Did you get new memory?
na, my memory is a year old already

it took alot of testing to realize that "CPC = enabled" was slowly roasting my memory @ 257fsb.
benchmarks didnt catch it, 24 hours of prime95 didnt catch it, 30 hours of M86 didnt catch it ~ but Serious Sam catches it in about 15 mins, from the added GPU heat.

i turned off CPC and got another 6fsb for free :D
(at that point turning off CPC didnt even effect benchmarks)
my RDA setting is still enabled and it still shows a nice improvement in scores.

I got a nice drop in temps when I went from my SLK900U to the SP-94, also.

7*C cpu temp drop under full load. I did also go from Ceramique to AS5, so not sure
how much that may have contributed to the drop.
