Winter Season 2010 / 2011 - picture collection

Hey guys,

it's getting cold outside and I smell some benching fun outside and inside - this thread is not mainly about the huge numbers just about posting some pictures about winter benching systems

I had a small session with 7900 GT and 480 GTX but was unluckily interrupted by snow. The 480 seemed to like it outside and I need to get some ShadyBitch + DICE asap to have some more fun soon

Let's see your systems for long winter evenings

best regards

Haha very nice setup! ..but sitting there must have been a pain

Hopefully temps will go that low beginning of jan here when I have 2 weeks holiday.

Now that's a proper use for rog connect, no need to walk outside if it crashes!

That's absolutely glorious.

Just be careful with single-stages and cascades in low ambient situations. You can reduce the high-side pressure so much that you get very little massflow and horrible performance. Shouldn't be an issue around 0 Celsius but don't wheel your cascade outside in say.. -30 Celsius ambients

Now that's cool

I tried a cedarmill with -16 ambient last monday

got 6390MHz suicide

yeah it was really nice sitting inside while the system had do freeze its ass of

yeah I was told so also by the guy I bought the stager from - it was ~0°C and that seemed to give me ~8°-10C better temp compared to inside. while temp was a bit falling (maybe -2 to -3°C) it didn't got me any better temps on the cooling.

heatpipe coolers didn't do a good job for me last year - under load they will extremly lack performance as whatever is used inside the pipes isn't designed for such low temps. It was better for me to use an old slk900 plain copper cooler without pipes.

temps gettin' nearly -20°C here currently and I am not at home - whish I could be on my balcony together with one of my sandybiatches and some old GPUs now

I bench in my garage we get alot of snow but temps are usually around 20F so not so so cold. SS loves it though. -52c max on single threaded benches

wow that is a lot of snow outside - half a meter?

not that good with swiftech block but nabbed this and a few others.
