I am and will later this week. Only thing is I'll have to lay a thin film of dielectric around the edge of the CPU itself to keep condensation out of the socket, aside from that no further insulating/sealing should be needed. The clearcoat has hardened nicely so it should do the job of insulating and keeping the LET underneath in place. I'll have to grab a few all-thread rods, trim those and make some holes for the pot's mounting plate next, that's not hard to do except for getting the hole spacing right and centered to the pot itself.

Wait, we're supposed to put stuff around the socket? *gets shifty eyes*
... And not just insulation everywhere..?
Hmm... Whoops.

I'm not stuffing the socket full of dielectric and can't seal the socket itself with the chip in it because if I did, then I couldn't swap CPUs! Just a thin strip of it around the edge of the CPU once it's in the socket, all the rest has been sealed. I also have a tool I can use for removing a CPU without any wiggling of it that could cause a pin to get shoved to one side as I had earlier. Straight up and out is the thing and will even help prevent a case of butterfingers when setting one in. It's at the right-bottom part of the tool kit, namely a small suction cup.

Wulfe I dont paint up to the socket I dont even take the hold down off when I paint as long as you use a foam pad or place plenty of paper towel around the socket when the pot is on you will be fine. Everyone has different ideas just use your common sense. Rodney are you going to take the lid off the cpu and put a kryogenic compound under there?

Sandwich a gasket of armaflex in there so the cold stays within the pot itself. Edit: oh yeah, first layer is shop towels, then the initial layer of flat insulation, then pot goes on with tube insulation, two are smushed together, and whole thing is wrapped with paper towel.

You did give me an idea of something I'll have to look into.

I've done the same with chilled and DICE. I've never used anything in the socket and never had a CPU die... but granted I've never been below -70C

I think I've gone slightly lower than -70C... I've had probe register -74C once or twice, at least when idling. But yeah, nothing lower. Guessing it's something us dry ice cooled guys don't have to worry as much about?

I never have put anything in the socket and I dont put anything in the memory slots I did put vaso in the mem slots at the start of my nitrogen career and then found it seemed to hinder the mem timings. The only thing I ever put in the mem slots these days is CRC226 to clean them I like them clean and dry I wrap around the mem and slots with paper towels. If I ever freeze memory I will have to get Bullant's advice on the best way for insulation.

-20's, -40's are the temp region which is the worst for the socket area I think. Temp of the cpu moves over zero at load and cool below in idle. Perfect for condensation. If You benching lower temps, You have issues usually areas a bit farther from the socket. (ram slots, vrm, or even first pci-e slots) At least that was my experience.

Anyway, I'm a very "underisolator" person. Made my Z170Ocf dice session insulated only with paper and a shape cutted foam on the top. Hadn't any issue however it was a 7-8 hour long session. I used to do things with paper and duct tape with my ss which can do -30 - 35 so maybe the worst area to produce high ammount of moisture. The thing which works good for me always is use paper to pick up the moist and cut that area from reaching the room air so moisture cant resupplyed endless. Ofc can't seal perfectly but I try to make as hard the air changes as just can.

I haven't actually tried 6 cores together but I do know I can run either the 5th or 6th core for 5 core without much difference so I would say it can.

It's looks a little better than mine. I could bench at 4.5 all 6 cores at 1.6v on the chiller, but could only max CPU frequency at a little over 4.8. You should be well over that on LN2. GL

Now that I finally have all the equipment I suddenly lack the time to commit for X-cooling... Stupid exams coming up. So I used the short spans of free time to rebuild my benchtable and move it from the kitchen table to my desk. I crammed everything in a space just under 1m². Finally I can use the only table I have besides my desk again. It was really weird to have it sit right next to my stove all the time. While I was at it I changed a bunch of stuff. I got a mainboard testing kit with plug in LEDs and speaker which is a big time saver for troubleshooting. I added a fan controller, which is really helpful. Now I don´t have to rely on the power rating for mainboard headers and I have direct control over them. On top of that the temp-sensors of this unit are perfect for monitoring things like chipset temperatures. For example the P5Q-E does not have any sensor for that and now I taped a sensor the back of the chipset which allows me to atleast make a good guess if I´m pushing too much voltage or not and if the cooler has good contact. Next addition is a powerful SATA-powered lightstrip which might be useful to check for condensation or ice build-up on the bottom of the board. Everything is resting on floor-insulation material which will be upgraded with some armaflex foam later, my hope is that this will protect the glass panel its sitting on from LN2 spills so it doesn´t shatter on me. I might just replace the panel with wood anyway. What you don´t see yet is what I´m still working on. Beneath that sits a Thermaltake Core X9 case, on which the Mo-Ra radiator is standing on. This case is whats left of a build which I sold and still has 3x 420mm radiators. I will add a strong pump to this case and either add it to the current loop or keep it as a separate one for mGPU watercooling. This is one dense corner of my room but everything is very accessible and easy to work on. Quick connects on the water-setup make it easy to take apart and move out of the way when using a pot. Dont know if this is the right thread to post your setup but I just finished most of the work and wanted to share Biggest improvement for me, I can finally bench and sit in front of my main PC at the same time! No more moving around, I can get internet to my bench anytime I want now. So much more convenient. Oh and the kitchen table is free for its original purpose again...
