I cleaned the socket really good now with QD cleaner and dried it out with a hair-dryer and the Vantec....the spray air was a waste of money.

I think the 1055T is deceased for some reason. What I mean is why did it just quit working even if some undetected moisture got in the socket it was greased.

Maybe it was a bad chip? In order for me to overclock the NB to 3GHz I had to pump 1.48-1.5v through the cpu/NB. Everyone else I've talked to says that is way higher than what they need.

The most I ever gave the vcore was 1.63v and only long enough for a validation, although it was by no means hot. And since hooking up the chiller I ran the chip @ 4.5GHz/1.6v for a couple hours. I tried playing GRID and it crashed. So I backed off to the regular 4GHz/1.46v, and the system froze up after awhile while I was typing a reply here.

Who knows? I just ordered a Phenom II x4 965BE 3.4GHz C3/125w from the egg. That's a better chip anyways. I sure as hell don't need 6 cores. It's just a waste of energy and extra heat. If I only knew then what I know now I would have bought one of these in the first place.

Shit happens...but what's the deal with the grease? I've gotten mixed answers here. Is it best/safest to just unseat the chiller every day and make sure everything gets dry? Better solution than grease?

Is it a regular thing for condensation to form on the cpu pins/socket and short out peoples cpus? Can I only use the chiller for a couple hours at a time? Maybe I didn't do enough research.

EDIT: at least I have the 4.5GHz cpu-z validation and screen shot for HWBOT to remember it by.
