    Thumbs up FX60 owners with coldbug read this !

    After testing my FX60 using a stock vapochill LS, even modest temps of -23c envoked the cold bug and I couldn't get past 260mhz without lockups. See my resluts HERE

    But after some testing with the 233 and 250 memory dividers (available with RevE chips and DFI Expert & DFI NF4 SLI) I found that the couldbug has nothing to do with memory clocks but instead is a HTT limitation.

    This has been confirmed by Ozan Baseski and his results with a FX60. He too was able to run the memory with the 233 divider keeping his memory speed at a higher level than HTT and encounted no problems with coldbug. His thread can be found HERE

    This will work with any RevE chip that has coldbug issues but only the FX60 has the higher multis to make it practical. On the DFI NF4 SLI you can use the 704-2BTA bios, it has the 233 and 250 memory dividers enabled in bios.

    I'd like to see others confirm this and post there results here
