I'm about to start considering that my board might be a female, I could swear it's that time of the month

I gotta stop pulling my comp apart because every time I do I end up spending 1/2-1 day fixing problems that I dont know how to fix by moving cables around and playing musical chairs with pci-e power and fan headers till eventually after a while it stops acting like a child that didn't get its toy it wanted and works normally again. Dont know if its my board or not. I would only imagine it is, because the problem it self appears as many fluctuating voltages in hardware monitor, by fluctuating i mean 0.05-0.1v, bouncing around like a pogo stick. Then during the exorcism I perform it does all kinds of evil things like corrupting and wiping my cmos!

Argh I can fix most things but this one has me baffled, it's been on going for 2 - 3 months and as many times as Ive fixed it up I still don't know how exactly I fixed it.

The only thing positive to come out of it is my CPU temps have plummeted from high 50s to high 40s and all I did was replace the thermal paste I replaced recently, and shimmed down my TRUE so it clamps better. Even Linpack temps are amazing now, 65c full load!
I wish I could run my ram at 1120, but 1:1 is all I can manage since they max out at 1088. I should have spent the extra $30 and got the 1100 set.

I've noticed that like CPUs, the X38/X48 NB chips OC differently, and no 2 OC the same. Anyways I am running a 465 FSB (hoping it is a lower chipset strap) with 1.59v NB with the Ai Clock Twister at Strong to see how it goes.

I notice my VTT voltages are not even close to what I set in bios. Both the bios hardware monitor and Everest report it as 1.17v, yet I set it to 1.26v for testing purposes.

And as for the Trans Booster, I cant even boot at 7...


But its great to here you have a nice temp drop with the reseat and shim. What TIM did you switch to?
