Edit: btw I think you need to be really lucky to get a 'great' E6750 these days. I bought one and it didn't do really well either and my E6600 just blows it away. I did a bunch of testing on my E6750 and you can see my results here>>>http://forum.abit-usa.com/showthread.php?t=129574
Thanks. I used some of your voltages from your link there and tested a bit more. But it didn't get my past that FSB wall. Drat. I guess 3.65GHz is the best this E6750 will give me.


Regarding the heatsink mod. I'll probably wait 4 weeks before I mod the motherboard. I just bought it and want to be sure I want to keep it before I make any unreturnable changes to the board.

But I was wondering. Is there a reason why nylon screws were not used? I went ahead and bought both metal and nylon screws and bolts for when I do do the mod. Hopefully the nylons will be strong enough and will provide some safety.
