Ye but he'd love that!

The stock Heatsink is awesome on this thing. /me decides to use it for a while instead of XP-120 and see how it goes :D

Pics and update will come tonight :)
 
Wirelessly posted (Nextel BB7520: BlackBerry7520/4.0.2 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1)

So what's the deal kemp? The new chip turning up good results or what?

Give us a status report!
 
OK here you go.

Got the new chip in and working fine.

The proccie went in and I tried to start up but my IDE drive was totally screwed...woudn't beat at all.

Installed windows on the SATA drive which took a bloody age (don't have a slipstreamed version)

I am using the stock Heatsink which is quality. Here's some pics:

This is the Ghetto fan mod I did to keep the RAM cool until I get Frags 1337 RAM & 'FET cooler

I'm currently running the proccie at stock 11 x 200 but using 1.3v so that I can burn it in. I'm gonna try 1.275v too :)

Nice mate, those new AMD heatsinks are so totally awesome. Please tell me you scraped off the stock thermal pad and AS5'd it up.
 
Of course I did

Temps currently running at 31-33deg idle and 38-43deg load :)

The stock was a slot hotter actually - when I took it off after a trial it seemed to be making a firm contact so go knows what wqas wrong :(
 
OK Folks here's some pics of my watercooling parts as supplied by XMS and of course The Watercooling Shop :)
