Thx peeps, finding the cbb at around -100c.

Crappy temp monitor says -85c
Quality one says -100c

Didn't get much done in the way of solid clocks with the first 10L cannister cept for a 5.4ghz validation. But it was an interesting 7 hours. Took a few loads of LN2 to get down to a respectable -70c to -80c.

Noticed that between -80c and -115c you really need to stay on top of the pouring to keep temps within whatever range you decide on. Ran at -150c for a good bit but couldnt get bench stable (noob refusing to compromise mem timings)

You can skimp on insulation when using DICE but if you're gonna bench for more than a few hours with LN2, you'd better expect an iceberg around the socket, lol.

Don't run far in front of you're cold boot bug because its a long arse wait for temps to rise to a bootable condition. So if you plan on changing dividers, make sure you're close to you're bug cuz she'll need a power down reboot sequence which will cbb.

Also, make sure you slap some vasoline or equivilant into the first two mem slots because eventually the frost creeps that far and you get condensation in the slots. I had water in my first slot that brang a close to the bench session.

Motherboard is in the clothes dryer drying off for later ;)
Anyways, some frosty pics for the "Pic Monster" :picmonster:

Me also have all kinda problems with LN2 twice that I have benched with it, hence I stick to dice now.....you didnt even get a pi run going???

Kal-EL 09-20-2009 05:55 AM

Wanted to be wprime stable first before running any other benchies so no pi's were run. DICE is good because its a constant temp when loaded with DICE in the pot. But theres no way I'd get up into 5.5ghz range on DICE so I'll be figuring this one out soon enough.

And if all else fails, Monday will be a dewar re-fill.

Waahhoo Frosty Baby !!!! :taunt:

ROFL! I forgot to move the x-cool JUMPER!!!! NOOB4LIFE! hahahaha oops:blink:

Kal-EL 09-20-2009 06:37 AM

Well, great news is the board is fine, thx to the oc gods for a clothes dryer ;)

Rogue210 09-20-2009 10:45 AM

nice pics :clapping: i'm just noob but it looks like a good first run ;) talk about pushing it....:good:

Can you use DIce to get to max cold then start adding LN2? Like they do with LN2/LHe? Would that save some L's of nitro? OR would the solid CO2 start causing issues when you put the LN2 on top of it?
