K|NGP|N’s GUIDE:
LIQUID NITROGEN
prep for 4-WAY SLI
Competing in 3D benchmarks with
a single GPU using liquid nitrogen
has always been one of my favorite
challenges from early on in my
overclocking career. When the very
first SLI and cross fire multi GPU
setups arrived on the overclocking
scene, I was instantly hooked. It was
not long before two GPUs became
three, and three became four. Cards
with dual GPUs and 4 separate PCBs
on one motherboard. High end multi
GPU overclocking became the ultimate
challenge for an extreme overclocker.
It takes a tremendous amount of
focus and serious system/container
management skills to successfully run
a five to seven container liquid nitrogen

Aside from the endless hours of
pretesting hardware components, a
major key to getting the best results
possible and not destroying any gear,
once again is preparation. In this issue
of TheOverclocker, I will show you how
to prep and get your four-way system
ready for battle.
The usual list of items needed are
petroleum jelly(Vaseline is good), foam
insulation tape, paper towels(“shop
towels” are best as they are really
absorbent and wick up water nicely), a
small brush for applying grease, a hair
dryer or heat gun, some scissors to cut
out all your socket gaskets, foam tape
and some rubber bands. [PICTURE 2]
