To isolate would be for ...research :). I am not that patient :). I just delete them and it works. Tight timmings can easily corrupt files because you push it to its working limits and everything is...

You are right :). At some stage you over did it with CPU or Memory OC and some files are corrupted. What I do, in such a case, is to delete the RB folder and replace it with a fresh copy that I have...

ROG MagmaBench? CPU meltdown :D

Yes it's nice to welcome the new one. It's like a new game hitting the stores. Exploring new areas and unlocking mysteries it's my favorite. Can't wait!

Mmmm... Closed beta, yum yum. Winter time, cold nights, rain falling on the windows, fireplace, beta testing new RB :) Am I romantic?

Nodens, I was scared about the gap too. Finally I had to take the risk. The heatspreader on mine doesn't touch the little board at all. It just sit on the DIY. It's like a bare mount. Never tried to...

Good luck IM2 :). Just use a small quantity of coolabs and take care of these little components on the side of the chip.

Good numbers guys. @stivut, u have excellent clocks, now u need tweaking to hit high numbers :)

lol, don't be lazy. Introduce yourself to the thread, unfortunately you don't crash any party :)

Meankeys, grats mate for 843. I see you rev up for Autumn Folly :D.

About the new BIOS, 19xx I think I am going to pass :). Last time I used the 18xx it was a disaster. So I stick to 17xx. 19xx, I think writes the new Intel RST driver. As for Unoborg's boot time in 8...

Never used IC, but it's not a good idea to use it on the chip. It can scratch the silicone surface.

I am sorry to hear that Menthol. It's like Intel playing with overclockers. Previous generations had good clocks and limited IMC and now you can reach 3000 with your memory with no high CPU clocks....

High guys, my job currently keeps me overloaded, more than usual, so I didn't have time for anything else. But I 've seen nice progress, especially with mem frequency. Flexy, congrats mate, you...

Very good job Meankeys! I hope the temps, shine too :)

@ Crimsonomega, I have to totally agree with the sayings of my friend Arne. Noctuas are great for 24/7 setups, but because now you are on benching thrill, my advice also is not to buy. If you want to...

Hey xman, you can go with the new chips coming in a few days for 2011, IVY -E. That, I think will solve the IMC weakness and with 6 cores they will go like champs. For me sadly it's a very expensive...

Flexy, first is the characteristics of the chip. See what crimsonomega's chip can do. Then it's Nodens' saying. Lapping, distance and pressure applied to the chip. For this factor let's say I was...

Myk, in my case drop of temps was around 25 - 30 degrees, meaning that with my cooler, which was and still is, a Noctua NH-D14, I couldn't go higher than 4.4 -4.5 Ghz. Now, about RMA and lapping......

Yes, I've read a lot of stuff and everyone has his rights. I go with what it works. And when it comes to coolabs you need mirror surfaces because it's applied as a paint. It's so thin that any...

That's a good one! Thanks for the tip mate. I hated that rusty thing :D

@ Crimsonimega, why don't you use a 10 meter HDMI cable and wireless keyboard and mouse?

You're right Meankeys 100%, but I used that method because of the material of the heatspreader underneath the Nickel. I lapped copper a few times, mostly copperbases from VGA coolers and never had...

Hey Flex, thanks for rep mate! And remember. Do not try to lap the inside of the Heatspreader. It's impossible to make an even surface there. (As much as I wish to could do it also) :D

Crimson you don't have to remove your scores. By the time you did it, was ok. That's benching mate.
