Anyone know what size the P35-DQ6 nuts are that you are supposed to attach when removing the Crazy Cool back plate?
Either my DQ6 did not come with any nuts or I lost mine... and I need replacements in that case. Either that or I have to cut the black plate, which my dad said he would do at work but that's not until Monday... I'm not powering up the DQ6 with a loose NB but I also don't want to wait any longer on system downtime.

>> I have tried various BIOS files for my DQ6, F4 BIOS and later versions. All had a strange reboot error, where the PC would post, then shutdown and reboot with default settings.
I use F5G. It performs about same for me at F4. F5L had an infinite reboot loop with certain OC settings.
I couldn't get my E6850 to do much OC at all. Running 3.5 at stock voltage. Couldn't do 3.7 or 3.8 at 1.42V or with auto voltages.
My Patriot 8500 memory can do 1066 5-5-5-9 easy at 2.0V, or can do ~1216 at 2.3V and loose timings but I didn't get any Prime benchmark improvement.
Overall, the board seems finicky in its OC settings, especially for RAM.

See photo of the nuts. I measured the nut, and it looks like the screw would be a 2mm diameter screw. I'm guessing it is a metric thread, but could be wrong. Plus, as you can see, they are not your typical nuts. If you want it, I guess I could sell them for $10, and I'll put them in a US Mail $0.41 envelope, but I wouldn't mind keeping them in case I need a different future cooler or something.
If it is worth anything, I use a "Scythe SCNJ-1100P 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler - Retail" which is simply the Ninja Rev B I believe (just got it from Newegg) and it fits perfectly (1/8" gap all around), and keeps the crazy cool on the back in place - no need to remove it. It used to be the #1 highest rated cooler at silectpcreview.com, and is very cool.

I might be interested in purchasing them, I'm not sure yet. I'll know after Monday, or hopefully by then (contacted Gigabyte and asked whether or nut cutting the back plate voids warranty).
Also, was the sealed bag they were in very small?
