sergmann Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 @Leeghoofd we don’t have restrictions for bios, but link for Bios should be posted here in thread like last year? @safedisk has done it already 👍. I think it will be easier for all participants to find same bios versions which are used for submissions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar the old 0021 last year during the same competition. 0021 worked like a charm (stock or DICE). I don't seem to be able to run Gear4 with the available release on Encore (presently 0080).

I just understand LN2 mode enable when you go -120C Need ambient testing 1st. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CENS Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 imho switch the jumper to ln2 does nothing alone (maybe change auto rule behavior after some threshold) and unlock ln2 profile. Simple step for safety, change jumper for ambient back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiwa Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) better no risk even if works Ivan, switch back to LN2 when you go cold, i don't do any testing at ambient always single stage -50 to make sure you don't hit any limit anywhere.
