People have had issues with dielectric grease in the socket before, however that was on Intel. Make sure you have insulation and towels between the board and backplate as well. As the CPU is raises above the board you'll get frost forming on the sides of the CPU, so be careful of that too.
I've only managed to find one dead card and one buggy card. Skipped 3 on ebay as I though my card was working fine, but now they're all gone.
This is stage is a pain...
If I search "hwbot.org e6600" in Google Chrome I get some weird website addresses that look normal except have "bjgzwzf." or "repo.m." in front of "hwbot.org/hardware/..."
Legit or malicious?
Interesting info, thanks Infrared! Do the Windsors have lower CBs and CBBs? Because both of my 6000+ can boot under SS at -50C (ish). Will rebench this weekend too.
Here we go, best run so far @5GHz. IMC couldn't do 2876MHz on air, but can on phase. I've been having trouble with clocking the G3258, so probably can get more cache and lower volts for core.
Finally a full sub-6mins 5GHz run for me!
