CPU COOLING FOR "UNDER PRESSURE GAS" MODE
CPU COOLING FOR "UNDER PRESSURE GAS" MODE
Hello!
I'm searching for a new CPU cooler for my 955 BE @ 3.7 ghz. I need something quiet but powerful. I don’t have much money, so I’m not buying a Noctua or a full water cooling system. These coolers aren’t very quiet—they’re just barely silent. I’ve seen some DIY options without moving parts, like a passive cooling case or liquid cooling with Freon.
I know there’s gas in spray paint cans, and if you spray them upside down, they can get cold. Or maybe back in the past, when soda was made with carbon dioxide cartridges, the gas would be very cold. But I’m not sure if that’s a good idea. I might try blowing up my house just to test if it works with “under pressure gas.”
Do you have any other suggestions that aren’t too risky? Or do you think “under pressure gas” cooling is a bad idea?
It looks like you might be spending a lot of money without getting much value, and you're considering upgrading to something like the Cryorig H7. You're currently using an Aplenföhn Brocken Eco with extra fans, but it's not stable—you get blue screens over 60°C. The issue isn't the cooling hardware itself, but rather the chip's operating voltage and overclocking settings.
Essentially you're discussing a high-end CPU cooling solution. To move the coolant around you'd need a compressor, pump, radiator, etc., or if you didn't want to circulate it, you'd have to manually add more compressed gas and create a system to manage its evaporation rate. Regardless, this involves quite advanced CPU cooling technology. A standard air or water cooler would likely be more affordable.
It looks like you might have spent a similar amount already and could have gotten a decent air cooler. What is your budget? I think the Cryorig H7 would be a good choice for what you're aiming for. I currently own an Aplenföhn Brocken Eco with extra fans, but its CPU idle temperature stays between 52-54°C and spikes above 60°C during stress tests on prime95. It isn't stable, as I've experienced blue screens over 60°C, which is why I'm looking for a better cooling solution.
Nothing without moving parts will remain truly quiet.
Some large passive coolers rely on a solid case with intake fans to expel air.
If you're on a tight budget, I suggest the $35 scythe kotetsu—it will be nearly imperceptible.

The issue seems to lie in your OC settings or the chip voltage, not the cooling hardware itself.

Looks like it might be risky and seems like by the time you finished building it, you could have spent roughly the same amount on a decent air cooler. What is your budget? I think the Cryorig H7 would be a solid choice for what you're aiming for.

955 BE @3.7ghz (c2 stepping)
vcore 1.42
If you get a blue screen at 60°C, the cooling setup itself isn’t the issue.
Your overclocking settings and the chip’s voltage are likely the cause.
I’ve seen many videos about overclocking this model, with some people pushing it to 4.2ghz (they use C3 stepping chips). But I don’t think 3.7 is too high for a C2. These AMD chips can handle up to 62°C, which is why I suspect my temperature is the real problem. My voltage is fine, but if you drop below 1.4V, I won’t be able to load Windows.
