this thread grows fast......
thanks for the suggestions. hopefully newegg ships my stuff today and ill get to stick in the new ram.
(the xigmatek thats coming has the exposed heat pipes on the bottom. should i try to lap those?)
farthest ive pushed my chip is 2.7 ghz. it was stable, but the memory was underclocked.
i know that if i lowered the multiplier i could get the memory up.. but i was just playing with the chip that day.
