nice guide there peter;)
perhaps by spoiling the dry ice into your sink put some dice into a bottle with some water:o
i am getting pritty good at it :^D

since i discovered dry ice, i am getting addicted to it :D

next run within 2 weeks with colin and dothan action:ws:

:super:

nice one :super:

Nice one.
But Amstel beer? :p naaaaaaaaah

there's reason Peter is dying to come to Belgium for a [M]eeting;)

Cool :)

nice one there Peter, only I missed some SLI action with Dice :)

Extremely COOL ;)

send Peter some of your Belgium famous "drinks" to be in the follow up review.

non alcoholic :)

I would say "crazy" but that wouldn't cover it.

Seeing you in action with the plexy though gave lots of ideas.

Would you/Could you built/design/suggest a Dry Ice case?

Something convenient for the every day(?) Dry Icer=-)

Great article :)

And i agree on the Amstel thing. Next time get yourself some real beer with that dry ice ;)

Faiakes, dry ice is unsuitable for every day use i think

Obviously, but a specially designed case would help.

It might help, but it's impossible because you'll have to keep filling it w/ dry ice and aceton (which you'll have to do oustide since aceton is dangerous stuff).
Plus, it would be very expensive. Single stage phase change would be more effective and cheaper over long term.

I'm very curious to see if there is much improvement in gaming benchmarks @ 3.4 or sth!

however, I wouldn't call dry ice for the budget minded, the preparation itself is not budget minded in the narrow sense

buying the container from Jort or Petervandamned is not a very expensive action to take; neither is the acetone or Dry Ice itself.

it's budget minded solution for sub zero cooling compared to TEC/Watercooling & Phase change:)

only good for a day or so, my Phase change system still works after 3 years.
divide the price with that and you will find it will be much cheaper then a DICE run....

my thought exactly...

not everybody has €800+ lying around to "invest"

most will do it for a fun run & experiment

Dry ice would be like renting a bottle of nitrous to push the car for a burst of high speed rather than owning a 12-cylinder super car ;)

Or, going to the cat-house rather than having just one woman :D

Sensing the "high" without any commitment!!

You can go phase change pretty cheap, find and old fridge and rip the compressor out. Or even better, find an old air-co and rip the compressor and condesor out.
Then you'll only need to find somebody that can braze and most other toys won't cost that much.

Even cheaper and more easy is a waterchiller, just drop the fridges freezer in the water and you'll get just below zero.

very accurate comparison, thanks :super:

What car did the Doctor just order? ;)

I never run high oc-ed 24/7. Only for some benchmarking.

Totaal cost of the container / dry ice / isolation about 100 €.
Container you buy one time.

But remember IT,s FUN to do :)

Maybe i try some LN2 later if i find a reseller in my hood.
Must be no problem with Europoort in about a 15 min drive ;)

I drink good belgium beer in double and triple, but you should not lay that in a box of dry ice IT spoils the taste!.
