Damn that's hot. Weather forecast shows about 25°C next week.

Sauber Boris!

You can also have a look on my pots: http://www.der8auer.com The Fusion 3.1 is sealed and also supports dice. Plus I'm in the EU so no import taxes for you and I offer free international shipping.

It's always hard to say which pot is "better". LN2 pots are more about your personal preferences. Whether you like a fast control or rather smooth. A lot of mass, better structure, mounting and so on. If you go for dice you should use a container with less mass or you won't hit low temperatures. Be aware that Vince does not officially support Dice to use with his containers. Venom is not leak proof for Acetone so if you buy it make sure you get something to seal the pot yourself.

if you run de-ionized water over a board in ambient air it wont be de-ionized anymore after few minutes. So the video is pretty much legit.

Cool place to work realy!

I've got Alloy 1E, 4 and 290. So I'm testing alloys with 100% In, 52In 48Sn and 97In 3Ag 52In 48Sn has lowest melting temperature with about 115°C but doesnt realy stick to the die. 100% In needs about 160°C soldering temperature and sticks properly to die and nickle of the IHS. I did 2 tests with nickle plating and without nickle plating (pure copper). Seems to work better on the nickle tho. Which oxidation do you mean? What voltage did you try?

Yes I agree that it does not work for core temperatures below zero. My CPU was running wPrime at 1,5 Volt 5 GHz with Pot at -150°C. At this point CoreTemp always shows 0°C on each core. Also if you cool down to -180°C it still shows 0°C Now heating up the pot CoreTemp will eventually show positive temperatures. This happened at about -110°C. CoreTemp then showed 3-5°C and raising. Without load the CoreTemp shows again 0°C but with load it keeps raising again. I lowered the clock and voltage to not damage the CPU and did the same test. At 1,2 Volt and 4 GHz CoreTemp showed +5°C at a pot temperature of -30°C. Heating up the pot to +20°C CoreTemp shows about 56-60°C which is pretty normal. (all on load) Conclusion: CoreTemp does read out correctly if the core temperature is positive.

IHS cooler looks like the ECS one

Would be awesome if you could add this. I did a lot of team competitions on PCGH forums in the past and always had to post submissions there and calculate it manually.

As ASUS is hosting this event it's their decision to change rules or not.

Yea I'll also be there

I've seen the sumbission right after the competition ended and contacted giorgio. He said he'd provide the link and there it is. So everything fine here I edited his result and added the correct link.

I thinks Slamms made it quite clear in front that only real overclockers will be allowed to be there. If he has no real teammate ASUS will organize somebody to help him poure the LN2

Whahahaha

I benched together with Teurorist from team Awardfabrik I wrote it down on the screenshots. He's my teammate.

I was actually ranked 5th when I wrote this Still congratulation to everybody who made it!

Yes for those who realy bench until the last minute - respect. But I'd rather see a competition also over more days than just the last 2 hours.

This sandbagging game is actually pretty retarded. Hope that one day the HWBot server just crashes 2 hour before the competition ends to stop this.

Seems legit

Whahahaha fking hilarious :D

Just don't upload the stuff 5 minutes before the competition ends....

Updated the first post! Thanks! I did my first test in a normal oven as it's pretty easy to control the heat. Will take a look at these C-Clamps tho. Direct IHS contact is pretty dangerous and the connection would be still TIM which as a thermal conductivity of about 8-9 W/m*K. LiquidPro is made of Gallium and not Indium. Gallium has a thermal conductivity of about 30 W/m*K. Soldered Indium has about 82 W/m*K. I will do a test with LiquidPro between IHS and DIE tho so we can compare it Should be interesting The temperature in the core will highly differ from the temperature on the corner of the DIE. And yes the core realy has positive temperatures even if you cool down the pot. Thx

Sam I just used it to test the maximum solder temperature and whether the soldering process itself works. After that I will use the 3770k for LN2 testing
