When switching out vid cards (Nvida in this case) do you guys uninstall drivers, and reinstall afterwards? Or do you just pop out the old cards and put in the new?

Kind of a vague question.......

1. Get pot. For DICE you dont need quite as much surface area as you do with LN2, and you can have a more massive pot.
2. Put Acetone\Everclear\etc in pot, about an inch or so high. Any liquid that doesnt freeze at DICE temperatures (-78.5c) will do, but PURE acetone works the best, dont use nail polish remover
3. Fill pot with DICE pellets. The smaller, the better, but dont waste your time chopping them up. Dont fill up the entire pot until you make sure your CPU doesnt cold bug at a high temperature. If your lucky, your i7 wont cold bug with DICE, and you can stuff the whole pot with DICE without having to maintain a target temperature.
4. BENCH!

EDIT:

and obviously, do this in a well ventilated area

Thats it in a nutshell.

+1. 

So, if my CPU doesn't cold bug I just have to keep the pot full?

Yes, but I believe that you would get a slightly lower temp by keeping a lower level of DICE
