no no...

Misconstrued...

no frost built up AT ALL. Even the cup I put on top of the pot..I got it frosty when i overfilled the pot.. even then... nothing like you guys living in warm humid environments experience. (Honestly something is wrong with the house heater.. it is dumping water outside whenever its on... I am no HVAC guy though.. so...)

I took a thin styrofoam cup of powdered dice and sat in on the table next to me.. after 5 minutes it had a little frost on it, not enough to make me not be able to grab it with my bare hand though.

My point was that I WAS NOT building up frost.. and assumed it was a problem with the connection between the pot and the CPU

Once I removed the wad of paper towel and let air in though.. the CPU frosted right up....

So it IS getting cold.. im having other issues though. Been IMing Bill and I see that maybe I was a bit prudish with some of the subvolts. I already know from my talks with brian you cant push mem AND IMC... and expect fascinating results... but at the same time I pushed neither and hit a wall.

Just weird cuz on a c3 chip.. I dont need to do anything with the IMC... leave it at 2000 and shoot to 4.6GHz
