My First Ln2 Overclocking Session

[$ingh]

Hello everyone This is $ingh from India .Posting my first Thread Here ,Hope You guys like it

After a long period and with lot of efforts i am able to arrange Liquid Nitrogen and Successfully completed my first ln2 overclocking session with AMD Phenom ii x4 955be With the rock solid Motherboard Asus Crosshair IV formula and ofcourse with the help of my best friend who helped me a lot to make this Session successful ..

Special thanks my parents,my friends for the understanding and supporting me ..


Setup:-

Amd Phenom ii x4 955be ( Awesome chip with just 1.62v i am able to cross 6.4ghz)

Asus Crosshair iv formula (Great motherboard from Asus even with too much moisture on its components it still keep on working ..Rock solid Motherboard)

G-SKILL 2*2GB 1600 CL7 (max overclocks to 2230 mhz on it ...nice ram kit)

Radeon HD 5870

EX-1000 watt

Aoc E2251 FW

Self Made Ln2 pot ( Pot is working like charm ...i am too happy with its results )

Self Made bench table (just for benching)

25 litres of LN2


So here are some Chilled results :-


Amd Phenom ii 955be Overclocks to 6539mhz and Globally Ranked at 49th

Too much moisture in India these days made me to stop benching ... As approx half of my motherboard is covered Water Vapours

Its a great experience working with LN2 ..

Hope You guys will enjoy it ...

Simply awesome. Not enough people play with Ln2 these days.

It takes a LOT of voltage to get that last 140mhz!

The key to avoiding this is to wrap your mobo in a big plastic garbage bag that is sealed as best as possible (doesn't need to be airtight).

Do not cover the LN2 pot though, leave it poking up through the opening in the bag so the nitrogen can expand and escape into the room and you can fill the pot easily without opening the bag.

Cut holes in the bag to route cables in and out of the bag but tape the holes tight around cables afterwards to prevent air from getting through.

What little moisture is in the air inside the bag will precipitate out onto the pot sidewalls very early on, leaving the remaining air inside the bag very dry and no longer adding moisture to the board.

The outside of the bag will get cold and accumulate moisture, but being plastic it will protect the electronics just fine.

Prop up the bag over the mobo pencils or pens just to keep the bag itself from resting on your mobo components. Yes the mobo components will heat up a little bit inside the bag but the sidewalls of the pot will keep the air cool.

I did this with my vaporphase cooler when I was really worried about ice accumulating on the mobo and it worked. It basically creates a micro-environment around your mobo that is inherently dehumidified.

Thanks Alot @Idontcare ...will keep the things in mind from next time :thumbsup:
