Well, what can I say, having the fastest SuperPi time on this forum came at a price.
Next time you do that, just give me the processor, I could use the upgrade!
Nah I'm not the original owner or else I would try it :good:

Its called benching, an i3 540 is not a very expensive chip to kill, talk to someone who has killed a 975EE or 980X.

$140 going POOF is not expensive?! lol My entire computer probably cost that much.

You could try to RMA it. Or, you could do what i did and make a coffee warmer:

All you need is a soldering iron, some solder, and to know which pins are the voltage and ground ones.
Or you could drill a hole in it and use it as a keyring?

Yeah thats why your computer sucks balls dude, no offense but you probably know that anyway.
Also, these are 32nm, right? They must not like voltage
Yeah, but 1.70 is not that much voltage on DICE....plus all I ran was superPi, which isn't super cpu intensive. On hwbot I see guys running 1.8x volts with DICE on the I3's and over 2 volts on the I5 670 on LN2, which is pretty much the same chip just higher multiplier.
Gee thanks. I wasn't planning on killing it, I thought it was plenty safe at 1.70 Vcore on DICE.
How the hell did you ever get the rig in your sig then? Thats a $1500 setup.
And also, do you work for $.50 an hour and/or like 5 hours a week to only make $140 in 4 weeks?

I have a house, 2 cars, wife, kid, another kid on the way, and my wife doesn't work either she's a stay at home mom. Sounds like you need a better job, but I'm assuming thats what the school bill if for? :good: Kinda put the cart before the horse there getting married and having kids before a good job?
