yeah the asus OC panel is one of the best things ever, i wonder the what OC panel II will do, asus hasnt released any info on it.
 
Being neat and organized has never been my strong point :P
 
 
bring on the kingpins, 980ti really needs to show its power off!

Now, I Know I stated to everyone after I tried DICE for the first time last year on my ASUS X79 Rampage IV using an Intel 4930K......And managed to destroy not Only the Motherboard, But the CPU as well, That I would NEVER attempt that again.
 
Unfortunately I must be losing my mind for whatever reason and have decided to give it a go one more time just because it irritated me so much when everything failed the last try.
 
I have coated the MB the entire Front and Back with PJ using a heat gun to make sure it flowed underneath all the components (Including the Ram slots, PCIe slots, etc...), Remounted and insulated the Kingpin F1 Pot and someday when I get a chance to purchase some DICE, I'll give it a try once again.
 
P.S.
I'm in no hurry, And even though it's ready for testing, it still may take me awhile.
 


 

lookin good :D
 
i cover my entire mobo in grease when going sub zero even parts that shouldnt be getting cold/wet just in case because things like to go wrong for me lol.

I have most of my board covered now, and will be covering the rest of it before attempting subzero again.  It is worth the extra few minutes to liquefy some petroleum jelly to make sure nothing can short.

Thanks Szeged,
You can Never use enough PJ as far as I'm concerned.
 
The problem I had before (at least in my mind) was caused by me using kneadable eraser for the first time and for whatever reason not following that up with PJ to ensure a good moisture protection seal in and under the Memory/ PCIe slots which caused a short on the MB.

I totally Agree with you Scarlet.
 
BTW, Did you ever get the Graphics card working good with sub-zero temps?

No, I couldn't get the display working for some reason, although it was working fine after it warmed up.  It just wouldn't display at all, and the other card worked perfect.  I will try again soon, as I am just waiting for an RMA at this point.  There was nothing physically wrong with it, so I am not sure where the failure was honestly.

was it a kepler or maxwell card? if so you have to use a dvi to vga adapter and a vga cable because the cards bug out around -40c and stop giving a display if using a dvi cable.

It was Kepler, and using the adapter to VGA.  After it warmed up and thawed out, it worked perfect... about a week later, it didn't work at all.

OK Guys, I ran DICE for four Hours on the CPU at 4.8GHz, 4.9GHz, and 5.0GHz, But I still couldn't top my best Overall Score in Fire Strike no matter what CPU OC I used, Even though I was at a much Colder sub-zero temp.
I did manage to improve my scores in the Physics Tests by OC'ing to 5.0GHz, But the Graphics Tests FPS scores fell off at that CPU OC and went lower resulting in a reduced overall score.
 
Strange that the Graphic cards operating at the same settings I had when using the Vapo at 4.875GHz didn't have as high a FPS score with the CPU at 5.0GHz for reasons I evidently have not found as of yet. 
 
At Least Everything worked well with No Problems this time, But to me, I think I'll stick with the SS Phase Change that is MUCH easier to operate and No, I don't plan to use LN2 anytime in the Future.
 
Anyway, Finally had some Fun with DICE and Here's a few pics and Fire Strike Scores.
