Mmmmm... sounds interesting. How do you get there? Still fly into Min/StP?? It's like $700 to fly into Fargo... Min/StP is only $230.Quote:

Hasn't got real cold here where I'm at but hey we were around 0°F for lows in sept. so it should be a cold winter.
lol now thats something, traveling to bench in the cold.
Actually I love Montana... but just thought ND might be a bit more accessible and a bit colder.Quote:

I think Yellowstone has a better chance of below -30 in January, rent a P/U and small gen to throw in back and you can bench 12-5AM when it's the coldest. Take an H2O pump, rad & fan, find a small blue hole and you have heat all night :D
Its still lowest of 30 around here in maryland, no sub zero runs for me anytime soon.
Would like to see the 165 @ subzero though.
3.2+ on the 90C would own..
Charlie, fly to MSP and either rent a car or take the train. It is about 4 hours from MSP and about 1 hour from Canada. The grocery stores wont have dry ice, but there are a bunch of bait stores that will carry it becuase of ice fisherman. You are guarnteed at least -10 degrees in January though.
Now as a practical matter... how does this California boy stay warm benching in -25C temps at 3 in the morning?? Lol... Hopefully I can find a hotel with a balcony so I can put rig outside and bench inside with the cables running thru the door. But that's not really XTREME, maybe I need to set up on a snow drift or smthg.

BTW, I'm thinking Verfiied 4.5gHz screenshot with a E6700... what do you guys think?
Do what I do wear shorts, best part about it is you wont be mistaken for a tourist but you might be mistaken for a nut case.Quote:

Failing that theres always heated snowmobile suits. ;)
Cat5 kvm extender is the way to go.. no need to accompany your gear out there.. the only thing humans do faster in the subzero cold is shiver, get sick, or die.. or all 3 :eek:

haha i love that big round fan.
It is snowing heavily in Latvia right now. The temp dropped to -5C :D
Think I will do some aircooled benches w/X6800ES today :D
sub-zero ambient temps haha :D It's like 30C here right now.
:woot: I`m currently in the lead :D
11.422s 1M ... used liquid cooling

Could have done better ;) but (as always :D) some of hardware died :slapass:
Result is nice, but the title says aircooling lol
Why are you hidding the checksom ? :stick:Quote:

Roomtemp was 14C. Unfortunately I have a eatpipe cooler and I didnt bother to open the case, because I was in a kinda hurry.
Will do some chilled water runs in the garden soon. :)
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=134741
do that! WR@3311.93MHz ;)
According to CPU-Z search the WR is 37xx Mhz. Dunno if that is for real or not.
Cant wait to see what it will do on chilled water. Hopefully the Eheim likes cold water :P
If I have the time, I will do a vcore mod for my board to do a suicide run hehe.
are you talking about this ?
IMHO - fake / bugged (469MHz HTT)
I dunno if its a fake. I am running 400FSB on air and Fr@me did 3311Mhz on air aswell, so with phase 3755Mhz doesnt seem that far off.
But what I am wondering is the high ram speed. Must be very good TCCD.
Dunno what the FSb record for S754 boards is, but my board can do 400Mhz without a Vchipset mod, so that 470Mhz could be possible with mods.
But usually people with that great OCs, post them here and I didnt find anything about that..
ask VictorWang - he may find something on chinese forums ;)
lmao....Quote:

how does the cold bug materialize? Failure to boot or hard restart when reaches certain temp?
Its the same thing here on the other side of the Country in Northern Jersey, its in the mid 60s here and no sign of change in the near future. I want some cold weather so I can push this Opty 170 beyond 3G and we just have not had any real cold weather yet. Im thinking of making a chiller to add to the water loop.Quote:

Canada man! Im in Saskatoon Saskatchewan, took a couple more, appears my balcony is a little cooler hehe. My rig is down atm, so no ocing. By the time I get it back up it'll only be cooler out there:D :cool:

but like i said, when it gets cold and a certain someone ships my chiller, i'll be having fun :D
Here in Sweden it will soon be -30C, then you can talk about real benching:p:

I really hate you all, here in spain the lowest temp we got in valencia is ~5ºC and that happens almost never!!
Air -35ºC is almost the same of my SS!! :slap:
Anyone have one of those OLD Swiftech AIRCOOLED TEC's laying around?? Put one of those giant DELTA 200cfm fans on one in -30C weather and see how it works :D
too bad i live in texas and it never drops below 30 degrees farenheit...lol!.
yeah, same here in SoCal. Anyone have friends who are managers at a restaurant?? How about OC in the walk-in freezer????Quote:

You're certainly not going to get much "super SUBZERO" weather down there :DQuote:

I miss my basement apartment. :(
Had the window open, ducted to my case.
Snow blowing in was much fun.
I will come here with result in Januari/februari when we usually have some days with sub -40c here :D
i really hate this time of year when it comes to overclocking and love it for every other reason :D
