system and controll the cards over software. It's easier for 4 cards than using the controller. Following my TitanX-External-Power-Guide I attached one G-Power first and applied the normal FB-Memory mod. However, using 1,75 Volt on the memory the stock VRM died. Probably just bad luck because on all other cards the mod worked without any problems. As a result…

Hey guys and girls, To make this short and to the point: I am looking for people who want to help researching the real cost of extreme overclocking. At the moment, there is very little public information on the real cost of our expensive hobby. Because the lack of hard figures, it's difficult to explain to anyone how expensive overclocking actually is. I am looking for overclockers from any league, Elite to Rookie, who are willing to help with the research. The idea is to document every expense and income related to overclocking during the year 2015. That includes documenting the liquid nitrogen costs, hardware purchases, travel costs, prize winnings, etc. If …

UPDATE: TEST 2015 HERE Extreme-Overclockers are always trying to achieve the highest scores possible. No matter if CPU, GPU, mainboard or memory - everything has to run perfect in order to set up new records. The latest generation of Core i7 - Ivy Bridge - scales brilliantly on deep cold. Without cold bug the CPUs are limited by the pot and thermal compound. I will test 26 different thermal compounds in the following test to see how they perform with air cooling and liquid nitrogen.

(http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?p=4209697#post4209697) SO nice to see MSI pick up on request so fast. I hear they are also working on the vcore issue. Great, awesome, Super-dooper!!

As the market is a bit short on 1 DPC ram pots as boards are moving towards 1 DPC for XOC boards, I designed this pot with input from onewolf and zeus. frostvolt rampot Version 1. Comes in 2 variants, black anodised aluminium and nickel plated copper. the aluminium version weighs 220g and the copper version weighs 720 grams. all fit into a width of 24mm.

As I have been wanting to venture into the depths of XOC, I made my own budget container from various hardware stores and by modeling my own mounting plate. I will be updating the socket mount to universal use but all I have is 775,115x & 1366 for now. I have all the CAD files if needed and if you are interested, they are just a DM away. Hardware usage: The main vessel used in this was found at Walmart and can be commonly found as a “Mule Mug”. I picked this mainly as I have been eyeing them at local stores for a while and when they were used for the US Country Cup Meet earlier last year. One of the only completely flat bottom vessels which ha…

I searched for a thread like this, but can't seem to find any. I know there is one (or more) on XS, but I figured now that I've fallen back into the misery where I have to negotiate and pay for my own LN2, I might as well moan about it so everyone can see. So, the question: how much do you pay for your LN2? My current deal runs at 22 SEK + VAT per liter, working out at a nice sum of 27.50 SEK, which in its turn is... 3€. I was much happier when I had someone pay for my LN2.

I haven't decently overclocked anything since my Athlon XP 2500+ (and I totally didn't win the silicon lottery with that one ?), but lately I've had a lot of fun with some LGA775 CPU's. I've got some nice numbers on air, especially with the -5°c we've got lately here in Belgium, but I feel some of my cpu's can go even faster with some more extreme cooling methods (and having to wait for a cold night, then sitting in my bedroom on my bed to trying to overclock the computer that's outside on the balcony isn't exactly comfortable). So there's a couple of options I'm considering and I'd love to get some feedback on my thought before I make a decision. FYI: I'm not lookin…

Hi - I'm considering going sub-zero (Dry Ice first). right now I am using water and Direct-die so I must re-lid my CPU first. In the process. what product should I use between Die and IHS if I'm going sub-zero? Can I still use LM? I know LM is a no-go between pot and IHS, but can I still use it between Die and IHS? Anything better to use when putting back together the CPU? Thanks

Big fan of overclocking, and this for more than 30 years, I just recently registered on HWbot, to do overclocking, but with old hardware, just for fun And while rummaging through my stocks of computer parts, I came across Asetek's Vapochill Light speed, stored there on a cupboard, sheltered from time, and the idea immediately germinated, but we have to talk about it, get it working again, a piece of history like that, and in like new condition. Through photos and videos, I will try to make you rediscover the Vapochill LightSpeed. Hoping that you like it. Dive back into the "golden age" of overclocking through this…

