Wolfies aren't AS fragile as most people would think. In fact, with decent cooling theres no reason to think an OCd CPU wouldnt have the same lifespan if not longer than a CPU run stock with its stock HSF.
Nothing wrong with being a fanboy of a product thats genuinely good :toast: What makes me sick is the blind fanboys, particularly nvidia fanboys. Even when all the evidence is there to show theres an issue and its nothing to do with the user these blind fanboys come out in their masses and try slamming people. :shun: Anyway I think I'll be getting a XTC memory cooler in a couple days, thought I would finger my Cellshocks at the end of the 1hr OCCT stress test, and no :banana::banana::banana::banana: those heatspreaders were as hot as the NB! So they must of easily been around 50c :eek: Incredible to think they could be that hot, I'm only using 2.2v. (upped it a tad so I could run PL8 :D ) I'm certain with those heatspreaders off the sticks would run much cooler. If only I could get the farking things off..
Heres a screenshot of my current settings, I think we can agree for just 3.2GHz thats some pretty insane memory bandwidth, almost sickening :p: I know my CPU core temps look kinda hot, its why I want to get that bloody IHS off too.. I tried everything it just won't budge. The next step would be some kind of solvent... but I'm not sure if there is something out there that would just corrode the rubber seal stuff and not the die\sillicon.
