I dunno seems kinda backwards thinking to spend more money to win a cash prize contest, even if I did win by some miracle I'd still be in the hole :ROTF:

I'll play anyway, always fun to see if I can figure out how to push my hardware more :D

I'll let you in on a little secret that you may have forgotten since your last bambino:
They don't sleep more than 2 hours at a time and if the Momma bear is up at night feeding the little cherub that means that the Poppa Bear is up feeding him during the daylight hours so the Momma Bear doesn't turn into a REAL Bear from lack of sleep!
Ahh, now you remember!:ROTF:

It all depends on your income also. When I was benching on LN2, 30% of my income was going into purchasing LN2 :shakes: I was eating a lot of spaghetti those weeks :p:

GeorgeStorm
02-25-2009, 02:22 PM
Wow, thats a lot on LN2.......
Im hoping to go subzero for the first time sometime this year, but with DICE, I hope they have another one of these over the summer, might be in with a chance :p

Was only 180 liters ever two weeks. I'm a student so I don't make crap for wages :yepp:

180 litres every two weeks sounds like quite a lot to me, although, I have no idea how much you get through in a session etc....

Between four rigs at the LA competition, (two pots each) we burned through almost 1000L in one day! Then we had fun with the leftovers (http://www.tomshardware.com/liquid-nitrogen,video-319.html):D

I'm down, doubt my pot will be here by then though, although homemade pot revision 1.3 I did have brazed, if I can come up with a good internal design on the fly I might attempt LN2 with it. Interested but not a guranteed thing yet.

Would not have the first clue where to buy LN2 let alone use it to cool my chip.
I would look rather sad with my 4500MHz clock ....Guess I'm destined to be a spectator not a player
