Never mind, Windows 10 user here. Seems they're blocking Windows 8/8.1 (prolly 10 too) because of the cheating (a.k.a. timer) which is too bad
Cheers for the input matey, your not high jacking at all, any and all constructive criticism is welcome. I wanted to take the socket off but I didn't have the hex tool to do it so I just left it on. Though I'll probably get rid of it in the future. Yeah didn't quite know how wide to go tbh so thought better safe than sorry, first time here Be cool if you could throw up pics of your insulation setup! Yeah I have more eraser on the way to fill the rest up, also have some neoprene coming. Still waiting on the acetone delivery, should hopefully all be here by the end of the week. I've put some eraser on the back of the mobo, not much, just inside the socket on the back. Should I put more on there!? Should I cover the first RAM slot with anything? Perhaps the first PCI Express 1X slot too? Or am I worrying to much for DICE? When you going to start benching again Cowie? Not seen any subs from you for a while Cheers for the input fella's!
@yo twid's I think its ok now to use w10 or even 8.1 just make sure system info is open at least I think so yeah cover a 5x5 Inch area on the back of the card just use some paper towels over the area of the ram slot also wrap up the pot with towels that will help cover the first ram slot I would say to use Vaseline but it gets messy and its not a good idea to mix it with eraser. I still bench every week matt its just I have more fun doing then posting see I will have all my 980's going by next week so I bench for guru3d with them
OK think I've gotten the insulation finished, not done much in a couple weeks, become obsessed with watching the walking dead lol I've ordered 10KG of DICE 16mm pellets, will possibly end up with 7KG by the time its delivered, not sure. But it should arrive on Tuesday
ohh yeah baby we are getting closer Its great where on am I can get dice 7 days a week just modded my gamer 980 pl/gpu/ram the pll is not done but just on air today.
Oh yes, won't be long now! Got the G530 in there atm see how it goes, don't want to risk my 3570K straight away, so I'll play with that and the G540 then the 3570K will go in once I'm happy I know what I'm doing lol Nice cowie! The 980 going under ln2 as well then? Along side a frozen 5960X hope to see some pics dude
Good luck and maybe a good move dice for the card if I have time this week still leary about getting my 5960 cold at all but maybe dice to start too. I have to get the chip cold first by itself the card I know but never went cold on this board/chip yet
Playing around right now with it, wouldn't post at first, had to rip it all apart! Had a bent pin in the CPU socket! That was annoying lol Running now though, got a couple 1st places with the G530 at 109bclk, then pushed for 110 and it weren't having it lol, took a while to get going again! My ud3h only reads down to -8 so I got no idea what temps are lol I'm just chucking dice in every so often lol Trying Cinebench R15 right now, best so far is 174, think my men timings are holding me back
Its been fun! Was hoping to get more out of the base clock, but perhaps I don't know enough yet to squeeze a MHz or two more out of it. Think I've done all I can with those CPUs G530 & G540. Next up I'll get my 3570K in there, do some 2d then 3d, not sure when now, Im back at work 2morrow but I still have some DICE left lol If only it was delivered on Monday instead of Tuesday! Think one thing I do want to get is a thermometer for it, need to see the temp lol You got that 5960X cold yet mate?
Nice! Is that for DICE? Have you ever used the Kingpin stuff Cowie? Just wondered how much better it all is as his pots aren't cheap are they! Also picked up a 3770K off ebay last night, so shall be playing with that soon, should probably play with air first then order some more DICE in No doubt do all 2d to begin with, then when I've learnt the CPU can start benching my GFX cards with the CPU cold. Know any good threads or guides, for Extreme Overclocking with cold, methods that might be useful for me to read through?

kingpin pots are some of the best in the world so you pay for them. I am on older imported pots from Australia. I need another gpu pot so I am looking too you should be able to find plenty of info at the two sites jag referred to.
Is there also Cinebench15 gpu only benchmark hwbot ladder? 192fps+ is uber when I googled a bit lol:nerd: cpu 4.6/cache4.2ghz, gpu stock 1097mhz boost.
TJ, You should over clock the GPU, no points for just the GPU test? Still get a total when you combine them?
