This is Insane

Re: This is Insane

Don't forget ocz is supposed to be coming out with a sub $300 phase unit sometime this summer, which looks very promising.

Yea, that was the one i was talking about earlier, once the price drops to 200 or less, i might buy it.

You can pick up a Promethia Mach 1 for around $400 last I checked.

The promethia MachII GT and Vapochill Lightspeed are common, but they run $1150 and $800 respectivly. Not to mention the added cost of your power bills.

As for how it stacks up, most will keep a CPU to -50C, consistantly.

You can always go custom, but that requires ALOT of knowlage about refregeration tech.

YEP. I've been rooting for France the whole way. Wow, I'm so happy, haha. Most people voted that Brasil would win, but they're on their way home now. :)

Portugal doesn't stand a chance, IMO. Both teams played horribly today, compared to the amazing performance by both France and Brasil. I think its going to be France vs. Germany in the final.

Yea, haha, brazil finally loses, i'm happy other teams have a nice chance of winning now.

Still too expensive for my tastes. Anyways, if i had the money to spare, i'd just upgrade other stuff besides the CPU.

$800 Cooling to cool a $316 E6600?

:hmm:

Eh, phase gets to the point where it's a hobby more that practical use. If I had the money to spare I would definately do it just for the fun and learning experiance.

Re: This is Insane

How does phase change stack up, and how expensive is the cheapest phase nowadays?

Haven't bothered to upgrade since I bought it almost a year ago. It's perfect as it is and lets me run 2.7Ghz (FX-55) so I'm happy.

Re: This is Insane

No idea. I don't keep up with permanent sub-zero cooling. Too much of a hassle, IMO.

Costs way too much too, say, Flanker, what cooling do you have for your 3200+?

Re: This is Insane

LN2 is much better, but how cold do you need it to be?

I mean...whether its -150*C or -70*C, its not like you're going to be running into heat problems anytime soon.
