asus m3f test sample
860 ES
and my dom gt two sticks

seems like most of the ppl that gone over 1.5v have their bracket melted in some ways......... thats a pretty scary thing ; ;

ok one stupid question. how do i change ram timing is windows?
i cant use cpu-tweaker.

for high mem clocks
cpu tweaker doesnt help
other than helping tweak the main timings

the subtimings doesnt do much good other than rtl's
and rtl's is based on voltage ratios and dram chipsets.

oh i juz a need to tweak the main timing. its a hassle for me to restart many2 time. so any program that i can use?

Careful people, you don't want to burn up your CPU and Motherboard together. Affects boards with Foxconn sockets.

ya we know that edy...
cstkl1 edy posted that last month...
seems 1156 not that strong r...?

The issue is with the socket, not the chip. I feel weird too because Foxconn has been making sockets for so long but stupid things happen sometimes I guess q

here is my 1st effort.

yah from a new consumer point of view, we may think that it is simply the socket's problem. LGA1156 CPU has 175 pads for VCC and LGA1366 CPU has 250 pads for VCC. Imagine that the power draw that the LGA1566 requires is the same as the LGA1366, how much stressed would be placed on those smaller number of VCC/VSS pins contact on the LGA1156.

but however they found out that it all happened to only FOXCONN socket, but not to another manufacturer LOTES (used mainly by evga). apparently is due to some pins not in contact at all! now foxconn is well aware of the issue.

wow, cooled with hyper 212+ u can get less than 70c on full load!
how about the ambient temperature?

i think the ambient is around 27-28 non aircon room but highly ventilated.
btw my hyper 212+ is on pullpush config.

that nice for rm100 cooler
but the vcore for 4ghz is quite high

yeah it was high. that the only vcore that stable. two notch lower and i'll get my core 2 fail.

im new to i5... not sure how to OC it yet.. but for users who owned the sunbeam CCF .... ive found a way to fit it onto the LGA1156 with the LGA775 mount

btw....2.8ghz (133X21 turbo) prime95 stressed 1 hour @ 58C ... is this temp good? using the sunbeam CCF

which one is ur proc?

turbo on?

my proc is this-> http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=777959
2.8ghz with turbo on btw..(settings still all stock.. dare not move on till i know that the temps are safe) and ive resat the heatsink and tried another method of applying the TIM.. temps down by 2 degrees :/

*edit* finally got the hang of OC-ing the i5.. did 3.49ghz on stock voltage with load @ 60C XD... tho i dont wanna increase the voltage much as it will affect my monthly electric billzz (learned it the hard way)

just got the same mobo yesterday. still waiting for the dom gt ram to arrive, will report see if the same problem or not. crossfinger haha

just setup my i5 earlier and i havent touched any bios settings or anything but cpu-z shows i'm running at 2.8ghz?
