but soldering.......I'm not the man for THAT job

I know its your choice but i think you should be more than happy with your results on a v1.6 board.

The goop pn the northbridge is crap mate, if you have time do reapply it. Use the non conductive stuff if you can (usualy comes free with coolermaster and such heatsinks, white stuff) so ou dont run the risk of killing anything.Originally posted by Zak33

Also have a read through this me old chap . A lot less risky and it will still make you feel like a man
If you dont want to take any risks though, do with what TiG said, just be happy with your overclock . You can adjust it up to 1.7v in the BIOS, leave it at that if you dont wnt to mess

hmmmmmmm....TiG....hmm......
what can I say?
Well.....I upped the volts to 1.6 and just started winding up the FSB and it hit 180 with the full 12.5 multi on it
2250 and Cas 2 6-2-2
I guess I better use it now
Cheers dudes

anyone use one of those Zalman northbridge coolers?
they any good ?
