I got a pot on the way...........F1 EE
Too bad I can't afford any LN2. Probably a good thing so I can learn how to use the stuff before I get it and waste it. :)

this is awesome news, you will never look back

Congrats bro! :D
|
I would say start with DIce but on AMD there is no cold bug to worry about...
See if you can borrow 200L of LHe ;) |
Addict born! Man it only took you two weeks from hanging the mobo upside down to a LN2 pot. :D Wonder whats next. :ohcrap:
|
I'm really not the type of person to start out with dry ice, but I may due to the availability of funds in the near future. It'll be interesting to see the progress I make by going to each next step of cooling.
I've already learned a very important lesson....my cpu runs a heck of a lot better when it's really cold. I'd love to test out my Opty 170 with cold, but I couldn't get either 939 board going in a recent attempt. What about the tube? EDIT: it's been a good 3 weeks :blush: is liquid helium expensive? It'd be fun to try. (nevermind..I don't want to know) |

LHe is crazy expensive and its gone quicker that LN2 so you better stick to LN2 or DICE for starters. :thumbsup: I know someone who is selling a small 15L Dewar if you interested. |
Naww I'm too broke to buy anything, but thanks. That would be good for like 1 session huh?

Moar is better... of course...
Dice is fun and a GREAT way to start, but considering you were subzero before dice.... I went from rad out the window in winter (sub zero celsius of course not F) to Dice and then to LN2... WOW... It is a rush. Did not keep my dewar, but figured.. I can only afford to get 160L at a time anyway...just need to move my bench closer to outside :) Have fun in your endeavors... The strength of AMD is in numbers... you can buy 20 AMD chips for what 2-3 top level intel ones do...(plus cheaper everythign else including power supplies and electric bill :p ) Basically design for LN2... might suffer a little on DIce... but you will go LN2... you will find it for $1 a liter or less.. might take 12 months but you will and on amd there is no reason to limit yourself to DIce. |
Great news!
LN2 is colder, cleaner, and gives you more titratable temps. But I still use DICE all the time - sometimes on one component when using LN2 on another. Highly recommend DICE experience even if you plan on LN2 soon. |
