Linuxfan commented on own score:

Didn't know this CPU had this in it or it would even do it at only 1.62v -30oC. :eek: Maybe there is more in it, board got too wet at the end because I thought it was just going to be a short session to see if the CPU and board work together ok. :) Hit ram max at 20 tRAS with volts I was using...

Nice work LF!

Thanks

Tried LN2 already and -30s is the sweetspot for this chip Below -40oC it CBs. My SS unit runs between -38 and -35 so its perfect.

Wasn't sure that the CPU was still running strong and didn't degrade and was also worried about the board... I think all is ok

binning cpu ....i bet lots of 5.75 chips are missed because of wrong binning technique by some lol

In binning...once it passed +50Mhz then another wall @ +98Mhz to pass.....and for some there's also +5Mhz wall from highest multi, it never ends until windows freez:)

@Linux...Nice 2500K

Honda: I can't remember but I think I actually turned the LN2 mode switch off. Will check next time.

Thanks Dumo.
