    VGA LN2 prep help

    in General overclocking

    Posted

    Cheers guys for the help, and thats what i have been reading Viz about the 480L being a pain, may leave that one for now then and possibly stick with the 280amp as i have a bit of experience with it and with some of advice off viz beforehand mirrors what you say kenny about building temps up, it was getting there until i believe moisture got in the slot.

    @Roman, i was just using MX2 but have since gotten some PK3 after reading your reviews on TIM mainly due to the fact most of the time my hardware is on phase, once i know whats what and which cards can go colder i'll be trying some of the thermal grizzly. Iirc temps got to around -90c, going up from -50c in 10c increments and then testing.

    Can you provide a link to some suitable neoprene and a heating element.

     

    Thanks chaps ;)

    Thanks for the reply Roman, mainly using older cards to test first before using newer more expensive tech, next to test will be a 480 lightning, i have read that other than the core they like to keep warm so that will be an interesting test as i'd imagine there could be more moisture.

    Card before was a 280amp which was going ok and i was building clocks/volts/temps but i think again moisture in the slot killed that session again, so that defo looks to be my problem area :(

     

    With vas in the slot, will contact still be made? Ever thought of making a rubber gasket/skirt or something like that to sell Roman?? That would be great at diverting moisture away.

    I have tried a couple of times freezing VGA's without much success and after 20 mins it just seem to go to s*** and i just end up wasting LN :(

    1. So for the basics, just vas or LET the entire board?

    2. Using vas in or around the slot? Do i melt it in or just seal around once the vga is in place?? This can be difficult with little space(impact) as i cant get my fat fingers in to do this!

    3. Is there any rules as to which mems dont like cold??

    4. Insulating from cold? (Foam etc) again is this card dependant and generally which areas??

    5. Does pot size matter?? I have a tek 9 fat and slim

     

    Any help on this matter and i'd be truly grateful, i would love a session to last longer than 20mins!
