I probably didn't need all 1.5v, but the board was running it at 1.375 and it wasn't enough. The other thing is that since its only a 590 board I don't know what the nb or the l3 are running at. I'll put it back under the vapo later and see if I can do anything different. At least that board doesn't have vdroop from 1.33 down to 1.26 with this chip.
Edit: Put the chip back under the vapo. I decided to try the 7x ht link to see if it would help, and it got me to boot up at 262 htt. Problem is that I can't get windows to start at that speed so it doesn't really mater. It always freezes at the windows logo before the logon screen.
I'm really starting to think that its the memory controller on these B2's that hate the cold rather than the entire chip. I just booted into windows with 260x11.5, I have the memory set to ddr2-400 setting, nb and ht link at 9x. If I set it to 533 I'm willing to bet that windows won't boot because the imc can't handle the cold. I'll do some more testing later, need to get to school soon.
