Thx mang !!

So do I actually.

The second we decided on a run date , my heatrate increased prolly 10-15 bpm...it's been that way since.However , I've put in probably 30 hours of work since friday and knocked a lotta things offa the list so I'm starting to relax.

-----

Coolant plumbing 3rd wash (Iso) :



-----

Clean :



----------

Here's what else I've done today ;

-Pump housing , top gasket made.
-Pump housing n2 inlet tapped/installed.
-Pump housing front foam installed.
-Inlet line cleaned , insulated.
-LED top plate holed properly beveled.
-Foam gasket for thinktank proper made.
-I'm currently doing the iso wash of the pump.

-------

From an 'operational ' standpoint , I'm 24-48 hours away from being able to put nitrogen in , add iso and dry ice and it'll pump...

There's still work on the venting /trim/wiring/plumbing/etc but I'm happy with the schedule.

--I should know if I have everything in the next week.couple custom cables I hafta have made etc.....

What kind of turnaround time are you going to have if the mobo or other component has to come out mid run? I hope the procedure isn't going to too involved.

[BrainEater]

Well , the top 3 pieces of the lian-li come off , the vents get disconnected and you just pull off the top.....not really much to it.

The issue with 'turnaround' time is more the temperature.If it's at -70 yah can't just bring it to room temp quickly.....stuff will die that way , it will need to warm up slowly...

I'm wondering how the mobo will handle -70 temps on one part of the board that isn't stressed to badly compared to hotter parts. I would guess thermal expansion is going to be an issue at some point.
Speaking of which, do you plan on drop the alky temps before starting a run or bring it down as things heat up?

[BrainEater]

I'll be bringing the temp down slowly, with the rig on but idle....we'll go from there.

Thermal contraction could very well be a major issue.we'll find out.

[Eldonko]

There are 100 things that could go wrong, but that just makes it more fun! :P

[dragoonxx]

only 100 things eldonko? im thinkin kinda more along the lines of "1000 ways to die" inspired chaos...
but anyways...i'll be checking the papers come the week after C-day *cold-day*
