Looks like Gomeler spectacularly destroyed an 790FXT-UD5P during the meetup

That would be a KILLER avatar

I bet he is trying to find who was the funny guy that swapped kneaded rubber with epoxy paste

[loonym]

[/URL]If we can source more LN2 it'd be interesting to see how each individual core performs

You may want to source a board as well?

Any dead hardware photos - for the memorial

Just for you

I have to give Vapor some credit, he was the one holding the motherboard still

Looks like I'm going to have to transfer Martijn's title to Gomeler... Mr. Boardkiller........

Just one in a few dozen, this one was just spectacular

Welcome to use it, I am rather attached to my Diablo sprite

I bet he is trying to find who was the funny guy that swapped kneaded rubber with epoxy paste

I bet it was Gautam In all seriousness, this most likely happened due to the eraser being pressed and frozen around the socket and then a ring of ice holding the insulation to the eraser and then me pulling up in a not too gentle manner all while at -192C.

Have plenty of those, just need more LN2

Am I the only 1 that finds it ironic that the board says "ULTRA DURABLE" right underneath the destroyed socket?

[Star_Hunter]

This will be fixed in Ultra Durable 4

[Buckeye]

This will be fixed in Ultra Durable 4

LOL Ultra Durrable 4 Gomeler Edition

[Gamer]

except minus 192° in small letters beneath it :p

[Ozzfest05]

I had this almost happen to me once the condensation form and of course the eraser did its job right up until it froze the pot to the socket I was patient though waited and eventually took a hair dryer to it.

[MTP04]

Nice Gomeler! LOL

I don't like waiting for the socket area unfreeze so I just fill the container with warm/hot water until the container separates by it self. No added force needed and its pretty quick.

I once put off an ihs off a 4000+ in this method

so, AMD is going backwards in this way

lesson - don't mess glue with thermal paste

[Harshal]

It was 4am and I was 95% packed. I just wanted to pull the pot off, stuff it in it's container, put the board in the box, and head home No big loss, we got an awesome story out of it.

Famous last words "I've done this tons of times, just hold it."

Seeing this I feel even luckier that GBT board lived last year

Nice carnage!

where is miah now
oh i know what's wrong, we're just a couple of dumbasses


we warmed up our pot back in January with PH2 and the chip still managed to be pulled out of socket due to sticky mount (this was due to thermal paste creating a perfect bond) >> i was too scared to twist as i tried so decided to just yank it out lol

That's why I pull the pot off still cold, typically the Ceramique cleanly separates. Then again this is also typically around -50C or so after I warm it up a bit I hate Phenom II's lack of a socket retention mechanism, yanking chips and bending pins is so frustrating

[dinos22]

they REALLY REALLY need to go to LGA design
so much better its not funny

I was told we won't see LGA for a while by guys at AMD. They say it is cheaper using pins. I guess this way they can immediately discount all RMAs that have destroyed pins? PGAs are so 2007

The "event" was spectacular; it was a pleasure meeting each and every one that showed up. I'm also especially glad that I finally got to see the dream team bench in person. Their prowess is simply on a completely different level, even from those of us that have been doing this for years. Can't wait till next time!

LOL - vapor and gautam were knocking over the same pop cans like it was their job - and the mobo being knocked on the floor and gautam quickly picking it up and acting like nothing happened and then having a knocked pop goon it :P:

it really was a blast meeting all of you and I can't think of a better way to spend the weekend than learning from the best - and learning the classified from Shamino was a real treat

Jody- Vince really got a kick out of your "no look pour" pic that you had me do :P:
