i got a pretty good i7 920
default vcore is 0.950 and its stable at 4.0 1.190 HT on and 4.2 @ 1.230 HT on
the only problem is the temps are high even with a lapped TRUE
at stock the thing idles at 39-42c and overclocked it idles at 46-48c and loads up at 83c under prime/linpack
i think the IHS is the problem
looking at the pic it seems there is a lot of TIM around the edges but hardly any in the center
the thing is i had a great clocking lapped Q6600 before this and i found it more difficult selling on than i thought as it was a great clocker
i saw worse clocking unlapped Q6600 sell for more on the MM
has anyone here sold a lapped cpu in the past was it more difficult or maybe there was no demand at the time i posted it
