Hey man! Yeah, sadly this cpu has been degrading over time.. It still has alot in it though.. Only times I've noticed degrade is when I go over 1.50v vtt.. In all honesty.. When the LN2 pot is seated right, there
was never any reason for me to go over 1.50v vtt if it was a great chip.. Wish I would have known that before.. Then this cpu may still be what it was.... Also, I tested insulation techniques around the LN2 pot itself..
1 wrap of sheet foam maxes at -167c ... two wraps of sheet foam = -176c ... 3 wraps of sheet foam = -185c.. That's where this cpu should have been the whole time.. You live and learn I guess. Cheers man!! -Beaux
