Ln2 R600

[tuchan]

The fact that R600 undoubtedly at extreme conditions is too hot even for liquid nitrogen clearly shows why AMD chose to postpone the more extreme version of the Radeon HD 2900 series. The chip itself is very power hungry, but the power leaks in the 80nm processor are undoubtedly the reason for these extreme power consumptions and the even more extreme heat dissipation. This in itself is no good news for AMD, but we could look at it from the bright side as well.

HE NEEDS REV#4 GPU POT THE REV#1 is just not enough and doesnt have the correct mass in the select places for ln2 and that kinda heatload.

Just shows oyu that no brazed pot period, or any alumi solid pot will do at that level so its solid copper or nothing.

I think kincs kinda mad, but when I made that pot it was cutting edge solid coppe rpot for both dryice and ln2 for the gpu at that time 8800 series or below, now I have had 3 more rev's in the works since then fixing issues that came to pass and spending $$$ in r and d its crazy.

I said Id make him a pair, but him like many wnat everyth8ing cheap and or for free and when you play at the top with the hardware most of us do its cooling first regardless of cost then hardware and way i see it if oyu cant or dont want to pay you need to live with what oyu have or want to pay.

I wish my machinetime was free as was the copper stock, but it costs so much :(

still 1250mhz core is nuts that he hit up from stock 750 thats 500mhz or 75% increase :)

Kinc was talking about taking the card under liquid helium ... :rolleyes:

But anyway, 1.2GHz+ core is just :eek:

[mickeymouse]

liquid helium has no heat removal propertys when used as we use liquid nitrogen

you really need a 2 stage helium cooling system with either ln2 or another helium gas used as an insualtor for the inside main helium cooling :)

I find it funny that a 75% overclock is considered just so so.:p

and the more gpus get like cpus and we all know what kinda heat some cpus put out via 4-5lbs cpu pot the harder it is to cool them

I have a few ideas to help cooling gpus and cpus but untill i run ln2 myself those extra steps that will be $$ will not come to play :)
