In an article from Anandtech written about a year ago, the apparent negative aspects of overclocking with loadline calibration enabled were discussed.

In the past ten months I have built a total of twelve 45nm Asus/Intel based gaming systems. Eleven for friends and co-workers and one for myself. All twelve systems are water cooled, and run anywhere from 20-35% overclock 24/7. ALL systems have loadline calibration enabled and there have been zero cpu failures in any of these systems.

Discussions in another forum aluded to the fact that certain individuals here at XS have experienced failure or fried 45nm chips and feel LLC is to blame.

If you're one of those to be so unfortunate, I would appreciate a short reply with your thoughts and observatons.

TIA,

Nuke
