I never had that happen. I get some popping when pouring way down sometimes but never a BSOD?

I think it's the copper contracting. I noticed that sound too at ~-100c and then again at -120c and -140c+. As for the restart, who knows??

I was wondering how vaseline or di-el grease would perform under the pot, but figured it would prove too messy to try.

I heard the popping too, scared the bejesus out of me the first time, but no bsod's or any other bad things. Had pictures of the rig blowing that first time though

I hate ceramique cause its such a goey mess, but seems to work best on frozen parts. Less is more, but too little is less

That's what i was using back in the 486 days, when the concept of official thermal glop hadn't been thought of yet.

Worked great back then, it'd probably work pretty well now.

Downside: Silicone grease is almost impossible to remove completely.

486? That a new Fermie revision or something? (j/k)

As far as I'm concerned, nothing really comes all the way off the ihs anyway. It may look clean, but take a good picture of it and then marvell at how dirty it looks...

What's the freezing point supposed to be on that stuff anyway? might be on to something there....
