Wow with the prices going around I'm wondering if availability is going to be low for a couple weeks? Prolly just smart retailers though. Damn Amazon wants almost 1200 bucks for theirs.

They must sprinkle "awesome" sauce on theirs.

Maybe, but they aren't the only one asking so much. I didn't pay attention to i7 965 launch. Was it the same?

[Witchdoctor]

I think so but they also released the 940 and 920 soon after so a lot of us poor bastards waited ..... this will force the hand of enthusiast to suck it up or wait a significant amount of time until an affordable 32nm comes out


I could rough it with a 6Ghz quad 32nm ..... LOL

All kinds of bad news today. 980x is on backorder at Tiger Indirect and my LN2 supplier backed out on me. Back to the grind. I'll just have to take another LN2 route. Not as cheap though.

[ReverendMaynard]

dang Duke, why would the LN2 guy bail?

[Chuchnit]

Shoot, I'm having no luck today either. Called the only other two ln2 suppliers in the area to get something cheaper than $1.60L, but neither do transfers. :( Looks like I'm stuck getting raped by the same place.

Sorry for the total noob questions here but looking at Ln2 possibly in the future so trying to learn waht I can...

So the question is how far does a liter get you so I can kind of form a bugdet of what type of cost's I will have on top of buying all the supporting hardware such as pots and dawars and all

so if you have a 35 liter Dewar how many hours of benching does that get you .... ?

It would be around 56 bucks to fill

Yup as Jor said, if you are benching just after refilling with all the settings known(thats where cascade/ss comes in handy) then you can easily get 5-6 hours of benching out of 35l(depends on the pot and your handling skills as well a bit), else with a new board and CPU(where you dont know the CBB and CB temps), it would be mostly 1 session of knowing the board and CPU and then only during the second session some serious bot damage......
