My New DICE Pot

[darklord]

Ok so i had made a very ghetto copper pot for DICE, although it was ghetto, it did pretty well for Dual Cores but thats about it.I always knew from the beginning that this was going to my trial pot and i will need to move on to something better.Whatever things i observed with this pot, i tried to improve in the new one. So here it is, 'My Pot' ( couldnt think of an innovative name )

-The Pot in the Making-

-Pune is chilling for sure -

-Some Initial Scores-

Thats all for now. More will come soon. Pot's initial impression looks decent.

A special thanks to my friend Aditya for assisting me in getting this pot done

Thanks,

DICE is meant only for benching purposes, it can never be a permenant solution.The solution, Dry Ice + Acetone/Ethyl Alcohol forms a boiling mixture.When dry ice comes into contact with air, it evaporates to form CO2 gas and acetone also evaporates. But when both come together,they keep boiling for some time before both evaporate. The mixture causes the temperature to drop to -70-80C.
