opty is ruined... can't get 3.6ghz any more, temps are whacky, and old unit gets -8c bios now instead of -29c... Sad day :(

[gocchin]

Oh man sorry to hear that... so the temps are just messed up? The cpu still functions and posts and all?

[afireinside]

CPU works, runs 3.5ghz on this 3" and 3ghz on water AFAIK, but the chipped corners ruin my max clocks. If I can't do at least 3.6 its pretty much worthless.

Darn sorry to hear AFI. :( Any close ups of the chipped core? Maybe it's time for you to step up to a P4 670 lol. :D

Sorry to hear that afireinside. How did u get chipped corners?

haha wana bring the ln2 down here? :D

I tried taking some macros of the chips but my cam is a POS. I'll have my canon SD450 very soon (hurry up christmas lol) so I'll get a pic then.

First chip I have no idea. I'm 99% sure I chipped the upper right with the old unit or a waterblock somehow after my 3.6ghz 1m but before my 39890 3d01 run and the second chip is slightly larger on the upper left from when I had the brilliant idea to test mount the 3" with no insulation to support, no thermal grease, and the board on a slight angle. OOPS!

srry i can't follow my friend, could you explain a bit more?
thx ;)

[Son1990]

Sorry to hear about that man. Nice choice in fans and RAM tho. Those are the UTT chip models right?

[afireinside]

Thanks :) 129CFM Deltas and Mushkin redline UTTs that do 267mhz :D

kutteke>What part don't you understand?

It's like the alu pot ruined your 146?
:eh:

[afireinside]

The weight on the bare die (I took heatspreader off CPU) took a nice piece out of the corner of it. I just got my new digi cam (canon SD450 :D ) so I'll try to take a nice 2500whatever by whatever res macro of it.

Sorry to hear about your chip man :(
