What type of heatsink was it? I still have that OE Socket A MB we were talking about a few months ago. One of the the retention clips on the socket is broken, and the NB might need new thermal paste. Is it something you can work with?

i don't know what the heatsink was all i know is a friend gave it to me. I threw it away.(not gong to risk killing another board/CPU). Yes it is something i could work with but not sure that i want another socket A (have killed 4 of them in 2 years ) Thinking about just holding off and using this PSU and HDD for a dually.Thanks for the offer. I will PM you when i makeup my mind.

ow.^^
i killed a naked x2 4400+ g2 with a waterblock, a year ago... man that was really lousy

that sucks. atleast i didn't kill something that good. I was thinking about making my x2 4200+ g2 naked but after cruching the core on the socket A and chipping the core on 2 others i think its best that i stick with just a vary fine lap job and keep my IHS for the sake of the core

btw i always have wanted to see the core of the X2 chips in person

it gives like 10 degrees or so, on decent air coolers.but the die is very very soft, and most retention mechanisms arent build for a flatter proc, so jo will have to improve it,build you a spacer, or to buy certain coolers.
i will try to shoot you a pic, when i make new ones soon, from the new board

I think i will just stick with the 5-8c drop after lapping the ihs so i don't risk killing the cpu.

thanks

I haven't even lapped any of my CPUs, I can't OC my Q9400 and it runs at 50C even at load so there is no point in voiding the warranty when it won't make that much of a difference. I might try lapping my spare Celeron 430 to see how much of a difference it makes.

just to let everyone know, im going to be down a while. WCG seems to hinder my internet performance at my house and it is pissing everyone off. I took it off all my machines at home and the www is a lot faster.

Sunday, Best Buy is putting out w7 machines, i'll load it up on them.

Sure you can't at least run it on the i7? It's a WCG monster

Freak, what if you set it up so it updates as soon as a work unit is completed? That way you don't use a shitton of bandwidth when you upload 20 work units at a time.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

this is some shit luck. I broke 2 pins on my x2 4200+ the 5kBE was frozen for 12hrs,a heatspreader was comming off of a stick of ram so i pulled it off along with 1 IC and i killed the socket A rig lastnight.

So the results
x2 4200+@2.2ghz (won't clock at all)
1gb of ddr 533 (was 2gb of 800)
loss of about 4k points folding and 1k point crunching
loss of a complete rig
can't spend money on quad as now i have to get new ram and CPU

the good. I now am using the 5kBE in my main rig so more power for benches/gaming
reason to go DDR3/AM3
the 4200 still works stable just won't overclock

so the bad luck finally left me and reached you...
man,im really sorry for you... hope you work it out somehow... get money thru luck or so

you can take your bad luck back anytime
I think the solution to my problem is going to be buy 1(or 2) Athlon II 240 a new board(AM3) some cheap DDR3 and use my Biostar board to run a 240(if i get 2) and use my DDR2 i have now. It won't be as good as a quad but should be better then i have now.

When I get my next paycheck I'm going to buy a cpu in the link below and see if it will work in an old AM2+ Asus board I've got. With the right BIOS it will work but I might have to pull a cpu from another rig to flash it. If that fails I'll have to wait a few more weeks to get an AM3 motherboard and some DDR3 memory for it.

AMD Athlon II X4 620 Propus 2.6GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Processor

Congratulations hat, you'll have your WCG badge before you know it

If you will keep an eye on my stats here and PM me once I reach 225k points (I need to make sure I have enough for the WCG/F@H contest) with your WCG username and password I might switch my quad over to your account for a bit

how? can i have it set to update at like 1am? because my web sucks with it on all day.

Look here. If you do this, the computers will upload one work unit at a time, and because each WU is only about 500k it shouldn't slow down your internet. Also, in BOINC manager go to Advanced-->Preferences-->network usage-->and in "network usage allowed" set to between 23:00 and 6:00 and it will then only upload and download new WUs between 11pm and 6am.

 

[Velvet Wafer]

buy the foxconn,its really nice

PM me with your user name and password and i will set my 4200+ under your name. I mean my points suck ass already so what makes the difference

 

[[Ion]]

p_o_s_pc, you are being amazing today! First you put your 8800GTS on my F@H account and loose 4.5k PPD for yourself, and then you offer to put your Athlon 64 X2 on hat's account to help him out! Way to go!
