Liquid nitrogen frostbyte on my TRI-SLI GTX 285 lol

chispy

It was one of those horrible benching days that everything that can go wrong DID went wrong lol. 4 LN2 Pots too much too handle for myself alone

, my wife does not want to pour the LN2 for me lol. As you can see My 3 GTX 285 at -144C on LN2 got totally frosted

, but after that ,the condensation and all that frosted hardware turned my Motherboard into a swimming pool , enough said i had to stop the bench session that i just started in a hurry , went to get wife blowdryer to dry all the hardware and let it dry ovenight until tomorrow , fingers cross nothing for hoping nothing its dead due to LN2 Frostbyte. I promise you guys on my last Subsero tread some Crysis benching as well as Farcry2 at 1000/2000/1500Mhz GTX 285 TRI-SLI and i7 965 at 4900Mhz + , but it just did not happenned tonite , i will retry tomorrow with some luck i will post the benchies results.

Truly, Epic win.

Ouch, I hope the hardware survived!

Why didn't you asked your kids to help with LN2 (you had 2 of those, right)?

And g'luck with tomorrows benchies.

army of kids clearly needed. if you had like 20x2y/o they coulld stack up and use their combined power to help you. this way you are left with 2 specimen that require more growth to reach the same pwoer of many inferior kiddos.

Sorry guys , one of my GTX 285 die during the last attempt last night at -150c on Ln2 and 1.41v lol , darn the card was doing 1008 Core 2000 Shaders 1478 Memory. Oh well another GPU going to hardware heaven R.I.P. , I will get a new one and will try again during May , as i am going for an overclocking event in New York , Lots of Overclocking Masters will be there overclocking with me on Ln2

, i will have better insulation next time and with a little help from the guys at the event i will give it a go at benching Crysis and FC2 during the event , after trying my best for some world records. I will report back results in May , keep an eye on this tread as it will be very interesting one

Oooh, I hope all goes well for you. Not only are computers fun, but they aren't cheap either. And your system is high end and expensive. D:

Thanks V , no worries about killing hardware here ,Thas the risk of this hobby, so its ok if it dies , it will be replaced asap. I enjoy it too much overclocking

I couldn't take up such a high end hobby...>_> I don't have the money as it is.

Pics are huge...but perhaps they should remain that way to retain their glory. Shame about the 285 dying, but I wish you best of luck in New York!

ahhh 1Ghz core w/ tri-SLI GTX 280... sorry about the GPU, the benchmarks are going to be awesome though!

Oh yeah, can't wait to see these beasts stressed out of their minds.

jeez, I wish I had that kinda money to possibly risk setting roughly 1000 bucks of graphics cards to their graves... along with the mobo any everything. Where the heck do you get all that money anyway =D

Thank you for the words of encouragement guys. I will keep on trying and I will deliver soon or later the benchies.

I would totally be doing a mad scientists evil laugh if I was overclocking a system like that. Where do you find the parts like that? Imagine going to PC World and asking for that stuff. They would think you were mad.

LedHed

Classic, only cowie will try to top these pictures

Hope those GT200b's come out of the ice sickle alright and you can get some good benches and break some records.

You really need a trained assistant when working with that many pots and LN2

On another note your LN2 mobo pics reminds me of the Hoth Levels in Rouge Squadron

@ the_nasty_one

Thanks

@ PNeV - Yes i do get the mad scientist laugh when i brake world records , my cooling equipment comes from all over the world , k|ngp|pin LN2 pots (From USA),Kayl LN2/Dice Pots (From Australia), Duniek LN2/Dice Pots and Mounts for SS (From Poland) and my home made North bridge Pot for LN2 all cooper

. Heres my cooling equipment , (Please dont ask the price paid for the equipment :/)

@LedHed - Only our friend cowie its crazy mad for subsero benching like me

, as a matter of fact he will be attending a big overclocking event in New York with me and we will team up for the LN2 runs as we are buddies and best friends , we have team up before for subsero benching and have bench together bringing some crazy numbers , we make a great team , so braking some WRs will be accomplished me thinks and hope (crossfingers , knocked on virtual wood)

More to come within a few weeks from New York Live Overclocking event

hahahhahaha, thats for sure

. Im making progress in my world Ranking and very happy for it. I am already an Overclocking Guru at hwbot and in the top 100 from 17536 active overclockers from all over the world , i am ranked Number 85 right now , but im working towards braking top 20 before the year 2009 ends

. Then by next year 2010 ill try my best for top 5 world wide

.

@ cowie , winter in my mobo

,wait until we get together again for benching within few weeks , i will run 5 LN2 pots on my boards

it will be crazy cold fest

Awesome! Hope you get that insulation man and get in the top 20! Good luck and have fun!

p.s.
How long does it take for the LN to evaporate, i.e. how often do you need to refill? (for instance the cpu pot)
