Default Week o frustration

The last few days have been full of a lot of completely fruitless labor.

1) Dead GTX 275. POS reference card can't handle any voltage at all. Supplemental caps didn't help. Got suckered into buying one of these before realizing that only the Lightning models could overclock.

2) REX + E8600. Whole bunch of fail with CB -120. Don't even care if it's the CPU or the board, I'm tired of trying to make something good happen with Wolfdale.

3) New i5 670 from RMA. Best CB I've had so far with these at -150. But CBB of -50 is a PITA and a max OC of 6.25 ain't anywhere near worth the time and effort of fighting for decent RAM speeds on this platform. I'm so annoyed with P55 that I'm tempted to just sell the 655K I ordered a few days ago - unopened.

The one beam of sunshine is that these projects used hardly any LN2 at all. Benched all week with about 25L. That + another 10L would get me through a single night benching a 980x + 1 fermi.

Next up is to slap the resurrected 980x A0 on the R3E. If it runs I might make something happen with all the 5870's I have sitting around...
