I made a reactor that is ice cooled by using EE2 and redpower, it's got the maximun number of chambers and 7 slots filled with ice, all the others are uranium. Every time i use HV cable on it, it evaporates, so how am i supposed to get the power out of it?
CASUC reactor melting HV cable

Put an HV transformer right next to the reactor, making sure the 3 dotted face is pointed towards the reactor. Then you can use Glass Fibre cable to transmit the energy with very little loss.
-
If it produces over 2048EU/t you might want to add another HV-transformer, otherwise anything over 2048EU/t is wasted.

Related question, the wiki tells me "It can handle a maximum of one conversion per tick" does this mean I need 4 512 cables coming out of the HV to avoid power loss?

the HV cable melts because it can only take 2048EU packages, but the ones your reactor produces are higher. for some reason that effect doesn't apply to the HV-transformer, so use that one instead.
Hagop: the number of packages doesn't matter for a cable, only the size of those packages is relevant. it's different for the transformer though. they can only transmit as much EU/t as their higher side is, so only 2048EU can pass a HV-transformer per t. if you need a higher output use mutliple transformer in a parallel setup. -

That's the reason, why my Lightningrod (8192 EU/t) needs 4 additional HV-Transformers around it, instead of one.
