  1. Do I need to put a cascade, single stage compressor or more in that bundle to be attractive?

    (dual stage goes for 400€ as long as you are re-working and shipping it yourself...look for my old 8800 GT(S) topics to see it)

     

    Just found old GPU package...no idea how many hands those cards have seen but in pretty good condition...

    200€ bucks depending on which cards/ovps you see (9800GX2 aint for sale :P )

  2. Hey folks,

     

    time to sell some stuff as I need to make room for my VR-space (and pay that damn vive :P ).

    Gigabyte X99 SOC Force

     

    - very good condition, never seen cold

    - package in very good condition (stored in non-smoking office)

    - was for reviewing and testing but after 4 CPUs and no real gem I gave up on this platform

     

    350€ shipped within Europe Zone 1 with DHL (if unsure, PM)

     

     

    PowerColor 7990

     

    - very good condition, never seen cold

    - package in average condition (seen a flight from taipeh and some traveling)

    - was for reviewing and testing but never liked the 79XX cards

     

    500€ shipped within Europe Zone 1 with DHL (if unsure, PM)

     

     

    Otterauge Rev. 4 full copper pot

     

    - last edition of Otterauge's LN2 coolers before he stopped building

    - full copper, around 3 or 4kg pure mass

    - best for holding temps at a very exact point with enough time to do stuff and not only pouring

    - good condition, might need some polishing

    - screws and plates included, no springs (never needed any with this heavy puppy :banana: )

     

    180€ shipped within Europe Zone 1 with DHL (if unsure, PM)

     

    Bundle of all 3 items: 949€ shipped

    Bonus-Bundle of all items above + Banchetto 101 Bench-Table: 1049€ shipped

    -table comes in extra-package as the original package is pretty huge

  3. * No IGPU

    * No dynamic change of CPU frequency

    * No C-states

    * No Turbo Mode

    * CPU temperature reading is incorrect

    * AVX instructions have very low performance

    * Windows XP ACPI not supported

     

    Sounds like pretty cool oldschool overclocking out of the bios with no changes in windows - tweaking contests incoming...guarentee it!

    Thanks man!!! :celebration::ws::ws:

  4. Finished my first prints today with the usual PLA-issues...part curling xD

    Infill is 90% which is always critical but still better than using fixed honeycomb with low stability like here.

    Make sure your 3D printing shop offers full infill for the critical parts taking the heavy forces during ihs removal process with low part curling

    (usually rules out any PLA "stock"-printer below 1-2k...closed ABS systems undergoing testing next week btw).

  5. Yeah let's go over creating stuff like backplates and cooler-mountings.

    I was way more annoyed from these than heatspreaders over the years xD

     

    Never had a perfect fitting mounting plate for my compressor coolers back in the days due to boards changing mounting holes every month...always drilling :D

    same with the top-mounts of some pots - older ones can be upgraded with some new holdings and work fine.

     

    If you miss some specific older pot / singlestage mounting maybe just report here and we check if we can build one...

  6. I thought 939 would be much easier - the HS itself is so plain :P

     

    Maybe use a blocker for the HS or invert the inlay part - again many options ;)

    Think it is best to add side-guards as well in the top area so you really have only 2mm to move the spreader which hopefully is just enough too make it pop off or at least get loose.

  7. This one is for oldschool-benchers - AMD Socket 939 edition.

     

    preview-new2-s939-ready.png

     

    The first one to be compatible with a PGA chip probably ;)

     

    Modul holds the HS (I found one of my old Venice 3200+ and measured it), counter-part should press against the PCB (and pcb only!).

    Make sure it fits tight, if it goes over the side of the PCB you will surely bend the pins and destroy the CPU *shruggles*

  8. preview-new2-ready.png

     

    Went over to a vice design which twists the principle of the other 3D file as well as adding the possibility to swap inlays for more versatility when new CPU or older CPU dimensions are in need.

    It holds the PCB and the slider will go sidewards to the HS - if the printed plastic is too soft it can be reinforced with a small metal plate.

     

    Theoretically it should be possible to make it working for older AMD CPUs with pins as well....hmmm should I give it a try?

     

    Just added one (fun) plate from LGA 2011 according to the Intel spec pdf. But borders are too thin I think...these cpus are huge and soldered :P ^^

    Should be fine to share - but be carefull you probably want to hold down the cpu and the socket holder with a clamp just to make sure it stays in place.

     

    Also I assumed 1.2mm for the PCB height...not sure if this is the optimum value as I heard people saying the Pentium G for example has a bit higher PCB.

     

    STL files and AutoCAD files

  9. Why would you use this design of a block moving and delidding the CPU, how would that work with plastic 3D printing? The screw would just go into the block unless you add some type of metal stopper. Why not make the block solid and push the bodies together like the other 3D printed design?

     

    see dev-note from 22/11 - it will be more effective when you use some kind of metal shield instead or in front of the "bolder block"

    This is an easy detail to solve...mixing materials is always helpful and mandatory during DIY.

    Never rely on the printed parts only - think about how you can merge things together!

     

    And as I said for the beta...this is a fresh sketch - we are not at the "works instant and everybody can understand" level yet.

     

    JUST DON'T USE WOOD-SCREWS!!! xD
