You mean under the insulation? Nope...they've been working good for two weeks now under sub-zero...I'm not going to mess with them.  My usual shut down process includes running vantage for about 30 minutes after I shut off the chiller.  This will get the liquid over 32F, then I shut down the computer and put some fans on it overnight.  Seems to be keeping things good.  I may be doing wrong, or I may be doing right, who knows.  You live and you learn, I guess.

Congratz on the team captain!  I didn't mean you had to pick my benches and such, LOL!  I had to take a few days off as work is heating up again and I've been working day and night trying to get finished with the workload.  Another 2 weeks and I'll be putting my benching pedal to the metal again...

Congratz The temptation is still tearing at me, thinking of going with an AMD system just for benching dice, (lots of cpu options and only one mobo) and the koolance pot has just been calling to me, but need to get some bills paid off and some actual time off work, just going in for my second double shift in two weeks but the good thing is that means faster stuff gets paid off

because I am to much of a wuss to put my everyday computer to that kind of torture, that and its sort my home work pc for the few freelance jobs I get for drafting because no one is really hiring in the field especially college grads with no real in industry experience :/

Plus I have my own adgenda for doing some scaling tests for the amds seeing how much overclocking it takes a dual core to achieve the preformance of a tri core and similar things.

Hey, anyone recommend Thermal compound for an EK cpu block on a 920, and paste for koolance blocks for a 5970 and 5870 ?
