    it's not the chip that i was suggesting lapping, it was the heatsink. Thermalright have shit quality control on their products
    Then why are you buying their products?

    Temps on that??

  10. Software & Hardware   -   #30
    Who me? If you're really interested mate I'll run a stress test tomorrow evening and post the temps, can't remember them off hand from when it was originally o/c'd and haven't had a reason really to check since as everything's been well stable.

    Oh, and lol, that should obviously have been a q9550 before, not 9950