Hello! I bought used copper pot and it didn`t came with mounting plate. Before I go and make it by hand I ask if anybody got the thing drawn so I can make it cut by laser ? Or maybe .stl for 3d print? The pot diameter is 71mm, I hope I will use it on 775 and 1150/55 motherboard. The more holes the better . I could use a good big backplate! Thank you all and have a good one, Blaz

I'm a complete noob here and I have no idea what I'm talking about but I've watched some videos on youtube recently on LN2 and dry ice overclocking and other extreme methods and it seems that condensation is kind of a big deal. https://1921681001.id/ My question is why don't they put the motherboard in something like a box or tub so that when the LN2 evaporates (since its denser than air because its colder) it sort of fills the tub and removes the 'air' and everythings in a nitrogen 'atmosphere'? Or just pour some in the tub and let t https://19216811.cam/ his evaporate? Wouldn't this prevent condensation as long as you don't waft around too much…

Hey guys, during the development of my ln2 pot I modified a Kingping F1 Dark to see if I where right with an assumption. I connected the 4 inner holes of the pot with an cnc mill. I let a pillar in the middle standing. The results where really good. @P5ych0 tested the Pot bevor and after the modification on his i9 9900ks. Result: The pot maintains the tempreature under load much better (looses 3°C less than bevor) and is able to push the chip to 6.9Ghz in cb r15. Bevor the modification 6.86 ish where the max the pot could handle. Picture of the mod:

Hi, posting this here since I am not sure if it has been posted previously. So, as we all know, sometimes AB comes with some limitations that require to test and find the appropriate version of AB/ABX. With this in mind, you can use Cheat Engine to lock values in the different voltage/clock memory addresses. On the following video, it is shown how to overcome the 1300 (1.3v) core voltage on the 5970. Please note that you can save the memory address as a profile on cheat engine so you can load it every time you select ab on cheat engine. That way you don't have to do the whole search. PS. similar program that works as well is artmoney Che…

I have been around a few years and I have seen and killed a few CPU's in that time. I enjoy is a good challenge and one of my oddities is figuring out if I can revive from post code 00 and what I tried successfully to recover. It helps to have a known good CPU to test but that's not always possible. After you confirm the obvious of reseating, no bent pins, and tried a different board to no avail, there is still things you can try. When you press the power button the fans come on? They should come on high speed and quickly rev down. If they don't rev down press the reset button(it should not work), If not use the restart button or the bios reset butto…

This is a guide on how to raise the target power limit of your GTX 1080 with a resistor mod. In my case, I used an EVGA GTX 1080 FE. Your card can differ from mine. I am new to forums (actually this is my first informative post) so I hope it'll help you. Feedback always welcome! After doing some research about modding the shunt resistor on GTX video cards to raise power limits, I decided to do skip the liquid metal part because the composition of this metal could damage the resistor/tin and there is also a chance that the liquid metal could drip off the shunt and short other components. But beware that this is basically a permanent mod and can hardly be reversed. …

So this might be a stupid idea but if you were to make a mounting bracket for a ln2 pot for a phase change unit you could bring the temperature of the pot down to save on ln2 use. If anyone has tried this or has any insight into this let me know.

I just successfully shunt modded my EVGA 1660Ti SC Ultra! Posting this here because it's a very uncommon mod for this GPU as of right now and I'd recommend anyone brave enough to try it themselves. Very worth it in my eyes! Please note before anyone thinks about attempting this themselves consider that I have added a few mods to help with thermals: There is liquid metal on the die which should only be done if it's a copper or nickel heatsink. Mine is copper. GP-Extreme 12W/mK thermal pads are practically everywhere and specifically added between the back of the PCB and the backplate. Both GP-Extreme pads and a spare heatsink were added on the VRM's,…
