I play with DICE very regularly for the last 2 years or so and is pretty easy. And have tried LN2 twice but both the time, benching have not been really possible apart from maybe a single run or something. Basically get stuck with cold boot and cold bug issues. I am sure I am doing something wrong but not too sure what exactly, :( . I will list the steps that I do and where I falter :

1) Boot comp with empty pot to check the temps and all.
2) Pour very little LN2, boot computer with only half decent speeds like 5Ghz with low volts like 1.6-7v, all other bios settings mostly to what will be used even at higher clocks.
3) Boot to windows, and then try using windows tools to overclock further, through my DICE runs I already know what the chip and mobo can do, so I try to push them further up or something, now my problem is that most of the time even before crossing my DICE runs, the computer hangs. And then I am always stuck with the cold boot issue. I have to wait a long time before I am able to boot again and most of the time same problem after which I lose interest

Now one of the things is that, both the time the board has been a Foxconn Mars which I heard is sorta famous for its cold boot issue. Guess mine is something like -30c or so which only make things harder but before I try LN2 again I want to make sure I am not doing something which I am not supposed to do or I am missing on something that I should be doing.

So one of the issues is controlling the temp.(which I have heard takes time to master), or am I doing something extremely wrong there???
