I better stop, Im already looking around for bits and pieces to start a new build

What kind of phase unit do you need for an overclocked quad-core? I'm guessing a standard vapo/machII wouldn't cope with the heat?

It would certainly be very stretched. You'd be looking at least a modded and regassed Mach2/Vapo, or more ideally a full custom unit designed and charged to handle the high load.

Something like this?

ACC MP12LA compressor
Chilly1 evaporator Head
402a Gas
'Golden Froster Value'
No load cools to about -66c

Looks like one of Johann's units?

Ah gray ***

AWSOME units and even better service! Pitty he's not making units anymore tho afaik

If you want a first class Phase unit, then Pazza316 over at XS is the man. He did a superb job converting my Mach2 GT. Based in Huddersfield, so not the end of the world either.

That look ok for quad then?

Depends on what heatload its tuned to. Most builders seem to tune to 180-200w, that'll be fine

IMO Gray or Johann are the builders to look for in the uk

Both of their work is superb and aftercare seems top notch from both

With a bigger condenser fitted, yes. To give an idea of temps, at the moment i'm Priming at 315x10 1:1 @1.63vcore. Dual load at the cpu is -13 true temp and the evap is -59. Idle temps are -63 at the evap and -32 at the cpu. If quad core is more efficient and using lower vcore then i think it will handle it, but only time will tell. Obviously a bigger condenser will only make things even better.

any specific reason you decided not to jump on my box mate?

it's identical tho those you have posted, mod done by johann but looks better (vapo panels) and cheaper

in fact that MP12 compressor sux....very loud

Starfall · 10 Jan 2007 at 10:37

Gray's already quit building for others, Johann's almost certainly out too in a couple of months, it's a great loss to the UK scene...

I paid £310 delivered and have a 12 month warranty and phone support from gray himself.

With be being a noob at phase (never done it) the price and the warranty swayed it for me.

He also said he will guarantee it will be ok for my quad or he'll retune it for free.

People are correct about the support he offers.He seems a top bloke

marscay · 10 Jan 2007 at 10:57

wow that's a nice price, i'd prolly have done the same, except i don't like that compressor.

hope it works out for ya.

with him and gray mole out the UK scene is basically dead.

I'm goona start my installation thread for all you phase gurus to guide me through.

You are most welcome to lend your expertise !

3 important steps

insulate, insulate, insulate

the mounting is easy.
