Was running a 1g AXIA Y Week 10 at 1.33 with the V II with only a thermal pad. Room temps were 77-80C and was getting a consistent 53-54 idle temp. 1.80 VCore. Didn't like that temp because everytime the temp shot up to 58-59C the computer would crash. So I gave in and bought the CAK38 and some AS II. Came in today, had a hard time with the V II, unlocked the multiplier, put AS II on and put the CAK on. Boot up, posts, and I get an idle temp in windows of 37C with the same room temp. For me thats a pretty good drop off in temperatures for a 1.33g. Being the greedy man that I am, I upped the VCore and multiplier (1.82 and 11 respectively) - and now am running at 1460g from a 1g week10 AXIA. I got some wierd registry check error but I just disabled that scan (I wonder how much trouble that will get me into :) ). I had some wierd multiplier's registering at first but the comp finally booted right. I'm waiting for a crash now as I know it will happen sooner or later but WTH I'm having fun O/Cing :)

BTW, temps are now at 42C idle (1.82 VCore 1.0 at 1.460)
I'll run load benchmarks later, if this doesn't crash my comp first :)
