Initial LN2 findings

MaadDaawg · #1 03-03-2010

Just ran my cpu pot on the advise of a friend.. good thing too cause I'm still dialing in the 975. I've had it down to -145C w/o hitting a cold bug and I can soft reboot at -136C. Hard reboot though i've gotta drop down to about -118C.

I'm thinkin those are pretty good numbers ???

Pot was pulled and is currently undergoing atmospheric normalization protocols .. will remount and drain the dewar later today

veddy nice! mine is similar but yours is a bit better at cold booting!

-135c freezes windows (pun) -130 soft boot, -45c cold boot

So it is like Dice if you crash you have to warm up to boot ???

Those are great numbers compared to my 975. Cold boot -60 hard boot -45 and cold bug at -105. My 965 was worse than this w/ cold boot at -60 hard boot -40 and cold bug at -95.

Sounds like an excellent CPU!! Mine is kind of the same. No CB, is very picky about softboot, but will at full ln2, and hard boot at ~-74c. Mine don't count though since it's ES

Isn't that called "insta thaw process"

If by thaw, you mean FIRE, then you are correct. NEVER put a flame to acetone. I will never end the way you want
