It was $66.50 including shipping. 
Thanks go to woomack, he linked me to that sale.
Hopefully they go good. I don't know much what I'm doing with RAM, so its going to be a bit of trial and error to tune things up after my initial runs. Got the latest version of memtweakit, and some beta bioses to give things a go with: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=706245

I sealed off the PCB and shot some melted vaseline under the heatspreader edges with a syringe. There isn't complete vaseline coverage under the heatspreader, but there is no air getting in or out at least.

Probably not tonight, unless I go for the LN2 tinfoil boat... First time running the RAMs, so I should probably get familiar with them before getting too crazy. I did apply vaseline everywhere over, under, and around the ram slots just in case.

Ya, dielectric doesn't melt well. Vaseline does, so its kind of easier to remove.

Going Live tonight....
7PM Central
E6300 and D9GTR's on REX w/ LN2 on CPU and NorthBridge. Possibly other chips depending on how the E6300 looks.

I think he posted about it in the IB results thread. I don't think much was accomplished (I think he got up to 4.8ghz) and needs to get some tweaking done to get it to do more.

IIRC his CBB was around -75 and CB was -120.
Check out the ivy result and issue thread for more details.

Ya, I got to 4.8GHz but didn't try to go further really... I was focussing on bclk, CPU vCORE, and CPU PLL to try to alleviate the cold bug. If I can't get past the cold limits, it isn't worth running.
CBB was at -75C, CB was at -108C. I only tried CPU PLL between 1.8-1.85V, and only did bclk between 105-107MHz. I tried wpriming and similar things to get the CPU/board as warm as possible while I pulled down temps, but it had no effect on CB/CBB.
Next attempt, when I find time, I will be trying bclk up to 115MHz or more, and CPU PLL between 1.65 and 1.95. Between these changes, I should be able to find something that changes where the cold bugs hit at.
Everything else is set properly for LN2, and CPU vcore appeared to make no difference with coldbugs - I tried vcore from 1.0V to 1.7V.
If the cold bug doesn't go away, I'll be selling the chip and going back to microcenter for another try. I think its just a matter of finding the right settings, but my first impression of IB was not what I expected from what I've heard. It is certainly not like PHII... Almost impossible to get those chips to cold bug, and you have to really apply some tricks to get around the cold bugs on IB.

Definitely not if you have an SB that can do 5.4+ I would say (as that can be done under water with little to worry about)
