I meant sheets of armaflex, not armaflex tape. yeah, i'm not going the gulftown route. i always want an xtreme chip, but never get one. SBe sounds really boring to overclock. I fired up my under-the-ice SS, with the SC18CLX danfoss and the big old copeland that he made a few of and it went to -50c in a minute or two. Hadn't done that in a while, so was a little worried, but now i am not. So then i was like heck, why not fire up the other SC18CLX chilly1 based one with different condensers. It's in pieces because it used to have a case, whatever, i'm gonna clean up the wiring. flip the switch... nada. Two butt splices have come apart, one that interupted the hotline to the switch for turning it on.. the other was something else. haven't got around to resplicing them (solder+wire nut+electrical tape, no buttsplice crap). Hopefully once i reconnect the two wires it will kick right on and pull -45 or so.. because that's all it can do with the condenser it has (really wanna cannibalize it into a dual stage, use the condenser as a desuperheater, SC18CLX makes a solid first stage too.. but then i need ton of other hardware, oil seperator, hx of some kind (plate or tube in tube, ideally plate) 2nd compressor and condensor, and i'd want a hot bypass so i could work on buggy chips... i do love phase.. but adding a 2nd stage will definitely cost more than building a single stage.
