how much dice should i get ?

On the Am3 setup i would get around 10lbs and it would last me a while, but i was using single and dual core chips.

Drnip just went thru a days session with 15lbs. Looks like a decent start point.

15lbs will prolly do cpu.... both gpu and cpu i would say 30 would be more than enough....

but like soups said.... if you get it cold and keep it cold there will nto be much drippage from teh card

i will have to go to an actual dealer then

i usually just went to savemart for dice but i doubt i can get 30lbs from them

I think most of the DIMM freezing issues occured on i5 setups being run with no coldbug @ -180 and lower. The cold was affecting the way the PCB/components actually work. Dry ice temps should be fine though.

Your insulation looks top notch though :thumbsup:

Usually I get around 10 lbs or so and last me a good days worth, 5-6 hours or so. This last batch I got, 15 lbs, went faster than normal and kinda had a melted look to it instead of that white look. Only lasted me 5-6 hours. Think I had a bad batch or something, if that is possible. I see people get upwards of 20 lbs or so but if I did that, I would be benching 10-12 hours which I can't do anymore. This last session wore me out towards the end. I must have been out of shape or something. LOL

I've had a few crap batches of DICE before. Some are airated while others appear to be ICE'd rather than co2. Depends.

So it'll probably be ok to leave off the rubber eraser around the GPU core for short testing and just put some paper towel around the socket?

Good luck with your DICE benching Assassin48!

thanks

I put my UD5 up for sale on another forum, if it sells by tomorrow i will not being dicing on it. I will just switch over the the 758 A1 3-way.
