In all the hustle and bustle of K|ngp|n and Shamino's Vantage bonanza we nearly forgot about the AMD AM3 parts that were hauled to the event. After a midnight dinner we prepared the Gigabyte 790FXT-UD5P for a quick and dirty run with the last 7 liters of LN2 of the night.

Gautam prepared/battled with the OS that had been on a Classified, Rampage II Extreme, and then the Gigabyte 790FXT-UD5P, I prepared the insulation, and Vapor had the magic touch.



First a little 3D06, it has a bum core holding it back.



All 4 cores

And then the real fun began with commentary as close as possible to what occurred.

Me: Eric, can you hold the board, I need to twist off the pot.
Eric: Pulling the pot off at -192 Celsius?
Me: Yeah, I do it all the time.

*crack*



Shamino is examining the destroyed socket, not sure if he can solder and hot-glue it back together.



Look at that insulation job, zero condensation between the board and the eraser. 3oh6 would be proud





I do believe this is an AMD world record, first motherboard socket ripped in half at -192C.



Turns out I did it 1 too many times

Huge props to everyone for everything, was a great weekend Now to see if I can RMA this board
