he does have a point...


But I agree it has taken alot to hurt a cpu I have found for teh most part

Lol, I'll probably have plenty more in the future

Just to make it known, the 1.8V was on the northbridge, the CPU's volts were still the same stock

I guess I was in too much of a hurry as usual and didn't read carefully.

No worries, its still a valid point about how CPU's are very hard to kill. Just wanted to let anyone else know just incase they were confused

CPU's are not that hard to kill so far I've killed (3) QX9650, (2) E8600, and (1) E8500. I've since learned that Vcore and VTT volts weren't the answer to all problems.

I have found out on my i7 less VTT is better and on my old 775 proper GTL settings got me more MHz in the end.

I have to test it the REX may have taken it out during the last LN2 Session. I need to RMA the rex again.
