Hey NY i have a new b batch 980x coming on thursday (hopefully). I would be more than happy to livestream the whole process for you from start to finish. I will be checking the chip for cb cbb and efficiency and can show you all of the processes and parts you will need. lmk if you can be on thursday night and we will get you goin like a pro in no time.

Cool that sounds great. Thanks a lot. If I must work Friday, then I'll be able to watch Thursday night from the hotel. If not then I'll be riding in the car, but I could watch on my Droid I bet. Lets set it up......that sounds awesome. :thumbsup:

Good luck! You're gonna have a blast. Now you'll never be able to go back.....

Have to chime in with the other guys: Thermometer is an absolute MUST. You need to know where you're cold bugging.

And try to get a mini 3 inch iron anvil to have near you when you bench. I usually get an extra 100 mhz out of my clocks when I do. Sounds crazy, but it makes more sense than glazing your pot. ;)

I guess I'll wait and buy an Extech EA10 this weekend, unless anyone knows of a cheaper comparable substitute?

EDIT: it sounds like the actual probes are not even rated for anywhere near -200.

I feel you pain. Working on getting a good thermometer myself.

Check ebay bro, sometimes they got good quality units for cheap. You kinda don't wanna skimp on the temp reader as "False" temps will drive you completely MAD! :Dizzy:

This is the best place on this lousy planet to purchase thermos imo....GL

PS. I have two EA 10's to bounce readings back and forth as I always have low cb's on my chips (Imperial curse). I am thinkin bout upgrading to a fluke...anyone interested in one lmk pm style.
