WOW

you're brave
mAJORD!
Popping lid in such a new CPU

Has it died on you or you were sure it will survive this operation?
When we can expect first results from you?
BTW in Athlons 64 mem controller was in sync with CPU clock, so X2 6000+ ran at 3GHz
Independent IMC clock is required for independent core clocking. Also enabled K10 to maintain same memory frequency across a range of CPU multipliers (K8 memory speed varied depending on CPU multi.). Same as in Griffin, Regor will have ability to clock cores at different speeds. I only hope AMD added option to completely shut down a core when not needed! That would be cool on a laptop!
