Winter Season 2010 / 2011 - picture collection

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

it's getting cold outside and I smell some benching fun outside and inside - this thread is not mainly about the huge numbers just about posting some pictures about winter benching systems :cool:

 

I had a small session with 7900 GT and 480 GTX but was unluckily interrupted by snow. The 480 seemed to like it outside and I need to get some ShadyBitch + DICE asap to have some more fun soon :D

Let's see your systems for long winter evenings :)

 

best regards

GTX 580 Overclocking Session

Ambient Temp : -15°C

CPU / GPU / MOSFETS / Myself

 

Haha very nice setup! :cool: ..but sitting there must have been a pain :P

 

Hopefully temps will go that low beginning of jan here when I have 2 weeks holiday.

Just be careful with single-stages and cascades in low ambient situations. You can reduce the high-side pressure so much that you get very little massflow and horrible performance. Shouldn't be an issue around 0 Celsius but don't wheel your cascade outside in say.. -30 Celsius ambients :D

Now that's a proper use for rog connect, no need to walk outside if it crashes!

That's absolutely glorious.

 

yeah it was really nice sitting inside while the system had do freeze its ass of :D

yeah I was told so also by the guy I bought the stager from - it was ~0°C and that seemed to give me ~8°-10C better temp compared to inside. while temp was a bit falling (maybe -2 to -3°C) it didn't got me any better temps on the cooling.

 

I tried a cedarmill with -16 ambient last monday

 

got 6390MHz suicide

 

heatpipe coolers didn't do a good job for me last year - under load they will extremly lack performance as whatever is used inside the pipes isn't designed for such low temps. It was better for me to use an old slk900 plain copper cooler without pipes.
