I dont know about everyone else but Dino it was you that got me excited about this board in the 1st place in the xs thread you made. what was your limit on the board with the last cpu u had on it? have u messed around with the other bios's? for example I just started clocking on the shipping bios right out of the newegg box and was fine. then today I saw chews submission and he got that on the beta bios on the ga site. (the 1st one) I flashed to that one and rebooted and set optimised defaults F10 then tried my old settings and it wouldnt take anything. maybe Im missing a setting but I'm almost considering going back in time. or trying something in between. I just finished reinsulating the board. Im gonna crank the container on now. gimme a few.

Dino Ive always thought it was one or the other. Like do cookiemonsters mod on the cpu: or you do it on the board at the points chew marked. (each board is different) I usually just do the cpu and it worked fine in the past. but after a few board swaps using an conductive ink pen it wears off so I then started just doing the each of my boards separately so it doesnt matter what cpu is on. the board is already done. Am i wrong? this is the thread i made using help from cookiemonster and my own experience. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=250025 the points chew directed us to is the 1st resistor (it threw me off cuz the h55m-usb3 and h55n-ud2h are right here I know it worked because Ive had no mod and cold bug at -90c on both boards and after the mod on just the board (no cpu) I was getting past -125c

got it. Lemme redo this thing and get in this thing. be back soon.

argggh So that was it. I just kept looking at the h55m usb3 and the ud2h points and I thought I was on the right track. Thanks again buddy. I revert back and try those points out. Do need to both points cpu and mobo or one or the other? I always thought it was one or the other.

hahaha chew I saw your submission as you say "a guy walks into a bar" I added the next line of the joke. I wish you and dino were here right now. I'm about to take it all down. I tried to guess where the cbb mod was on this board. Its cold bug around -70c and thats pathetic. Im gonna wipe it off and do it on the cpu instead. this is where I did it on the board. btw chew that stage 1 submission kicks ass. I think that will keep everyone busy for a while. okay get back to work.

dino quit screwing around and get in here with me. Lets roll man!! are you just gonna hold back until the last second of the contest and unleash the beast? cmon dudes this isnt an ebay sniping/ get in here. lets see the real deal. btw the guy that got the clocks in stage 1 you guys are killing me. the hw dudes shoulda made this contest a little better. split the lynnfield and clarks the for the 4ghz stage one. Or is stage one for lynn and clarks for 2? ohh okay..I see. nevermind.

chew this is rad! :toast:

Uncle Jon I gotta hand it to you...this is amazing.What are they putting in that rum? 5 stars buddy! you're rippin it up!

Holy crap uncle jon!

Im gonna do this mod on the h55m-USB3 I think its the same spot as the the last 2 pics. Ill post results. EDIT so far so good. the mod went fine and I can boot in at any temp I went as far as -145c and no problems. FOR THE RECORD THE LAST 2 PICS WORK CB MOD ON H55M-USB3!!! THanks again! now if anyone can help me remember my settings. Thats another story.

wtf?

rippin as always!

man I was way off. I couldnt figure out what was needed for the igp v. I had h55m-usb3 and a 540 under ln2 and wanted to submit before the end of the night but ran into some problems. its been raining like crazy the past 3 days in nyc and after about 1 hr I had some major condensation probs and had to take it all down. Congrats man! I wish I coulda been in there. your qpi and ram clocks at 231 are absolutely beyond. you shoulda had 1st place with those clocks imo. I dont feel so bad now cuz even if i didnt run into the condensation issues I wouldnt've never stood a chance in this one. fking unbelievable man! :clap:

HOW THE HELL DO i VALIDATE?

hell yeah bruce!
