hell i didnt stick tt much into mine! hahaa just 1.9 :D
i have NO idea how the 2.1V came about! haha~

Also a really good cpu:eek:
Cold bug @ ...?

Also cold boot is amazing, I need an X48 board:)
I said a prayer last night for your cpu ...how is it?
Great going so far on the OC'ing.
early retirement for a cpu, you know what they say, it's not the age that counts, its the mileage
s.o.b that sucks...sry to hear that NR.
Thanks vince. haha well gone is the 9650 but thanks for your prayers vince cuz somehow it turned into a retail 9770! hahaha L803B328. retail C1.Quote:

I have not fully recovered from the death of my beloved Asus P5K-Deluxe Board that i loved so much but its has been replaced already. Hey bro as soon as you get your 9770 bless him and say a lot of prayers for him not to die soon :D ,(joke). Keep pushing it my friend, great going.
NightRaven, you should get a Intel Core 2 QX9770 VX Edition [ Voltage Xtreme :p: ] :D
Best of luck with your new QX9770 C1 m8 :)
hey thanks guys! guess what....
this is the one of the worse QX i have ever tested! hahaha.. -70 cold boot.. -95 cold bug... WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!
sigh............................. 5.4ghz is barely stable...
