EVO 2.3 X6800 dice vs. LN2

[harleybro]

I decided to start a thread and list the scoring achieved between dice and LN2. This would give users an idea of what they might see by trying extreme cooling. I am very happy with the EVO 2.3. It is defiantly the best tube I have ever used with LN2. As for dice there was a bit of difficulties. It took quite a few times of running before finally figuring out that the chinks of dice where catching on the center post and not always dropping to the bottom of the tube. I found a work around for it. I used a little more acetone then I normally would. I would also use a screwdriver or similar item to smash down the dice. This created a sort of slushy mixture in the bottom. While a test was running I would continue smashing it downwards. As long as the mixture stayed slushy enough it would keep the bottom of the tube covered. Now here are the somewhat finalized dice results. I was at a cooling wall where additional vcore wasn’t helping any further. These where run with a bios reading of about 1.72vcore all settings except memory where left on auto. Note these where not all limits on dice as I have moved to LN2.

Wprimes and 32m had not been run on extreme cooling just water

LN2: I have spent a few hours over various evenings trying to get this thing stable on LN2. I now know my limit will be around 4800-4850 @ -120c and 1.75vcore. Once the board is vmodded I should be able to push up and above 5gig. Right now I am voltage limited. The second evening of running I started getting errors c3 code would appear and lock my mobo. I at first thought it to be a condensation issue. Last night after the system had dried I tried again and would get the same errors. This would also show an odd msg on the screen indicating a bios issue. Well I took one of my old mobo’s and yanked out the bios chip. Installed it on the rig I was running and was able to boot fine again. Apparently I got my bios twisted up. Then I spent the next 45 mins trying to get it stable after numerous crashes and freezes I found the issue. Set vcore to max. All other voltages also set to max and I was in business. This is not max super pi but finally a completed run. Pictures to be added of LN2. :thumb:

Well now without vmod I am benching closer to 4.9-4.95 for 2d 3dMark01 and AM3. The other 3d benches should be good to around 4.85 or so. I am getting eager to vmod the mobo but botched one this weekend which cost me another board. :beat: For now some more pics:
