I would suspect after reading about your other 3 stage and the amonut of load that one could hold it would be some where in the range of -130c unloaded and below -100c fully loaded.

I don't remember what loads were used in that past 3 stager tho.

I would like to see a load handling ability of 300watts or more to be able to handle the high heat loads of Core I7 chips.

From my tests with my 920 D0 and LN2 I was able to take my chip to -130c and was still able to boot at that with a 5.3ghz over clock and vcore of 1.575.

How ever the sweet spot for this chip was in the range of -90c to -110c and did not find a real use of going lower for high OC's.

How ever with other chips this might be different.

Also AMD chips would love the extra cold and lower temps are better with them.

My thoughts on single or multi stage units is to go for max load temps and generally try for higher load handling ability as you never really know what chips you will put this on later.

From what I understand about these units is a low unloaded temp is not allways the best for handling loads. Better tuning of units will result in better load handling vs lower unloaded temps.


That stack is looking very nice tho NOL, good work !
