Nice stuff buddy. Is that a newer design? If so do you plan on selling them also?

Copper ones?


I was going to buy a chilly1 copper one, but if you are making copper now, I'd be more than happy to get one of these.

With all that ice, did you have any condensation issues?

Yea I am gonna get 6 copper made up. Chilly1 no longer is making pots. Hell he cant even finish a phase unit. Hes about 2 years backed up on those. The only guys making pots in the US are MickeyMouse, K|ngP|n, and myself really.

No issues what so ever ran for over 4 hours with no problems. It was a little more humid here then i would have liked but my insulation job held up just fine.

In four hours how much LN2 did you use?

Is it easier to insulate with the taipered bottom?

I'll take one, most definately, just PM me when you have them done.

Tappered bottom just means a few more sheets of insulation. Makes it easier to get a good mount as well. I used around 10-15 liters maybe a little less

I would think the tapered bottom helps with insulation...

It would give the area around the socket something a bit beefier to push down into as far as closed cell foam...and the angle cut into the pot give the water a path to run that does condensate that it has to run into something that will soak it before the board attracts it. Unlike the previous revision..

This is a good design bro.
Now just tighten up all the other standards in your small manufacturing process like holes drilled on center on brackets etc....and you have gold on your hands here...
Looking forward to seeing more.

Keep up the good work

Awesome work dude. But see, that is the one problem I always had with LN2 cooling. 15 litres in 4 hours. And since that pot doesn't hold that much, I am assuming you had to keep adding to it. Would be hell if you were playing CoD2 or somethings. It's great for benchmarking, but that's it.

Now, if you could figure a way to setup a closed loop......

I understood that...

I just know for the quality you shoot for...and the crowd you shoot for...the hardcore enthusiast...
It makes sense to get tight quality control when making such an impressive product.

These look pimp....

Keep up that work and I may just buy one of them....lol

Thank you Mace for making the hold downs again. You really are the man. I am trying to get around 6 more copper pots made up within the next 2 months let me know if anybody wants one.

Man, this stuff is amazing I don't know very much about overclocking and all of the extreme cooling techniques you use, but I can sure spot hard work and an attention to detail when I see it. And those numbers just blow my mind! Very nice work Cpt., as well as anyone else helping you out
