Like i said before it will take about 2 litrs to get your cpu to around -130. You will fill your pot about 4 times to get there. Depending on how much voltage you're putting into the cpu. Are you tweaking in windows or just in the bios? Better get used to the frustration bro...it coms with the territory. even seasoned benchers get frustrated. lol
cold bug example: If all of a sudden as you're pouring your mouse freezes up and dosnt respond at say for example at -130 but you still have a windows screen you've cold bugged. Then its time to turn off the pc manually. (I like to use the motherboard power switch when i can and not the psu power switch because i dont have to go back into the bios that way) break out the torch and start warming it up. Try restarting it at -100. If it dosn't boot get it to around -90. keep Trying to restart it as you get warmer. It will finaly start back up eventually. Lets say it starts up at -80. This is your cold bug boot temp. Now you know that you can't get colder than -130 and chip has to be at-80 for a restart. Keep a record of the cold bug and cold bug boot temps that way you will know exactly where your temps have to be. Almost eveery chip is different.

OK.

I'm only doing 6 of 7 tests unless I can download pcmark05 somewhere. Doing some figuring beforehand will make it easier to figure out FSB/multis for each chip. I'm doing a little tweaking in Windows, just stopping things that use memory. I'm overclocking in BIOS and then via software above a certain point. Do you suggest increasing the voltage a little at a time or just give it 1.8+ and go for it? And I thought keeping it outside would be a good idea for preservation sake, but if it won't make shit for difference then I'll carry it right upstairs.
Has anyone ever tried using a heatgun instead of a torch?
