    Thanks to everyone trying to help. Greatly appreciate it.

     

    Socket pins are not bent, except one that might be a few degrees off. But when removing CPU after one of my sessions, a few strands of grizzly ended up in the socket. I tried to clean that with a very sharp needle & then isopropyl alcohol, looked okay. But then I had all those issues in the next session. That's when I made the post.

     

    After that Jason suggested me to get contact cleaner. I cleaned the socket & RAM slots with it. Had another session yesterday, less problems then before, but still had to leave RAM @ auto(2133) & random freezes above -140C, even though voltages set correctly. When taking out the CPU today, I did notice some a little deposit of whitish stuff on some pads, so that might be the reason.

     

    Gonna try one more session with a new CPU next week. If that session doesn't show improvement, I'll RMA for socket damage. I don't mind even if they charge me a fee. But I spent a lot of time insulating this board & rather not remove it all & do it again. So hopefully i can fix it.

    Nice mems Bullant. :cool:

    You raised the bar for 4G. :ws:

     

     

    Had a strange issue, benching last night, wondering if anyone has a clue.

     

    I was cooling down the CPU, when the system froze around -150C. I reboot & obviously hit CBB.

     

    Heat up to -120C, instead of being stuck at 00, now i am cycling 00 19 4C. Weird. Heatup to -100C, still same. Remove a stick of RAM at a time, i find out slot 1 isn't working with any stick of RAM that i own, even at Auto. All cycling 00 19 4C.

     

    At this point i call it quits. Let the system heatup & around -10C, i decided to try 1 more time again, just for the heck of it. And it works. :eek:

    Decided to pull down again, dump one flask in, get to around -49C, try booting again, same 00 19 4C. And then i stopped for real.

     

     

    Anyone have any idea as to why...?

    I tried, reflashing MEI, Clearing CMOS, heating up the mem slots with hairdryer (there was no water to begain with), different RAM, pot wasn't touching the RAM or anything. Still, nothing worked. :mad:
