LN2 = Liquid Nitrogen = very cold
LHe = Liquid Helium = even colder

Neither is good for 24/7/365, but are good for some benchmark bragging rights. :)
 


As goingCrazy2011 says, LN2 is liquid nitrogen while LHe is liquid helium. The difference is temperatures.

LN2 = ~ -192ºC
LHe = ~ -273ºC, in other word, the absolute zero
 
Me, I'm just a little busy writing a review for MSI about the new 990FXA-GD65.

Now the thread is updated, good overclock lowjack989 and your wallpaper is very sexy.

btw, here is something more interesting

I am guessing he bought as basically a place holder until bulldozer comes out and then it will be transferred to his M4A88TD-V EVO system and potentially unlocked as an upgrade to his Athlon 450?
 
@bardacuda, your guess is correct. Hopefully I will have enough money saved up by the time they release. I haven't attempted to unlock it yet (but this board does support the unlocking feature). I couldn't really justify spending any more on a processor which is doomed for replacement. Given, I could've bought a cheaper board with a better cpu, I really wanted this one :)
 
Saint, here is a list of my components.

I have not been able to successfully get this stable at a, what i consider, mild OC of 4.0. Last night Prime ran for about an hour before the BSOD, that is also the longest it has ran before faulting out.

What are the specs of your RAM? The timings that I see in the pictures aren't good and i'm pretty sure that aren't the correct for your RAM. Remove two sticks and try two overclock with only two (8GB) installed.
 
Going for 4.3GHz@1.525v.....fingers crossed

Damn 4.3 crashed out.....oh well going for 21 X 202.7=4.256 GHz its that extra 50 Hz thats getting me...its just not worth putting another 50mV to it...I did get it to boot and vaildate to 4.5GHz@1.525v...primed for 3 minutes before failure
