The pot. If one platform doesn't behave or just not getting you anywhere then heat the pot up with the torch enough to get it free from the socket. Turn your oven to the lowest temp and bake your pot for about 15 minutes or so. You can bake the foam insulation and all. Then when it is all thawed out mount it to another platform and try it. I would just hate to see you put all your eggs in one basket and it not work for you. That is why I said prep all your mobos in case one doesn't work for ya.

Make sure you do plenty of insulating with your eraser. LN2 gets way colder therefore freezing more parts of your mobo. I would insulate from your 1st RAM socket to your mosfets and from the top of the mobo to the north bridge at least. Stuff a blue paper towel in your 1st RAM socket as well if it isn't being used. Don't forget to insulate the back of your mobo as well with eraser. Do a good area of it.

I'm at work but when I get home I will post up a pick of my insulation job I use for LN2 as well as my bench table setup with the full sheet of foam insulation on the back of the mobo.
