Yeah, I would imagine there is a very definite learning curve going to LN2 (I hate being 100% serious btw ).  Why would they suggest not using your KPE?  Just not risk a top end card on a learning curve?  I get not learning on 4xSLI.
.
Million dollar question is, if you do go full LN2, what are you going to do with the Phase, Cascade you were talking about, and a chiller?  Try some Haswell benching?
 
 
 
 
 
Definitely agree with avoiding Pitfall's, I did terrible at that game.

Sorry, I had to, this is what popped into my head as soon as I read Pitfall.

That's what I thought, But I was advised by The People-in-the-know to start out with a GTX 680 Classified w/EVBot port, So I'm looking for that particular (and rare) card.
Funny thing is Half the 680 Classifieds I found for sale so far and PM'd them about this feature, did NOT know whether or not they had the EVBot Port on their card!

I will soon be using the New SS on my existing Rig, More than likely quite a ways into the Future along with my Chiller that was built back in 2008.
The Cascade that was built in 2004 would need some work/recharged and Load tested to be Operational again, But will still be around as I don't plan on getting rid of it as of yet, and NOW I have to start Learning about/find components/find funding and pay for a Future New LN2 Build, Albeit some time later down the road!
 
Come to think of it, I don't even know what the X99 Platforms are going to require when released later on this year, although I DO Know that the INTEL CPU's will use an LGA 2011-3 Socket that is COMPLETELY Different than the existing LGA2011 Socket MB's in use today.
 
So, The Answer to the Million Dollar Question is.............

Jeeeezz, What's Bad about that is I actually Remember that game in 1982 when it was released for the Atari 2600!

Hard to imagine not knowing if your card has the most sought after feature of the entire line or not, but..... ok.
 
Well, whichever way you go, LN2 down the road, more Phase, get your cascade back up and running, I will folow the thread and comment along the way!
 
So do I, where do you think I remembered it from, Atari 2600 FTW!!   If you have a 2600, wonder if you could clock it.

Funny You should Mention Overclocking an Atari 2600...........

After Installing the New SS, The Temps are holding Much Lower under Load, But After a Day of Testing/Benching it's beginning to become obvious to Me that No matter How much Colder with Phase Change Cooling or How much Vcore I throw at this 4930K CPU....... This Chip Just Ain't going to go Any Higher than 5.2GHz!
 
Yeah, I could take a chance and Buy another 4930K or a 4960X, But even that still won't guarantee any higher OC's, Although Sometimes you can get a Gem, But then again Sometimes you can get a Dud.
 
Looks like I'll be taking a break while waiting for the Next Evolution of CPU's, GPU's and MB's to be Released later on this Year along with reading some Reviews/Testing Results before deciding on what Purchases I'll make at that time.
 
It's getting about that time for a Little R&R down at the Beaches here in Florida........

 
 
 
 

I tried some 4930k's  bud, total voltage hogs, I mean they were just dogs. You have a real good one to get to 5.2.  My 3960x can do 5.4 on water, no idea what it could do with what you have running, but I suspect much higher.  I have seen guys get better results with the 4960x series but of course the cost right.

Yes, It does seem to need way too much Vcore for high OC's and I don't really want to get another new 4930K for $500-$600 and end up with one that's worse. 
Also can't seem to see spending around $1K for a 4960X that May or May Not OC better either!
 
If I did manage to find a 3960X at a decent price it could probably OC higher than 5.2GHz, But They aren't much cheaper than a 4960X and I tend to believe Benching Scores would suffer as a consequence.
 
 

I received these in the Mail Today from Overseas and I Just Can't seem to Remember What they are used for?................
 
Hmmmmmm......I wonder if Anyone has seen these Connectors attached to some kind of PCB that may have originally been used to help increase computing speed somehow..............
 
 

WooHoo!...Changed Over to Windows 8.1 Pro X64 and Moved up to the Fire Strike Extreme #5 Position in The Futuremark Hall of Fame!
 

All Right!.....Got the #4 Position in Fire Strike and I am NOT on LN2!
