Ones not mine, it is a loaner. The 1st dewar I bought a few weeks ago turned out not to be feasible so I got the loaner on loan two weeks ago. Well last week a purty dewar popped up on the radar at a stupid cheap price that I couldn't pass it up so I picked it up. That is how I ended up with three dewars in the garage. Just called the shop and it will be $50 to fill the 30 liter. Going to pick up my torch and pouring device tomorrow. I will have the newest dewar filled and off and running this month. More likely towards the end of the month.

I feel your pain man. That sucks. I've been at the total reverse end of that spectrum. I always have LN2. Around every 2-3 weeks they come and fill me up with another 230L. And i've been in a slump with hardware, sometimes 3-4 weeks and i just watch my gauge on my tank go from 230L full to empty with maybe two or three bench sessions out of it. Or just wasting it on hardware that fails. Its like having gas and no car. How much for the LN2 in your area.

No more renting tanks for me. Turned out to be way too expensive and I kept getting the shaft.


Love my new LN2 set up. I bought Honda's extra little dewars, so I now have 4 dewars with a combined capacity of 85L. They are all easy to handle and pour, and 85L is turning out to be a perfect amount for balancing use vs. evap loss. Extra bonus is that I always have a pretty good idea how much I have left, within a few liters.

Well, bricked my $45 8800 GTS 320 while trying to vmod it. :(

Smashed it up in little pieces and now I feel better

At least I got some points before I killed her. Oh well, we live and we learn......

Guess I'm going back to 2D till I can get another cheap GPU to basterdize.

PITA trying to work backwards on voltage for this 295, but I got it figured out now. Thanks to AF's Voltage Factory and some riva tunerage.

Hope OCP/OVP don't haunt me when it goes cold....

Edit: Nice benching tonight Rom!

Thanks Patchy! Your not gonna believe this, but before bedtime I decided to go back down in the shop and get the Wretch setup for tomorrow's 06 onslaught.
Loaded up xp, stripped and reloaded the driver and while it was loading I get an error. Go to restart, RE3 shuts down...and never boots again...stuck on cpu light bright just like my last Rampage Extreme...

Sad days......

I'm guessing you already tried the other BIOS?

I kill P55 boards like there's no tomorrow, but I don't think I've had an X58 actually die on me yet.
