he he oops, one Conroe core overboard!

Well after 3 months of 1.5V 24/7 has finally taken its toll on my E6600.

The 2nd core errors even at stock and 1.45V!

1st core works fine and overclocks like a mofo, 3.6ghz at 1.45V

But alas, I want both my cores.

So I have to RMA it, and tell the person at the other end it takes HOURS for this error to come up :/

Pitty too, didn't crash, only tested using orthos because F@H was crashing, games etc all fine

Bloody 65nm, can't stand abit of voltage

You're certain it's the 1.5V which killed it?

Certain? Because this is the first evidence I've ever seen of volts killing a chip.

Its not dead, but it errors every few hours depending on clocks, which makes it unusable.

Im running orthos overnight at 400x8 and 1.45V see what happens, but it will probably fail

That is pretty wierd. I guess you can't swap it out to check if it's something else like the mobo or psu?

Unlucky, but good luck with the RMA :/

Nah, deffo CPU, if I use the Single Core flag in XP then it orthos's at 400x9 1.45V!! (that was only for an hour tho - I will try again tomorrow if it fails overnight)

Well its deffo dying

Tested at 400x8 (3.2ghz) 1.475V and it passed, problem is that It used to do that at 1.4V

Oh well.

Gonna shove 1.5V into it again and 420x8 to finally pop its clogs
