[death]

Full air, Thermalright 120 Ultra with 38mm depth 120mm Ys Tech fan, thermal paste is Tuniq Tx-2

Gotta love Crucial Ballistix my last remaining stick is throwing thousands of errors and its only 3 weeks old rofl oh well slaps some cheap generic in.

Oooooh, very nice chip, you're tempting me to try and push mine further..... not really tried much on this board (P5B Deluxe) and it's supposed to be a good 'un.....

[death]

yes p5b is a dam fine board had my old e6600 up to 4.2ghz cpuz and was a good board to work with soon as u sort the vdroop out
have a read here great guid for that board

I was about to say 'thanks for the link but I should be okay', but I think it's Tony Bigtoe isn't it, so it may be worth a read after all..... his info is usually top-notch. Thanks for the link anyway mate! Overclocked this board a bit, and this chip on other boards so I think I'll be okay, but you can never have too much info.....

System is rock solid at 3.6Ghz 1.4v vcore passing 12 hours of o.c.c.t


Would appear 0502 Bios is slightly slower than 0402 Bios

0402 Bios Run 3.5Ghz Superpi 1m 778Mhz 5-5-5-12 Result 14.719s


0502 Bios Run 3.5Ghz Superpi 1m 778Mhz 5-5-5-12 Result 14.766s

that's quite a bit of hardware you're killing there.....2 sets of ballistix and a mobo......doesn't look good does it?

That P5E looks a nice mobo, perhaps you can go easier on the parts this time.......or find out what you're doing wrong first........since so many failures cannot always be attributed to poor quality.

Nice review, best of luck

Could This Be A Possible Cause Of Dead Ballistix?

Kev lol you should try the 107 bios lol 2.2 vcore ftw but from when i tested last night it only gives you 1.9 vcore if i get time ill put it back on and do a pic

keep up the good work +mofo don't even try and tell me you have not killed some hardware if you have not then you are doing it all wrong m8 lol

Think i'll wait until i can better cool the chip mate

But here's my best cpu-z at the minute
