Fried my DFI X58 UT T3eH8

[Sam_oslo]

running it out of spec - you should cool it out of spec

my board is fine after 2 months of 24/7 100% on 8 HT cores running WCG Help Conquer Cancer
i7 920 C0, 3,8GHz , 1,23 Vcore, 1,36 VTT, rev A56 board

perhaps this did the trick:

I have never cared about cooling that spot. I don't even know what is under that cooler. But good cooler you found, .
What kind of chip is under it?, and what makes it hot VVT, Vcore, something else?
