Sounds like you have a conundrum buddy. Although I can't say I'd hate to have that problem. Two killer chips is awesome!

I hate you. :D

i hate that i dont have a cpu pot to run ln2 next week when i get my dewar :(

and allen for haveing two sweet cpus lol

so anyone benching this weekend ?

going to try the e8500 at 5.3 on 3dm01 :P

I'm broke until next payday already. Will be buying torch and pouring device then. Hopefully I will have some change left over to fill the new dewar. End of November and December should be better times for me and benching. :D

im broke 4 life damn kids lol

do you need a torch when doing ln2 ? if so i guess im going to need one XD

Torch or heatgun are not necessities. They're very nice to have, but a blow dryer is a perfectly acceptable substitute.

I'm benching 3D01 on 1156 this weekend for the MOA qualifier. Won't be any boints involved.

i dont think the wife would like me using her blow dryer lol but that would be better then spending money i dont got :)

Well a torch is not a necessity but when you get a cold bug or cold bug boot and hae to warm up, you'll be happy to have one. A hair dryer will work but it's alot slower and sometimes you really don't want it to take that long. If you have a no cb/cbb cpu you're golden.

I need a torch. Not about to mess around with a blow dryer, lol. Damn thing is $41 for the one with the instant trigger.

found this on sears http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...=1288438210668

idk if you have one in thown but i do

You don't want propane. At least I have never seen anyone use propane.

you will want the flame control knob :)

Just go to your local home Depot store. trigger ignition and adjustable flame is a must. The blue tanks work fine if you want to save some cash. The temp difference is a mateer of probably 20- 30 seconds depending on how big the temp swing is. To me it dosn't really matter. But if the temp swing is like 80 -100 degrees, obviously the Mapp (yellow) will get you there faster. If i had a chip that bad i'd ditch it anyway. LOL Blue is propane and Yellow is Mapp Gas.

I use Propane all the time. It's not that much slower and costs alot less.

^ true I have a bottle of the blue and yellow, cant tell the difference except the MAPP smells worse imo (and my gf's)

Mapp does smell crazy.

So this looks to be good to me. Almost $20 cheaper. It has the TS3000 tip on it. Wonder how much of a difference between it, the ts4000 and the ts8000? I guess the ts4000 and 8000 are strictly for mapp?

Na go with the cheapist one. You can use mapp on that one too. That ones exactly what i have.

Guess who just found a gtx-275 lightning ftmfw ???? :D

Nice find. Did i tell you i hate you yet? Hows that RMA Going?

badly, havent started yet. Im going to take the eraser off first, looks the edge of the pins are being held down by it. maybe it will fix it.

Closed out October on Halloween night with this.

First test 3018B179. CB -165. CBB -125ish (what a treat!). Kept scaling with voltage, but I've killed too much good stuff lately to get all suicidal on the first night. Specially with such nice 3D cards coming out this month.... Have no idea what uncore it will do. Test that later.

Happy Halloween. Sister's watching the kids here for the next few days while I take the wifey somewhere romantic for her b-day.
