How cold do most Intel chips have to get before they get the bug?
Will I need to worry about this with DICE?
My IP35-E double boots, when it does that will it be a problem if these chip get coldbugged?

I haven't heard of a recent Intel chip being coldbugged.

~Gooda~

Lol only the AMD Phenom (not PhenomII) has a coldbug

what is a coldbug?

PR1M3R · 02-10-09

what about older P4's and Pentium D's?

I don't think the Intel will bug with dice. Ln2 you have to keep up with the temp's and not go to low or some will bug, or thats my understanding anyway, I've not used Ln2 yet.

DICE really shouldn't be a problem

Below coldbug cpu doesn't work. C2D's usually have it at -110 to -150c. When benching, you need keep temperature above to run some test. P4/Celeron's doesn't have coldbug - you can pour full pot of ln2 and then you have -190c at the bottom of base

There is also a one thing - coldbug boot - it's connected rather with MB, I don't know exactly. At example - cpu can work at -190C, but to boot/reboot you need temps above -130C. It's more annoying than coldbug, because on heavy cpu pot it takes ages to warm/cool the pot

On dice usually there isn't any problems like that

I hope that you understand
