LN2 not only dangerous to u but it kills the proc and mobo efficiently also..
Arj if im not mistaken, DI wouldnt be enough to cause ice to occur all over the mobo..So with proper insulation like master arj just shown us here..Ur hardware is quite safe..

Haiya i got slow streamyx connection today, some pics dont show up..
Im dissapointed..

Btw, congrats 3.2Ghz is just awesome..
Lookin at those step by step pics, it motivates me to put my winnie under that DI..

I know winnie had subzero bug, but u might never know..

Hmm but those containers, How much u got them for..
and all those stuff such as electrical tape can be obtained from normal hardware shop?

Tripple? woaaa... we're talking more than -30C here..., well than i guess the bug is partly sorted.

yeah PCcrazy, you'll never know unless you've tried..  neway can tell me where can get those liquid nitros? Need special license or permit to get hold of em?

LN2, im not sure cos normally its not accesible to consumers..
Its just like all those acids and chemical stuffs..
If u happen to know somebody working at science lab, i think this might come handy..
Hmm, maybe i jus give my buddy a call and try asking if he could get his hands on LN2..

some funny thoughts to share..

Dry Ice Obligatory Warning
Madshrimps ©

Carbon dioxide is heavier than air and it can concentrate in low areas or in enclosed spaces (like a car or a room where dry ice is sublimating). Normal air is 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen and only 0.035% Carbon Dioxide. If the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air rises above 5%, carbon dioxide can become toxic.

Arj, u sure u r not toxicated laugh.gif
Any clue where did u get those big blocks of DI..

For those wanna know more bout what arj is actually doing, this would be a good start

http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=gethowto&howtoID=59

To summarize the contents:
1. Background of DI, what is it? why use it?
2. A little bit info bout the container..
3. Insulation techniques, very similar to what arj did..
4. And the fun

Ever wonder how DI is manufactured..
http://www.dryiceinfo.com/mfn.htm

So, enjoy..
Maybe next time, we will see you doing DI benches..
It looks easy to setup, but believe me you will run into all sorts of problem..

Now since u all have read the above given links..
Here comes the quiz for today. laugh.gif Why they call it DI?

Btw, Amok you have my support..
Go for it dude, you have the skills..

what will happen if accidently the container drop to  the our body
is there any fast aid to do if it accident contact with our hand

Non prolonged contact with Dry Ice is okay...
It is not hazardous or fatal compare to Liqiud Nitrogen...
LN2 instantaneouss effect is very dangerous... sweat.gif

I got a feeling that DI round 2 is about time brows.gif

Its not good to hear that arj, isnt it a possibility that the culprit was your memory controller. I have notice some forumers at XS lamenting their new FX-55 wouldnt go past some point jus because of that bug.

But no worry, your venice did well though...
Btw this DI test, run on DFI or MSI?

I used my NEO2 for both DI runs. I don't think the memory controller is the culprit because used high multipliers and low HTT.....

Yeah, the FX-55 is not locked upwards laugh.gif
So you can totally eliminate memory out of equations.

On DFI SLI-DR this time around. laugh.gif
With two SLI'ed ultras just can't wait for 3dmark scores to be released.
De_Cruelz and arj are pretty much the king here right now.

I think it's actually cheaper for Westerner to dwelve into crazy overclocking and modding stuff. In general I think it's much more affordable to get parts and hardware overseas as standard of living is high. If I was living in Msia now earning RM I can only dream of building a A64 and whatmore SLI rig smile.gif

This is what I think: For a Malaysian, a simple, tasty and filling meal will at most cost roughly RM10 a meal including a drink. Let's say to purchase some OCZ value VX ram locally will set you back about RM600 (just a rough currency conversion).

In Australia, a more than filling good quality meal with a drink will also set you back AUD10 on average. However, for me to purchase that similar OCZ ram is AUD170 here! In other words, I would have to save money much much longer before I can get to purchase those OCZ sticks if I were living in Malaysia and earning in RM smile.gif

Food is cheap and standard of living is low in Malaysia. Factoring out currency exchange, there's a huge gap compared to Australia. If i'm not wrong, Sydney, Australia is ranked the 3rd highest standard of living in the world.

Back on topic, i'm eagerly awaiting some results from arj. He's gonna be my main contender for the 3DMark Hall of Fame smile.gif. This is gonna be interesting thumbup.gif

You've got a point there De_Cruelz. My sis and few of my Aussie friends makes thousands of dollar easily there...De_Cruelz, UNSW?

Back on topic, How is the overclocking progress of those 6800gt...
Is the waterblocks ready yet.

A block of around 250g can last about an hour if you just leave it alone outside the icebox. You can bench for around 7-8 hours with 10kg of DI biggrin.gif


You do the math xcrue...
