off day and nothing to do at home, so I decide to replace the thermal paste in between IHS and HSF from CLU to IC7...at the same time, swap my ram to black slot and checking the ram version 

looks like no significant different between CLU and IC7, but one thing that I noticed when I removed the HSF, either my IHS or HSF no flat enough, got a concave as the CLU is not really touch at the center area...

CLU

IC7

btw, my corsair vengeance pro 1866cl9 is rev5.29... and according to the corsair ram ic, they are hynix based ic...any comment?

Try applied thicker layer already? Apply to all the contact areas: chip-IHS, IHS-HSF. Four layers in total.

Hynix should have timings like these:
2133 11-11-11
2400 11-11-11
2400 10-12-12
2666  11-13-13
2933 11-14-14 or 12-14-14
3000 12-14-14

nope, in between die and IHS still CLU... I believe temperature will become worse if change to other thermal paste 

those timing is 1T or 2T? currently i'm able to run 2133 @ 9-11-10-27, 1T 1.65v

Coolaboratory liquid metal top out other thermal pastes according to the latest benchnark: http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/thermal...ml#xtor=RSS-993

Those timing could be either 1T or 2T. Your timing is correct.
Hynix would be:
2133 9-11-10
2400 9-11-10
etc...

2400 9-11-10? dont think my ram can do...cant even boot at 2400 cl10 
btw, does Hynix ic like high voltage? whats the typical voltage?

guys, what is the stock voltage of 4670k? google didnt give me answer.

Just run hyperpi for fun and the first time, 4.6GHz, 1066 @ 9-11-10-27, 1T

There is no such stock voltage but every chip has its own VID. They are unique.
Looks nice for 24/7! 

laaa no wonder cannot find. thanks!

Wta, any good mobo <RM700 for mild oc for 4770k to recommend?
currently in mind is Asrock Extreme 4 due to 8 sata port (which i need) and nice layout as well.

Will consider if it cost more than rm700 but not rm900.
also, which AIO/HS will you guys recommend for like 4.5ghz daily use. (<400)(my ninja does not support new platform )

Maximus VI Hero rm 830

May i know the price is from which seller? from LYP - viewnet is rm935. thats a great rm100 saving.

^i'll juz grab it off from LYP 2moro.
Seems like a great board that packed with all these feature. thxs for d recommendation. will be back later for OC. 

Actually it is overpriced in Malaysia supposed to be RM600+ only lol.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813131989

$210 usd = RM 660.24
promo $195 usd = RM 613.08 only 

well, for me everything is overpriced compare to US. from photography equipment to pc item, we have higher mark-up.
but for the ease of warranty purpose, can't help. else postage charge to US will be quiet pain. ur post juz make me  grab it and shall be it. don't think so much else will be in doubt again.

btw, have you actually fried any cpu/gpu/mobo before?

Burned to smoke?
yes, DFI X58 UT got its VRM burned.
