Hey guys I joined the team a few months back, been very busy with engineering classes, bench when I can in the mean time. Now I am looking to move to DICE or phase when I get some extra cash from work over winter break. Now I have a classified now with an i7 920 but I dont want to try my 1st DICE attempt on such nice parts, so i was thinking of getting a cheap but very good overclocking setup. Something like x48, old stuff, with an older CPU. Can anyone suggest some older parts I can get on the cheap but OC well, and same for motherboards, any good OCing boards? I was thinking core 2 duo with a x48 board? I dont want to spend more than $200 on these parts in case they get ruined when running DICE. Also anyone suggest a GOOD thermometer for DICE runs, possibly LN2 in the future, something under $100.
Thanks
