LBBLE 0519 3500+ venice @ 3250mhz DRY ICE (56K MURDER!)

[afireinside]

After 4 failure dry ice runs on my 3000+ DTR I finally went 939 and finally got dry ice to work right. 3d refused to run but I believe it was because of my memory controller. It slaughtered my max mem clock when cold. Anyway I'd like to thank Jason aka mickeymouse for being my dry ice mentor so to speak because I was like total noob before and kingpin for hooking me up with this sweet tube! So here we go its pic time!

Insulating:

I used nail polish (sexy red ) to seal off the caps because I had an issue with condensation on them twice on my NF3, I also covered around the entire socket and back of the board around the socket.



Next I put two layers of pipe wrap around the socket to insulate the board and caps and a layer on the back over the mounting bracket which seemed to fail as I had ice back there after the run.



Three wraps of pipe insulation around the base of the DI tube to create an air tight seal between the tube and the socket insulation and keep ice down


Checking contact and adding some more AS ceramique


Mounted


Insulated tube



Setup


Running:


ICE!



Temps, -70C before boot and -65C or so loaded



Frost at end of run


Contact...

Now results:

1M 3250 max clock


1M at 3200 with higher ram speed


8M maxes at 3155

CPUZ valid:

Not the best of chips, only did 2800 on water and 2850 ice water neither totaly 3d stable... Mem controler freaks out at these temps as well Might give a 3700+ diego a shot now, not sure. Well sorry for the long post but I know everyone loves pics so I figured I'd post a bunch Quite happy that I finally had a good dry ice session.

That has to be the most happening nail polish color I've seen. Steal it from mom eh? Nice results but i think its time to play with real cooling http://www.trulymadlydeeply.biz/imag.../ice_cubes.jpg

Good **** man!

OMG! That SP8M sucks, totally.. Here´s 5m21s @ 2841Mhz

I think he stated above that his memory had to be lowered. SPI is very memory intensive....hence the scores.

mem at 243, no a64 tweaker, win 2k, no other tweaks, ran after a few other runs.

[dinos22]

yeah 8M score is shocking....I'm doing that at 2840 2T on my venice

Nice run, but u need a cpu that really deserves that di. Like u said, maybe a 3700 diego is a must. Nice run. next DI run, maybe electric blue nail polish?

[afireinside]

Well I originally ordered a 3500+ claw but ZZF sent me a venice... I'm going to contgact them asking for a refund because they sent the wrong item. I got the claw because of cold bug but whatever I can get around it with a deigo

It's always neat to see these DI tubes.

Great clocks

nice OC...whts up with the slow spi run?

^^^ See above. He's running at very modest ram timings. SuperPI is very reliant on memory.

Actually I'm running 2-2-2-5 but the rest weren't pulled down with a64 tweaker. Something weird is up...

Arent you a little young to be playing with LN2

But yea, those 3500+ Claws are rare and go faster on FS than a $200 ultra...so a venice isnt too bad, but for that type of cooling, I'd have gone ol winnie first.

Anyhoo, excellent results, on first go...though 27.7s is nothing that cannot be achieved with watercooling...on a good fx we're talking air.

EDIT: Would've been nice to see a cpuz mem shot

[afireinside]

rare? I ordered a CLAWHAMMER from ZZF. It says clawhammer on my invoice. It should be a claw. What does "faster on FS than a 200 dollar ultra" mean?

Also, incase you can't read the english title, this was on DRY ICE and not ln2, I can't find any ln2 around here.

And 244mhz BH5 is nothing to write home about so no CPUZ shot. I've got 270mhz shots from my nf3 on my photobucket if its that important...

And what kind of moron buys a winnie to put under dry ice, especially with venice now.

[CRUSH-ER]

Corrected - I meant overall ram speed, though you didn't post your timings until now.

Heh, not the best chip no
Here is my old 3200+ with Vapo LS and horrible divider (just testing)
