  1. I am also stuck in Apprentice league. Made two LN2 submissions inc. pics yesterday.
  2. I'm not accusing him of hiding it at all - it just looks like an honest mistake. I'm new to overclocking so I browse the rankings a lot. This submission comes up as the top non-cold score. I think the filters for type of cooling are very useful but there are so many errors in there that it can be confusing At least he has a pic attached so you can figure out it's a mistake, sometimes I see results which are almost certainly not possible on air but there's no pic so there's no way of telling.
  3. That username is starting to become relevant
  4. I kept the CPU in the socket while I was insulating it, I thought that should keep the vaseline out of the socket? I dried it overnight so it's I'm pretty sure it's the vaseline causing the issues rather than lingering condensation from the DICE session. I thought vaseline is nonconductive but maybe brushing all the way up to the 8-pin connector is problematic?
  5. Nope, just the little square-ish area between VRM, memory slots and the first PCI-E slot.
  6. Hi, I did my first DICE session rescently on a Z97 SOC Force and initially did a quick CPU frequency test uninsulated just to check everything worked. It worked but predictably stopped booting after ~30 mins. I dried the board and it booted on air. Then I proceeded to insulate it with vaseline - this is where it stopped posting, in fact it cuts out so early that I don't even get a post code. I tried with two good CPUs and multiple RAM sticks and it still doesn't work - what's the best way to remove the vaseline completely? Buildzoid says dishwasher is the way to go but I just want to be 100% before messing any more with this board that isn't easy to get in this part of the world.
  7. Does anyone have copies of the files mentioned in the OP? Predictably, the links don't work anymore now. Thanks in advance!
