I have mine running at 1.64 volts. Load temps are around 56-60c on a Zalman 7700. I've run it at 1.69 volts for a couple of days but it didn't help my overclock much, so I put it back down. Hope that helps.

Ah, thanks Doctorweir, but I ended up just filing down the metal washers. Took a lot of trial and error, but I eventually got it down to a good fit. Its still not perfect, but I dont want to risk filing it too much to where the heatsink crushes the core, so I'll just leave it be. Temps are a...

Pics perhaps? If its not too much trouble.

Wow, that does seem a bit complicated, but good job nonetheless. I'm guessing that means the socket was never a problem for you. If the main problem is that the heatsink sits too high, do you think filing down the metal washers (the ones the screws go into) would do the trick? Thanks again.

Took off the ihs of my Opty 144 today. Didn't take too long but I did slice off about 5 resistors. Thankfully my opty still works. However, my Zalman 7700 doesn't seem to be making good contact with the core as ambient temps are the same and load temps are about 4 degrees higher. The zalman is a...
