January 22, 201214 yr Author yes, seems a very good idea. bit of a shame you can only ever get one replacement though. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. ~Gil Stern

January 22, 201214 yr I read this on overclock.net and the consensus from the forum was that many people have been doing this for years. CPU doesn't clock high enough or uses to much voltage? Send it back to Intel and say it wasn't stable at stock speeds.This is a much more moral way of that process though

January 22, 201214 yr Smart choice for many of us here, especially Srdan with his million plus volts, or something like that! Kind regards,Yes yes, we all know I'm crazy :Devil: :Devil:
January 22, 201214 yr Yes yes, we all know I'm crazy :Devil: :Devil:I bet your room gets pretty hot with that giant rad of yours....My room gets blazing when I run Prime for more than and hour or so.
January 22, 201214 yr I like it warm. Right now it's winter here (it should be 0c, but it's about 8c), but let's say I don't need any heating in my room (I have 24-25c permanently here, except when computer is off, then its around 22-23c, since the house is very warm) - but it's not that bad as one would think: the heat dissipates really slowly, and the only bad moments are long flights in summer. That is killing me. Otherwise it's great. Open the window and voila.
January 22, 201214 yr Yes yes, we all know I'm crazy :Devil: :Devil:I'm just jealous that's all, since I can no longer get my 2600K stable above 4.8 since I updated the bios. Not fair is it?
January 22, 201214 yr I'm just jealous that's all, since I can no longer get my 2600K stable above 4.8 since I updated the bios. Not fair is it? How many volts did you pump into it? Maybe just need to cross that "I don't dare" limit :Nerd: Edited January 22, 201214 yr by Kosta
January 22, 201214 yr How many volts did you pump into it? Maybe just need to cross that "I don't dare" limit :Nerd:Strange that you are 200MHZ higher and you are needing 1.52VOLTS! I am using 1.355.....Are you sure you couldn't go less?
January 22, 201214 yr Author One replacement, buy insurance again, replace again if it dies...or?Noi think its one replacement, you cant just keep paying the insurance and getting new CPUs. P.S.

January 23, 201214 yr Strange that you are 200MHZ higher and you are needing 1.52VOLTS! I am using 1.355.....Are you sure you couldn't go less?Yep, positive. I have a chip that needs a quite high vcore, even for 4.8, I can't do below 1.44.Already tested everything, manual vcore, high, low llc...Just gotta live with it.As I once said, main thing is that it survives until IB.P.S.
