Yeah Johnny, I am praying to the gods that this new CPU will do the trick.. One really good thing about this replacement processor, is that it is a retail chip whereas the one I returned to them was OEM.. that means I get full 3 year warranty with Intel themselves!!!

I really can't fault the guys at OcUK, not many people would have done this when my last processor didn't show any faults when they tested it...

I will have to give this new BIOS a try when my processor arrives tomorrow..

@Stasio, what do they mean by improve PCIe?

Will this mean that I can raise the PCIe clock higher than 103MHz, or does this still require the hardmod???
