Due to piss ant cold bugs and cold boot bugs at random temps, the game has been called temporarily, else the entire bancheto gets hip tossed out the office window. All the waiting for temps to drop to boot left unecessary condensation on the playing field.

The funniest observation I've made thusfar is using Ln2 at DICE temps has provided the best clocks to date on this setup. Yet, soon as I punch into the -100c land, things get squirly, voltages fluctuate all over the place and its generally a shitty go of it.

My plans right now are to pick up some DICE for the CPU, insulate the cards and dump shitloads of LN2 into them and see where that lands me on the ladder.

I did pick up some boints for the team and will continue working on my game. NOOB4LIFE

soups your cold bugs may move around some as your clock changes.

get used to a controlled pour to maintain a somewhat steady temp and you will be golden

classified has weird cbb issues around -40 to -60/70. Going lower than -70 should resolve them though. You have the jumper set for cold clocks, and mode 2 set inbios right? (assuming 762 has those options like 759/760).

It may also be an IMC coldbug on your cpu. try raising VTT voltages and see if that helps.

The E762 is absent of the cooling mode in the bios and only has the x-jumper. On this particular board, especially last night, I've seen cb(s) and cbb(s) at exactly -42c and -73c, but not consistently. It will consistently bug at -110c on this board vs -120c on the E759.

The only variable change between motherboards is I'm running a heftier vtt on the E762 vs E759. The wierd thing is that arnt these cold bugs supposed to be cpu dependant rather than motherboard?

If it wont boot at a certain temp that is the board yes. Classi will have "boot holes" throughout the negative temp ranges. For instance mine will cbb from -20 to -62 lower than that is fine until you get to -91 and lower it cbb's. So I have the window of -62 to -92 I have to boot into, after that in windows Ive taken it as low as -140

Yep, its wierd man, cuz it's bugged in windows at these sporatic temps, followed by a boot bug. It's just been too damned squirly and quite frankly it pissed me off. Haven't quit yet tho, just needed a breather before I went grape ape on the board.

I'm in my happy place now

(bout to strap some 5870's to the board)
