Sorry for the loss Victor, I came late to the funeral pyre....
But I have a question,after all what I've read in this post.
If it's possible to kill a CPU with high VCORES...(electromigration/heat).... is it then possible to kill a CPU by running it undervolted?
While I'm not benching/gaming, I'm running my QX9650 at stock and very stable at 1.15VCORE.
I know this has nothing to do with going extreme pushing the CPU, but I've been playing with tosee how coolI can keep it on air at stock voltages. AFAIK the standard VCORE to run this chip at stock (3Ghz) is 1.25VCORE. However,I'vebeen ableto keep itvery stable and with incredible low temperatures under 1.15.
I've heard people saying that I can do this with no problem at all,while some other people have warned that you can kill a chip because ther is a big difference in the ohms I'm sending with the lower voltage.
Which statement is true then....
