Ahhhh.. Gotcha. 350x10 will give you 525 mem. When Corsair will send me back my sticks, I'll try doing 350x9 and doing the 2:3. I know if I use my 385x9 that I have as my daily clock (which cannot really go any higher in overall cpu mhz-3500mhz), I cannot really go above the 1:1.Quote:

Removing the current heatsinks and putting AS5 is a good idea. If you want to replace the stock heatsinks with recommendations in lawry's first post, that's even better. My only warning is be gentle/careful with the hooks that hold the NB in place, cause they're only soldered in, and very poorly at that.Quote:

If you can, try to get a week 32+ B, since they seem to require the least amount of voltage and aren't walled as low as the chips the earlier one are.
Best of luck.
Good luck getting Intel to warranty your CPU. I tried talking to them into exchanging my CPU when i was having issues and they basically were doing the blame-game and pointing to every other piece of hardware in my box. They would not even think about warranty'ing the CPU until you basically replaced every other piece of hardware in your box.Quote:

I have a problem thats only just arisen, it started with booting problems for about a week where it would cold boot, now its become increasinly difficult to bring it to life, right now i'm on with one stick of ram and only just about managed to post. I think something is dieing, either the memory or motherboard, anyone have any ideas which one is more likely?
Not sure why you're having problems with the memory ratio but if you can't reach 2:3 with your clock try 4:5. From What I've heard, that's the preferred ratio if you're not at 1:1. IF your clock is 385 then 4:5 might be 850ish? I wouldn't sacrifice CPU speed for memory, at least not with these chips. Try 435x8 (if you can reach that) and go with 1:1 or 4:5 before you back your chip down.Quote:

Clock for clock it (and a few other ASUS 965/975 boards) really does outperform most boards.
I'd start looking at whatever you had the most volts into.Quote:

I'll get a gift card for the original purchase price and put that towards whatever's out then.Quote:

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to do...Quote:

If you simply take off the heatsink, the cpu won't start.
Overvolting is possible, but if your luck runs out, your northbridge will die too...
I can get 3.1 @1.325 stable, 1.3125 (BIOS all) semi-stable (crashes doing the weirdest things).Quote:

To be honest, I have no idea how to go about it. I could have gotten the accidental damage warranty for $300+ and it would be no questions asked. Instead I got the $99 Bronze plan that covers product failure.
If one were so inclined to facilitate product failure NOT due to operator negligence, how would one do that? I don't think microcenter will scrutinize the claim as much as Intel would but it has to look reasonable.
I'd rather not fry the mobo to but if it happens, ooh well. As long as it happens after I fry the CPU.
HS without TIM?Quote:

Pics of your mobo with the pencil mod. I want to do the same and since you've successfully done it...Quote:

Hope you don't mind the crude drawing
the resistor you pencil is the one circled in yellow, the lower of the two resistors in the set. The resistor is located around the area in between the upper right mounting hole for the cpu and the top middle mounting hole for the motherboard.

I would sharpen a pencil and blow it with some compressed air after every couple strokes to make sure that the only graphite on there are the ones staying on.
Thanks, but no pics of your mobo? I've never done a mod before and would like to see a pic if I can. I thought you were talking about a conductive pen.Quote:

Just play it fair man, sell the cpu to someone who wants to use it stock or mildly overclocked...
Speedfan will show the CPU Vcore (and seems to be accurate), however for temps it's best to use coretemp or TAT.Quote:
