Cheers to you all SubZero cooling experts. Could you please advise me on the best cascade cooling unit I could buy? I want to get seriously in to subzero cooling overclocking but im reluctant to start with Ln2 just yet. Ive used a single stage unit before but ive noticed the -50c it could do to be very limiting. Ive heard a good cascade could easily do -100C which would be a good starting point for me. Thank you for all the advise and info in advance.

If I were you I'd talk to @NoL or @Sdumper.

If I recall correctly... Sdumper had one nearly complete that he was looking to sell at last mention.

May I ask what chips you plan on using these on?

I'm running a SS on my 5960x and previously ran it on a 4930k. It is enough to for light loading, and getting better scores than WC, but it's definitely not designed for these much larger TDP chips.

You can check my sig and see my validations on these 2 or check my hwbot to see the scores.

You will definitely need to tell the guys you plan on using it on the bigger chipsets (2011, 2011-3) so they will know what its up against. I don't know how well its going to hold -100c on the head with 300w+

Maybe one of them will stop buy here and give us an opinion.

I never pushed beyond 5.0, but I had no time to push further. I have no doubt that I can validate higher. I've been more focused on just getting the build done.
