Phase Change this! Mach I
 

I got myself a Prommy, nice bargain :)

Yesterday I started it up & lookie lookie some nice ice!


Today I have an Epox 8RDA (ctgilles) and a TbredB XP1700+ to play with.

I started of rolling the motherboard in a nice little package!



seems pretty decent :)



Now the evaphead installed



all ready to go ->



After bootup I went straight into the BIOS

CPU temp of 18°C that dropped after 10min tot 11°C
hmmm.. the Prometeia read -46°C

bad contact ->



No problem, following the guidelines on the prometeia website I put some extra spacers on each screw.. put it all back together

CPU temp of 9°C
hmmm still some spacers left.. I start screwing them tight again..



I'm just too damn powerfull :^D



luckily I have 1 spare screw (thankx to calantak)
might try it again later.. this night :)

you made a major mistake there
after you've mounted the evap for the first times, remove it to see whether it makes good contact. same stuff when mounting a new heatsink, you'd never know something goes wrong

(cf.: SLK800+coppershim doesn't make contact with die.
beki mounted his alpha for the first time. he didn't check it, and due to some rubber feet on the hs it didn't make contact either and the proc died)

btw: nice to see you going subzero :D

well it's game over now, cause the screw is stuck

have to dissamble the whole lot, lateron

cant wait that long

reinstalled, again 18°C
maybe it is the position of the head & the evap..

cpu is @ 9°C in the bios after a couple of min. with vcore @ 2v

XP1700+@2500Mhz

200x12.5

can't get higher
how do I unlock the higher Multipliers?

is this the correct way to do so?

call me stupid, but I find this page very confusing

that's the spirit ! :D
Besides, it's way tooooo crowded if you wanted to go out :D

Unlucking all multi's is done as quoted. I saw that info on several websites, in different threads ... haven't done it yet, should be mucho simple.

going to install the whole thing into my Chieftec, because I'm convinced the position of the head isn't optimal at all

I still have +0°C temps @ idle, with enough contact

to unlock higher multi's you'll have to wiretrick it (only multi's 13 and higher available!)

When I'm able to obtain -0°C temps then using 13x will be no problemo

Changing an 8X Bit Value LO to a HI, to access 13X and higher from default Multipliers = 12.5X and lower.
Tbred's rightmost 5th L3 bridge will be Closed. Palomino's L10 bridge pair will be Closed/Open L to R.
General solution is to reset that signal circuit HI. Options:-
1:- Tbred, open the closed 5th L3 bridge.
2:- Palomino, change L10 bridge pair from Left/Right Closed/Open to Open/Closed.
3:- Tbred and Palomino, solder wire to socket AJ27, connect to Vcore thru 100 ohm resistor, (remotely switch/toggle).
4:- Tbred and Palomino, connect AJ27 socket hole and nearby AH26 Vcc/Vcore socket hole with fine wire u-loop, replace CPU. Or connect the "bases" of socket pins AJ27 and AH26 with conductive ink. Note risk of accidental Vcore short circuit since no current limiting resistor as in 3:- above. See socket/pins pics for all locations above.
