I'd pushed my X4 810 to 3GHz with stock cooler... and also with unlocked extra 2MB cache with the ACC trick. Now I have a PII X4 940 already.

Asus M4N78 Pro... not ACC though, it's NCC (Nvidia Core Calibration).

I'm giving up the CCF already... trading in for Zalman CNPS 9700 LED. Besides, forcing the CCF in might damage my mobo in long term.

Not too expensive lah... got special price. I'm gonna oc kao kao my proc when I got my Zalman.

Red board is always damn cheap looking...

Due to some disagreements with the traders who wants to trade Zalman with my CFF... I've decided to keep my CFF and give it one last attempt to mount it on my CPU. So basically installing the CFF without taking out the board is nearly impossible so I took the whole thing out and it took less than 5 mins to mount the thing! Now it runs 12 degrees cooler than stock during full load!

Actually at first it seems to be impossible to mount the cooler, I didn't want to take out the mobo. After hours of trying I'd decided to give up and sell the cooler. So a trader here wanted to trade a brand new Zalman CNPS 9700 with my CFF (of course with top up from me). After some disagreements on the price so I cancel the trade with him... frustrated... I've decided to give it one more try, following Fuzore's advice... to take out the mobo. Haha... didn't know taking out the mobo to install the thing is so much easier than leaving it inside the case,

I thought XiuKiong is cockroach!

Anyway... now running my PII 810 @ 3.2GHz... load temp less than 50! Great!

Haha... a good cooler with easy installation shouldn't require you to remove mobo right... gonna try 3.4GHz tomorrow.

Already got metal back plate on my mobo.

MSI ah...? Sexy board...

I'm no sifu la but I think should be okay because with CnQ enabled, idle vCore will be lowered. Besides, so long your temp below 60 and you should be doing fine.
