Though you guys might get a kick out of this: A6-3400M on ice cube cooling

My little past bedtime experiment smile.gif

We all know that mobile llano (sabine) is capable of being software clocked using K10Stat. So I decided to bust out a lightweight dry ice pot and fill it with regular ice cubes!

All Set Up!

Getting Frosty...oh and If you're wondering why I'm reading the GPU temp, it is on die so it is the same as the CPU temp smile.gif

Mobile Madness! 3.4GHz on an A6-3400M APU

Beware of condensation!
Fun Fact: Right after I took this photo the water leaked through the seal and dripped down onto the socket. Luckily I unplugged the motherboard before any damage was done.


Now for a couple fun little benchmark runs!

SuperPi 1M @ 3.3GHz

wPrime 32m 4 Threads
3400M @ 3GHz


Well all I can say is that was fun. The laptop motherboard I am using actually has a broken connector for the LCD screen so I am waiting for a new one to ship. Maybe I can pick up a cheap A8-3500M and do some benching on that!

I only had to add more once in about the whole hour I had it like this. That is with lots of reboots and running benchmarks.

Nice. All you need is a drain for the melted ice, a small water pump that can move it up into an ice maker, then have the ice maker drop the ice into the tube. The Macgyver cpu cooling system.

I've always wanted to do that, just cut out and place a small piece of dry ice on the pipes of my cm212+. Or the backplate of my gtx 470.
