So where is the Irish Overclocking Team?

unseen

Am i alone?

I started the preparation for hitting top spots. I am out of oc scene for ~6 months but i hope i will be back soon.For cooling i have cascade, solid cpu pot, chipset pot and i found from where to buy dry ice but i need help for LN2. Any ideas? Can i rent dewar from somewhere?

Who will join?

PogMoThoin

I'm willing to help, would love to see an Irish OC Team. Count me in

Anti

Sure why not. I have a few cpu's here i dont mind destroying. Also i have contacts for dice and ln2. Ln2 can be bought by the bag, but ln2 has to be bought in no less then 2L quantaties.

I was involved in the early makinging of a Team Ireland back in the Prescott/A64 days, nothing ever really came of it tho. We had one WR for a while tho on a Semperon 3100 /flex
Good luck with it tho. If your ever doing anything near Galway shout.

unseen

Does anybody have contacts in pc magazines, IT companies, hardware suppliers etc? We will need them.

A friend just told me that he will send me tommorow a biostar p45 and e8600!!
So where i buy/rent a LN2 dewar? Around 15lt is ok.

masteroftherealm

Anti, are you based in the west? If so do you have a DryIce supplier around Galway by any chance? Feel free to PM if ya want.

Anti

Nah both my dice and ln2 suplier is in dublin

unseen

Anti can you give them a call about renting a deware??

Anti

A deware ? Do you mean canister? If so they dont do that. We have to have our own. And i cant find anything suitible anywhere

conzy

I'm interested but I'm a poor student so all I can contribute is time and enthusiasm :P I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron / workshop so I can help out in that regard if anything needs making...

Me and Papu were going to combine our best PC components for some benching when hes back from Holidays, We wont break any records but should be fun, Q6600 and 2 4870s should see us over the 20k mark in 06 easliy

Wouldn't mind trying some dry ice ocing, Seems a lot safer than LN2 anyway :P

What about standard ice and some sort of anti-freeze solution in a pot? Any good for a short run?

Anti

doubt the temp would be lowered enough to go much further then normal watercooling.

unseen

The only site i found so far with dewars is this one http://www.promed.ie/b1webtools/catalog/products.aspx?CategoryID=2620

i will give them a call to see if they are renting...

Anti

I'd hope they rent as thats some crazy prices

masteroftherealm

For a Dewar, find a mate who is Chemistry or Biology in Uni and ask them to chat to whoevers in charge of their ln2 gear. MOst will have a dewar that can be borrowed at weekends.
And those prices are pretty spot on for new ln2 dewars.

As for saftey, DI is easy as pie keep it in a paper bag and use a gardening glove
Ln2 is pretty safe as long as you have a safe dewar and a decent sized thermos

I dont know about you guys but I started playing with my new toys...

Suicides Im guessing?
5.1 Is very nice even for that chip.

BadCharlie

Were did you get your hands on that chip ?

And what cooling you using to get 5.1ghz ?

unseen

@masteroftherealm yes suicide shot. @5050 can do spi1m.

@BadCharlie As i said above i used aircooling. An old typhoon. +30 idle, +47 during windows load. A friend from Malaysia send it to me, but in a few days you can find it at stores i think.

masteroftherealm

What kinda 1m scores you getting at 5050?

Anti

500mhz fsb. Thats impressive. Who cares about the chip, it seems the board is the winning part !

unseen

Yeah, Biostar ìs very nice board. Solid and with plenty of options.
Also it is not very expensive

Ebay

Anti

They almost look like dfi boards too !

awhir

ya biostar seem like the new up and coming mobo maker - they also made a lovly am2 board.

nice scores m8 , ln2 ?

unseen

No LN2

Please help! I cant find anything... Just lost one dewar in ebay.
I cant afford a brand new. Come on guys! Any good contacts?

Conar

I know someone that works in BOC in the sales side of things.
I'll ask them for you.
Tell me exactly what you need and I'll find out if they'll deal with 1 off customers.

Great!

Can you ask him please if they are renting LN2 Dewars (15lt-25lt), if they have second hand dewars (over 10lt) for sale and what is the price ln2/ltr delivered.

Thanks a mil Conar!

Conar

K, good news.

He says that they will sell to small users no worries.
They actually just bought over a small company that deals with small users so its part of their business now.

He wasn't too sure on the prices as he's used to selling to large users for about €2 per litre but he reckons it shouldn't cost more than €5 per litre.
He also confirmed that they sell or rent the dewers but wouldn't know a price off hand.
He's going to get me the prices on Monday and I'll get back to you with a number for who you can call to arrange it.
If you have any problems he's actually quite high up in the chain so I might be able to help there, but this is all in return for an honourary membership in the Irish OC Team :P

Strange, when i rang them they said they dont rent dewars of that size. only 50l+. But they did put me in contact with one of the guys that delivers the stuff. Have since lost the number.

I am going to cry! After so many months i will play with ln2 again!

Thanks , thanks , thanks a lot!!


Ps. Teaser: At 5ghz can run 3dmark01 aircooled @1,55

Hmm, that might be a problem.
I'm not sure if I definitly said 15/25l.
I'm drunk at the mo so I either can't remember saying it, or I didn't and can't remember not saying it :P

I'll check with him over the weekend.
Surely you could just throw it in a big refuse sack anyway, no?

Anti

Yeah refuse sacks hold ln2 no hassle

riptide

LOLOL I'm cracking up... :pac:

Conar

I hope to fcuk that people realise I was joking about the refuse sack yeah????

Obviously you'd need something with an insulated lining like a king crisps bag!

EDIT:
I'd forgotten to chase this up btw.
I've sent him a mail so I'll let you know when he gets back to me.

Conar

Got a reply:

"LN is approx €2 - 3 per litre, but there's a min quantity, so i think that works out around €60. I'll confirm that tomorrow. We rent dewars but nothing as small as this. I think our min size is 50 litre and it costs about €90 a month to rent.
We do sell the smaller size and I believe its around €2000, but you might get a better price elsewhere.
I'll confirm all of this tomorrow, but for now thats a rough idea."

unseen

It is quite expensive but there are no many options. I cant afford 90+(50*3) at the moment but if we are going to bench as a team we can share the costs.
With 50lt of LN2 we can bench 3-4 times( ~2 hours each).

Maybe if we arrange a meeting we can discuss all those...

replied there.

Bump!!

Just bought those two dewars from ebay so from now on we will bench on ln2 too




By the way last week i benched again with my colleague.

Conar are you still around? I need a phone number or sth from your contact. Boc gases dont reply to my emails and their phone is almost all the time busy. !

I have my ln2 dewar here sitting for months

Conar

He's not in the sales area so it wouldn't be him you'd need to speak with, but I'll ask him who's best to contact and get back to you.

Ok mate. Please dont forget me!
