Surprised to almost burn my fingers on my Ballistix heatsinks. (8500 ones)

they are not really overclocked much - they are running at 4-4-4-10 960 MHz - 2.25V - stock voltage (my P5-B doesn't have a 2.2V setting)

cheers, Mark.
 
thanks - just quite a contrast to my heavily overclocked C2Duo which seems hot - but the heatsink isn't even warm to the touch.

glad Crucials warranty is up to scratch :)

thanks for the reply,

MArk.
 
well they are really - as they are only rated at 4-4-4-12 @ 800 MHz, and 5-5-5-15 @ 1066 - so at 4-4-4-10 960 - they're sort of overclocked ?

Just found I could run them at 2.15V (well so far) at 960 so fingers crossed

Mark.
