That's how SLI should be...on Air....
Bad CPU though..5.5ghz only on LN2

I Must be missing something (Eyesight Not as Good anymore), But Where does it show 5.5GHz?

Q56_Monster
You'll just have to believe me. Didnt have speedstep disabled. I was going to say look at the future mark link, but that doesn't show right either. Some times that happens.

You can tell by the cpu score.

No Problemo about that Q56, I'm Just use to seeing the Info on CPU-Z, But Yes, I can tell by the Score!

I never check the CPU when using Kneadable eraser.  If I have a good CPU, it stays like that for month and months, until, I upgrade or want to switch CPU's.  And I never use vaseline in the socket. You could, it won't hurt anything, just a little messy when kneadable eraser comes in contact with vaseline, it makes things a gooey mess.  DON'T mix eraser and vaseline!  Try to keep them separate, especially around the socket.  I use Vaseline to coat the entire surface of the board, then melt with heat gun.  I use eraser around the socket (completely covers it), then pack in toilet paper between where the eraser stops and the mosfets, Vr's begin.  The TP is my separation of eraser and vaseline.
 
If you completely cover the socket with eraser (only the flat surface of the cpu should be visible), then no moisture can get in, period.
 
Oh, and eraser is not insulation, so it will frost over too.  Cover it with a gasket made from a blue shop paper towel to absorb any frost/melt that will occur after you are done benching.
 

 
Put blue shop towel gasket on top of eraser:

 
The put a foam insulation gasket on top of the blue shop towel:

 
 
That's the basic idea anyway
 

I remember those photos!
 
Yeah I brush on a thin layer of vaseline on the entire board surface, except the cpu socket area.  For the cpu I cover with eraser then toilet paper around the perimeter of the eraser.  The TP serves as my buffer between the eraser and vaseline on the rest of the board.  It's just cleaner that way for me.
 
Here's a couple of my boards with a "complete" toilet paper insulation job.....You wouldn't think it works, but it does!

 

 
 

LOL!, No Matter Which Technique We Use, It STILL involves a lot of Time/Work!
 
I'll Give it a try with the Kneadable Eraser method on the ASUS RIV BE after I make SURE it Works Good on Air!

Q56_Monster
Why we do this?  We crazY!

More than Likely, I'd Say ALMOST One Step away from the Funny Farm!
 
I've Always Thought of Overclocking/Benching as either "The Thrill of Victory" ,
or "The Agony of Defeat"!  

Gpuz screenie didn't attach above.  780Ti KPE give inaccurate core clock, have to open sensor tab of gpuz to see real clock
 
 

6ghz or above is cherry chip.  I'd settle for a 5.8g chip though, as it would do the job and I could make up for it on the GPU side.

Hey Q... how hot are those Vregs on the Dark?  I am sure the frost from your pot keeps them cool.

Time to get Busy...................
 

I'll Have to See What This Asus Does on Air Once I Stop Looking at it!

Nate,
 
I noticed they were a little warm under water cooling @ 1.5v on the cpu.  No bad though.  A small fan took care of it entirely.  
 
And yeah I don't worry about any board cooling when using LN2.  In fact, I stuff shop towels most everywhere, including completely covering the  vreg heatsink.

Asus is good like that. I remember using my laptop to OC an asus board on the fly back in 2011

Holy crap the old crew is back!!!! and sharing secrets no less :P 
 
how are you guys?
 
 

Yeah, Still Alive and Kickin'!
