C2D experiencing significant thermal issues from the die to the IHS?
C2D experiencing significant thermal issues from the die to the IHS?
Let me try to figure this out. Back then people were really worried about a CPU dying at 1.45V, running at 470 fsb for 4.7GHz or something like that. Was it a board that handled high FSBs and you just doubled the multiplier? I’ve got my Zipties but don’t know where they are anymore since I gave them to Mom. She actually found a purpose for them. Now I’m completely confused about cooling—direct die would be perfect, but how do I install the CPU? I’m not sure if Zipties will work with these tubes (about half an inch) because they’re pretty stiff. I do have that 212 backplate with screws, maybe I can get a bit more creative with that and the mounting bracket.
No fatalities occurred, and no one felt threatened by the voltage since it was essential for our use. I was processing at 551x8.5. My speed was around 603fsb, though I wasn't sure if it was the board, CPU, or RAM—it was just a PC8500. I didn’t push too hard, and I went through many D9s from various players, so I wasn’t eager to swap another set. I handled them kindly.
Check out eBay for a 40mmx40mm water block priced around $6. It works well with TECs or can be used on CPUs. You can find it here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/382628645086?ha...SwbyFfPyt6 Then you’ll get a basic submersible pump. Smaller options cost about $10. Just ensure proper flow is established. https://www.ebay.com/itm/402660440642?ha...BM0IfIgspg And then just a Tupperware or small wash bucket. Of course, you can add ice to the water for cooling. This would be the most affordable way to help you with better cooling, within your budget. EDIT: This looks really good. Considering it, under $20 would be custom water cooling that’s likely on par with 240mm AIOs! I’m familiar with all this because it’s one of the methods I’ve used before for chilling TECs. A note from a TEC: If you’re running a LGA direct die, the CPU retention bracket should be removed. The cold plate you need must be at least twice the weight of the old IHS plate. Extra mass is added for thermal storage. The downside is it takes longer to cool down and also slows the CPU up when heating. Hope you’re in the US too. I’d send you some gear to keep you busy for a while!
I only have one, but directing it seems tricky. Zipties might work, but I’m not sure. I’m not using tech yet, so maybe a used fridge chiller would be better—it’s more efficient.
I prefer dry ice since it's affordable and provides real cooling. A 100w fridge chiller won't work, and 60w TECs aren't suitable either. You should use TEC# 12715. Just keep in mind it can ignite materials.
Don't restrict the TEC settings. Prepare for chilly conditions. That unit 12715 kept my 2700x multi-core processor at 4GHz down to -30°C. It was drawing around 225W from my 12V rail using an Antec CP series 1000W PSU.
