Re: Sandybridge Chipset Design Flaw and Recall-
What took 5 hours by the way, did you have to reinstall Windows or just update the drivers etc for the new chipset?

Re: Sandybridge Chipset Design Flaw and Recall-
Thanks Daniel
I just took my time was careful lining up the MB holes, getting the cables nice, messing w/ the arctic silver5 (1st time too much, 2nd perfect), taking breaks every hour or so (+ lunch), did I mention that the HS/Fan attachment was a PITA, then giving the BIOS a complete once over.
Previously:
CPU - 118 ° F
MB - 86° F
Now after running for 5 hours:
CPU - 95° F
MB - 86° F
I'll give it some more break-in time then up the memory MHz (& CPU GHz) a bit.
How long do you wait before boosting yours?
The arctic silver5 .pdf says 200 hrs
I used the existing drivers but did install the new "AI Suite 11"
On my first boot windows detected the hardware & appeared to install or confirm the drivers.
Edit: The CPU temp comparison is off, so I'm scratching them.

Re: Sandybridge Chipset Design Flaw and Recall-
I haven't been messing with the OC'ng lately, but when I did, I waited a few days or so, probably not long enough since it says 200 hours.

Re: Sandybridge Chipset Design Flaw and Recall-
The MSI board was DOA but because of the Intel fiasco, no one wanted to RMA the board! I missed MSI's deadline for free shipping back by ONE day so I said screw this crap and went back to my trusted ASUS brand, P8P67 Pro. Woohoo!
The first 2 screenies are my i7 930 @ 3.8GHz and the second set the 2600K @ stock speeds too! Can't wait to OC this puppy as I just benched it with the stock Intel HS/F for now, I should be able to hit 4.5GHz with my Hyper 212+ HS/F, as you can see the stock HS/F is right at its limits and I'll never OC anything past 70C, that's my line in the sand. It's @ %100 load as is everything on my machines.

Re: Sandybridge Chipset Design Flaw and Recall-
I can't wait until I can afford to build myself one of these i7's compared to my piddly 2.4 ghz Q6600, but I can wait cuz it does what I need it to do

Hehehe, I basically gave away my Q6600 @ $50 but I love what I have! I do folding@home and Rosetta so these machines are being used to the hilt. If I was just surfing/videos, I could have stuck with a dual and enjoyed it too. Would have been more than enough power for me in that scenario.

Sorry! Will be a long time before I sell anything else. You'll be the first on my list whenever I'll want to unload my i7 930.

Re: Sandybridge Chipset Design Flaw and Recall-
That's nice shreader! Yup, that GPU needs some love. Mine is just a 9800GT for the time being. I have a GTX460 onboard too but for some reason, it's not recognized.
