So, I get a pencil? As in those you write on paper with? Then just draw a line on it once or twice? just applying a small amount of pressure?

I think i did 8 strokes, try half a dozen and boot up and have a look at the voltage under stress testing (i use Speedfan as it seems more accurate for all my reading).

If I do it wrong can I get a rubber and rub it off or if it breaks the mobo?

Is HB pencils ok? it's all I have.

I used a HB, to remove i would use something alchohol based and a lint free cloth, a few gentle rubs with the cloth is enough and the alchohol will dry in seconds before booting up.
 
lol, nice equal number there :D

So do 6 stroked? I mean, I point the pencil to the transistor? then I put it on, 6 strokes? accross the whole length of it?

Its what i did, just make sure the whole PC is switched off and unplugged to be sure.

Well yea, I aint exactly gonna leave the PC on am I? :p, I dont have any anti-static protection tho, I guess touching the case is fine?

My CPU is at 62 degrees load, I'm gonna try re paste my CPU cooler, put a thin layer on the CPU and on the cooler, I dont think 1 super thin layer seems to be enoug, I'll do the mod aswell, gonna be hard getting that cooler off, means I need to take my motherboard out :mad:

I use Shin-Etsu MicroSi and its a biatch to spread but i tried the normal amount i normally use with AS5, then twice that amount, then half the original amount (virtualy nothing). The difference between the thinnest and thickest was 7C at idle, so as long as the CPU ihs is flat (not concave as some C2D's) and the HSF finish is decent then less is more.
Didnt mean to teach you to suck eggs but i didnt want you to blow your house up, i caught my finger in a spinning delta fan once, ouch.

Must be a powerfull fan if it hurt you lol. :p. I dunno, it's just with my cooler, and I've got the case side off, I'm getting 34 idle and 62 load in this hot weather, now I talk to a guy in canada, his CPU is at 1.47V, 3Ghz with the same cooler and a Antec Nine Hundred case, his idle is like 23 and load around 38 :eek:.

This cool takes the **** trying to get it off and on, I dont get it.

My idle is 10C above the ambiant room temp so at the mo its idling at about 27C in the morning and 32C early evening. under full Orthos it has gone as high as 60C in the early evening and thats on decent watercooling with 1.6V on the CPU.
I woke up the other morning and the room was 15C, my PC was running at 20C.............nice but bloody freezing when i got out the shower. I think the heating needs to go back on.
 
Im having a nightmare with this, im trying to overclock my Q6600 to 3.0Ghz.

Memory Voltage is 1.92v's

NB Voltage and Vcore is Auto.

I upped the Vcore to 1.57 and the NB to 1.5 then tried 1.7

Changed the FSB to 1333Mhz and it justs locks. Tried 1400 and i got int bios but it froze in there.

then wouldnt boot.

Please somebody with Q6600 help me please! lol

cheers.

Change the LDT multiplyer or whatever it is called to 2x in chipset menu, you need to slowely up the FSB, what version bios you got?

You dont need 1.57V on the Vcore for 3Ghz!!!, you might get to 3Ghz on a much lower voltage, slowely start upping your CPU and the VCORE!
 
Do we know if this board can clock 4 cores ok, I remember someone pointing out how basic the voltage regulation was on this board and concluding it would not be so great.
