From here on in there's a world of blue screens and frustration awaiting Durvelle. The quest for the next couple points can be long and fruitless at times. You find yourself questioning the very fabric of your nature.
Then it runs all the way through, you can't believe it did but it did and just enough points to put you in the lead. Life suddenly seems worth living again . But some jackass always comes along and rubs your nose in it and trounces you by 20 pts. Then it's back to the world of blue screens till you figure out WTF they did to get 20pts a a slower speed than you???

im speechless, that's exactly how it is for me lol sitting there making tiny adjustments, freezing cold, getting annoyed, thinking 1 more run, 1 more run! lock ups on screenshots and pushing through to beat the guy!

although I have your face on a dartboard and scores written all over my hand

and im constantly on hwbot checking for scores, or if some new guy found a good chip!

It's obvious to me, they ran an Intel.
In all seriousness, I've given up on the UD5 Rev. 3. It throttles like a bitch and took everything I could throw at it to keep all cores at 4.5 without cores dropping speed here and there.
Wish I could go back and get an Asus instead

You guys know where I could get a nice inexpensive pot

Well aren't we the Jokey McJokester today?? Besides it would be more like 200 than 20 if ya wanna be realistic.

Ya it's too bad that Giga put the screws to their boards like that with the Rev3s. From the initial results I've seen on the Rev4s the pattern continues. It's a real tragedy. I've seen some with the UD3 rev 1.1 and they have no issues with high clocks at all. Don't know why Giga did it to be honest, doesn't make sense.

Sorry bud, why don't you see if you can borrow something till you know for sure if you wanna go down that road. I've heard it's like a crack addict going to Columbia. Just can't get enough.

maybe.. ill ask about shipping.

if not I bet johan has contacts for over the pond, maybe second hand..

I can watch the classies and that at OCF. That's the least I can do.

 

[d1nky]

so is this whats going to happen? us 3 getting pots, then taking over the FX world lol

 

[Durvelle27]

Where/who would I borrow from. I don't know anybody who uses Dice/LN

 

[d1nky]

couldn't ya try and start a thread asking..

If the system wasn't already up and running as a 24/7 system for my dad, I would have a CHV or Sabertooth on the way already. I must admit, the 8350 really took me by surprise at how snappy it is, even at stock. I can only imagine what it would be like to have one running ~5GHz 24/7.

Mostly overkill for 24/7. Depending on what you use it for. I keep the 8350 at 4.64 and the 9370 at 4.8 to keep the voltage and heat down. They work plenty hard at those speeds and really crunh video if that's what you're into.

@Durvelle27
Here's one for sale I kinda know the guy. Not personally but we chat. Take a look and get back to me http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showpost.php?p=7584071&postcount=1

 

[Durvelle27]

I run my 8350 @5GHz 1.5v 24/7 no problems


@Johan45 won't let me view it

Ya I was afraid of that It's homemade and $50 he lives in Chicago. You need at least 100 posts to use the classifieds at OCF. If you're interested I'll try and get him in touch with you.


Hand Crafted LN2/DICE pot.
I have here for sale a self made hand crafted ln2/dice pot available.

Need to measure it for exact measurements, but off my head it's 2" diameter and roughly 8" tall.

It's a real looker, but needs a polishing badly. Made from Brass Hand rail and bi-metal brass/copper bushings with a copper center plug that was extracted from an FX/FM1 heat sink. Was soldered together using a torch. I've tested this pot for leaks, it's solid.

I did test this once, but my results are unknown. The motherboard I had tried using this with had a nasty cold bug. Needless to say the LN2 had it stuck to the board, so I know it gets darn cold.

I designed this pot solely for LN2. I cannot say how it will work with DICE and Acetone. That would be up to you for trials.

Will make for a great cheap starter pot. Mounting and insulation is on you.

Shipping to US only. PayPal only.

As is condition, used, pre-owned but in perfectly fine working order.

Only looking for 50$ this includes shipping. No extra for the box, my fuel and postage. I'll take care of that! The 50$ will just about cover materials. basically the labor and good looks of this one are free.

I found a pot on OCN from kingpin for $45 so I think ill go with that.

 

[Irony]

is it screwed down or does it just sit on the CPU?

Edit, nvm, that was a dumb question

Any work of K|ngp|n's, from K|ngp|n cooling or even before that, will absolutely floor you with its quality. For $45, you stole that pot. Enjoy it, and I can't wait to see the results you get with it!

 

[Durvelle27]

THC. I've read good things about kingpin. I plan to at least get 6.7GHz if not 7

got my coollaboratory liquid pro on my desk, also got some black house to see what it looks like in my rig.

I cant decide what colour so only ordered a metre.

cant wait to see the temps difference with this TIM (apparently 'improves by the factor 9 to 150')

(it actually comes with a sharp needle like a medical syringe )

 

[Durvelle27]

Will be getting this pot

http://omniserver.pl/4ddd5/DI LN2 POTS/CPU/regular alu-alu pot/

And some Gelid eXtreme

Also anybody have some old tech they don't need I could practice on (C2D, P4, PD, etc...)

[d1nky]

changed hose, I wish I got black before tbh!

ill report my temp differences in a bit, letting the loop settle (and I got another kink by cutting 1 hose too short and had none spare!)

 

[d1nky]

Before coollaboratory pro

Spoiler

After

lost in average around 5*c, also the room has the heating on, I've taken the VRM fan off and theres a kink in those.

although a pain in the arse to work with, this TIM is pretty epic!
