All was going well a couple of vantage runs and 03 runs came out well. The night drifted on and the drinks kept flowing and the logical part of my brain had pretty well passed out and i was curious how much more will my cpu scale in mhz with more volts ???? Now most people benching LN2 on gulftown hang around the 1.88v mark and the 2v mark is for the insane well at 1.9v my cpu was happily kicking at 6.35ghz but of course i wanted more :p so i pumped the vcore up to 2.02v and the cpu reacted well and i was able to hit 6.525ghz so thinking hey lets throw some 3d benches down, now i hit up 3d mark 03 at 6.45ghz :Paranoid: i managed to get through until the last test when the computer crashed and well it made it to bios then crashed again to never boot again and headed to rest with the pile of i7 980x i have successfully killed :P ( I think my graveyard now is up to 6 or 7 gulftown's )
I fainted .....
