O.K. So I got everything ready. Insulated the mobo last night, bought 5lb's of Dry Ice today. Got everything set up on my back porch.

Specs:

Pentium 4 651
Abit IP35-E
2x1Gb misc ram
Visiontek 4850
BFG 550w PSU
80Gb SATA Seagate HDD

Added some ice, and booted her up. Got post, went to bios, checked temp.
-12c

Added some acetone and watched it drop to -33c and stop. (must be temp sensor limit. I have no thermometer so


Anyways, I was in the BIOS changing some things and all of a sudden the computer shuts down. Now it won't post. Cleared CMOS, and multiple reboots. Not sure what to do besides let the pot heat up a bit and try again.

Any suggestions? Will upload pics later

Check with a different PSU.
This is the PSU I have been using for the last couple weeks for my air runs. Worked great even today when I was using it. I will try that, but I have to go round up another one first. Any other suggestions before I go on a mission?
Did you insulate the area around the CPU? if not, condensation probably fried your board.

EDIT: Oh man, sry I dunno why, but I totally didnt see the part where you said you insulated your board....DUHHHH
A sudden shut down does not sound too good. how much volts were you giving the cpu at the time?
I had booted into the bios at all stock setting.
I used kneaded erasers around the CPU and socket. Then the thin sticky insulation. Then a lyer of the thick black insulation with a hole cut for the base of the pot. And of course the pot has insulation around it.

The backplate has a layer of thick insulation between it and the board.
could a cold bug in the chip cause this?

i know some chips can get to cold and shut off?

Dry ice is not cold enough to cause a wolfdale to cold bug.

time to get the blow dryer. you may have killed the board.
Yep, dumped the pot, and used the blow dryer. Now I am going to try the setup on a stock cooler. Will be back in a minute.

This chip did 5.2 on air yesterday. Hoping for well over 6 Ghz


Now it's time to re-insulate this baby. Gonna go all out I guess. I did not see condensation anywhere that would cause problems, so hopefully it's not the board or chip. I don't know how to control temps yet. This is my first run ever.

must have board bugged the board.
If that is the case, how do I control temps with DICE?
The pot is a Dragon EVO 2.2 with center pole.
OSO RING IT UP AGAIN!
I want to see this thing hit atleast 5.3GHz
