the vapochill ls

The Senile Doctor · 19th June 2004, 19:16

well.
first very preliminary thoughts...
1. it looks great, package is great.
2. installation is a bore especially first time around, prepping the cooling unit is a lot of work the first time around...
3. once installed and all little connections have been made (235054 connections more then a prommy mach1...), mine booted without any problem...

I just installed it on a ai7 + 3.2 I just purchased, put it at 4.1 ghz directly (randomly) and voltage at 1.7, and booted.
It's priming now, and looks stable with 100% load (prime + f@h) at this speed and voltage.
Temps?
dunno...mbm and other just crap along about 0°C cputemp
weirdly the chillcontrol doesn't show me any temps ....

mbm doesn't wanna show me any temps with multiple versions, same thing with hardware docot/abitEQ.

oh what the heck, I'll try it next weekend on my trusted 3.0 setup

nice.
to bad no temps.
4.1 is great, but try 4.2-4.3, your ram is not maxed out now

The Senile Doctor · 20th June 2004, 07:43

these overclocks are nuttin' special, I had 3.65ghz 24 months ago with my 2.66 and mach1

I've gained 500 mhz in two friggin' years, DUH!

I need something special.

what would be the best thing to combine with this vapochill to have the biggest gaming power? fx53 + socket 939?

Gamer · 20th June 2004, 08:37

yep, if you remove one pin on that FX53, then it would work

A64 3200+ is something I would like to buy, but a newcastle, not a clawhammer.

but 4 ghz is enough to power that X800Pro.

The new FX53 has 939 pins, not 940. : )

It's indeed the most powerfull cpu one can get their hands on nowadays, but it costs an arm and a leg.

And why do you prefer a newcastle (2.2ghz 512kb l2) above a clawhammer (2ghz 1mb l2)? Most prefer the clawhammer, as they overclock +- the same while the clawhammer has more cache.

i thought newcastle oced better then a clawhammer and because of that the difference between the cache dissappered

I think herr doktor can arrange that

Patients enough, no?

The Senile Doctor · 20th June 2004, 16:48

damn....
I sudeenly had a very weird sound, like a thump, something imploding.
mbm screen was up and showed as in the attachment, I took a screen of it. everything worked, and then one second later another thump like that, and everything went dead, the hdd lives, hooked it up to spare rig... the screen was still on there
vidcard, cpu, mem and mobo are all dead...
3.47 vcore, 3.5 vmem, and extreme overvolting on both +5v and +12v lines.
Something blew up?

hmmm.. sounds familiar, does the Vapo still work?

Quote:

Man it didn't start out so well. About 15 minutes after I made this thread there was a bright flash and the vapo died. Turns out there is a fuse inside that blew, but it's an odd metric size that's 20mmx5mm 10A 250V and the only fuses with that rating around here are 1.25" long. I got a fuse holder form radio shack and I'm about to break out the soldering iron and make my own correction to the problem. Other than that(and it could have just been a faulty fuse or something) the vapo was doing extremely well.
