    Probe is in a hole drilled near the base of the pot.
    Comes predrilled, see in this picture: http://www.kingpincooling.com/probe-install-cpu/

    I got really close with lower clocks and should have beaten you with more CPU.... Really confused as to what makes this GPU downclock to stock... Maybe something to do with CCC getting confused with the unofficial overclocking and resetting...
    I may try again to beat ya if I figure out how to definitely solve the issue before LN2 again... We'll see.

    never touched a 3870x2 but do they require a special bios like 3870s do maybe?

    Possible that could help. I know I tried before to flash BIOSes but it didn't work out... dual PCB is a PITA to flash.
    The 8.9 driver gives the best performance, but I may have to go back to 10.4 because the last two sessions I got my scores from that and it was reliable.
    Used rivatuner to OC, for some reason it just couldn't keep the first GPU at the set clocks during the bench.

    Used up the last ~6L of LN2 today for AM3 with the 3870X2. Managed to get a first place on the bot.

    Thanks to STEvil!

    But it is so much cooler without insulation!
    I guess insulating the sides would help keep the cold in...

    Not needed, board is waterproofed by me just not as noticeable as dragon skin.

    In fact he probably went a little overboard with eraser around socket which is getting caps a little to cold.

    I've got no strings to hold me down.
    To make me fret, or make me frown.
    I had strings but now I'm free.
    There are no strings on me
