With recent strokes of bad luck and a rough life lately in general, I've been pretty afraid of killing hardware.
I didn't have time the other night to run this 955 again, school was more important. Now I've got the evening and 1/3 dewar of LN2. Hope I don't kill something. I've got a lot of mountains to climb in many places in my life and it's funny that I'm even afraid to climb them in a hobby of mine, I guess I'm worried about the money, I've gotta go to college in 9 months...my money should really not be in this right now, nor should I feel like I have something to prove since I've left a lot of points on the table...

I need to start having fun again...maybe I should swap some CPUs for Semprons/Pentiums and swap GPUs for low-end, grab some TPP along the way.

Here we go, pouring LN2...

Did you get some results in with the 955?
I understand you're worried about the money and this makes pushing hard kind of impossible.
I thought you bought some Socket A stuff, maybe work on that some more. It's cheap and CPUs can be easily replaced. I don't think beching (cheap) VGAs is such a good idea as you'll still need a decent setup to push them and if you go subzero there's always a risk to the motherboard.

Of course we respect you for what you're doing, however sometimes I think you try to achieve too many things at once, focus on one thing and complete it before you think about the other stuff you can bench! By the way, I'll reply to your PM later.

Imo, the right thing to do is not talking bout other peeps in this thread, especially if it personal and they're not here to give their side of the story (or whatever it is been discussed).

It just not cool

I agree with you, all this shouldn't be discussed in public. I'll clean up a bit when I get the rights to do so.

Guys, if you want to discuss these issues, please take it to PM.
