@zalbard, I really wouldn't want to lap my processor because that voids my warranty which I don't think is worth it tbh...

@Johnny, I am using Xigmatek fans on my TRUE.. actually I am back to using just one simply because I seen no difference in temps when using 1 or 2 fans..

Something definitely isn't right with these temps, I suspect maybe the base of the TRUE or the processors IHS is warped or something.. I will test out my 2nd TRUE tomorrow to see if it is any better... I hope that it is!!!

I have managed to get this processor stable @ 3.8GHz (191 x 20) with 1.248v Vcore, and 1.300v QPI, but I REALLY want 4GHz, and it doesn't seem to matter what I try for 4GHz it just refuses to run stable...

I have been talking with the tech guy who gave me this replacement chip, and I asked him if he could send me my old one back again, and he claims that he cannot find it, and that it went into one of the systems that they sell!!!

How shady is this??

Also, when I mention to him about how I think this chip is one of the processors that didn't make the grade for their 4GHz bundles, he never said anything in reply to that, which makes me think that this is EXACTLY what has happened...

I also asked him what happens to the chips that are unable to reach 4GHz, and he just said they go into the pre built systems that they offer...

I am extremely upset about this whole situation, If only I had the mounting bracket for my TRUE before I returned my last chip, as I would have been able to test it out to see whether it was the Zalman bracket that was causing my system to only see 4GB...

Surely they have to do something about this though, I mean, I feel like I have been robbed here tbh...

I am waiting on the guy to reply to my last message in their customer support forum..

I will be buying another 920 at the beginning of next month, but I really don't know where the best place to get it would be.. I am to scared to get it from Oc incase I get another dog.. however if the guy I have been chatting with can cherry pick me a decent processor that clocks to 4GHz with fairly low voltage, then I will get the processor from them, however that doesn't help me in regards to this current chip...

I have told him that I am not happy, and that I really don't want this chip.. so I just need to wait and see what he can do for me...
Mate ... I've told you ... OcUK are chancers, they deal in muddy waters and like ... will fob you off at the slightest oppertunity.

Sounds like you are at an impasse with OcUK, just now, they know they are wrong, so they should offer you one of their Cherry picked CPU's.
