X3350 Arrival

[RunawayPrisoner]

Well, thing is... I can't go any further than 475 and stay stable for long. At this point, I think it's the motherboard that is holding the chip back. Watch the video and you'll see that it's completely possible to POST at 500 but it won't go into Windows no matter how high the VCore is set.

Edit: Oh, and I lapped my chip today, too. Idle temp dropped by 10C and load temp dropped by 5C after lapping both the chip and the ACF7. When I lapped just the ACF7, idle temp dropped by 5C and load temp did not drop at all. And beware, at 1.35V, this chip can really heat up to 80C (with Prime95 small FFTs) when you don't monitor her.
