Recently inspired by stories of 2.4B's overclocking to tremendous heights on new Canterwood/Springdale chipsets, I thought it'd be cool to dream and get one. Then someone mentioned this "Golden Chip" that crazy people like Thugsrook has. SL6RZ Costa Rica Week 52. Whoo hoo I have an SL6RZ from Costa Rica! So I bought the OEM chip and the FPO/Batch number is on the chip itself so I decided to casually remove the heatsink and look at it. WRONG! I have an SLK-800u, upon unscrewing it from the mobo, I hear a *clunk*, not good right? Fortunately it was only the X-Brace that goes on the bottom of the mobo. OH @$%T! That means I have to unplug all my devices, unscrew the motherboard, and remount the X-Brace. BAH! So I finally take the processor out, clean it with some Isopropyl and then look at the batch number... no luck, it's a good chip, but not week 52.

Oh well, some advantages of taking a hour unscrewing and screwing things in. My HSF setup seems to be about 3C cooler. I must have mounted it funny last time or didn't put AS3 on right or something. But man, its the first time I've seen under 40C temps. Maybe I was "meant" to do this all along hehe. (BTW, my AS3 isn't even settled yet, that'll take another 200 hours)
