I fried my intel Core2 Duo
Posted: Wed Dec 12, 2007 12:22 am
E6420 4M Cache 2.13ghz 1.35v (Recommended)
Max I had it up to was like 3.5-3.6ghz @1.5v Max heat I ever put on the core itself was 60c under load (thats directly from the chip heat sensor not the MB sensor and was testing only)
So yea 2 months later the Chip gave out running I think 3.4 or 3.5 @ 1.3-1.4v and were talking heat of 40C under full load with a thermalright Ultra 120 extreme

I admit I ran days and days of stress testing on the chip before I finally settled on a rock solid speed, I'm pretty surprised the chip blew 6 months later after that.
So I mailed the chip back to intel last week, they got it on Monday, and shipped me a new chip on tuesday. I'm kind of in shock because I was expecting them to reject the CPU for voiding the warranty and classifying it as customer neglect/misuse. I'm either really lucky and slipped threw the cracks or they just don't care, after all the chip probally costs 2cents to make hehe..
