Anyone have any tips for things I can do to avert my biggest concern: bent pins and static?

 

[S_I_N]

gotta love the TIMP differende in the TIST runs

lmao sorry was makin fun of the accent

staatic shouldnt be to big a concern if done the way he shows bent pins well always a risk just dont man handle it to badly lol or maybe find something to use to protect them like maybe a bar of soap for the holder just make sure ya clean it good afterwards

watch your timps when doing the tist,L O L!

should i do this on my cooler as well? cobberplate i think.

Do this damage the chip in anyway? Or is it just the opposite, as it bringing the temps down?

 

[S_I_N]

well damage is obvious lol it removes metal from the top sp forget warranties. but cooler temps is what its all about been around for a long time now I used to lap processors but havent in ages. Also dont know if its benifical for current proc's he was using a LGA775 E6600 IIRC

 

[FillaFillason]

ok,bad choice of words. That it get damaged is obivious, loosing the warrenty,removing metal.. BUT, do it damage the life length of the cpu?

I must admit im alittle skeptic to this,hehe

Well I got a BSOD yesterday because of not opening the windows (folding while everyone was out) and the room got too hot and CPU overheated. If it can even shave 5-10*c off my 1090 then I'll be pleased

Look at the westcoastmods tutorial too see if your cpu is uneven

10 degrees is a bit ambitious unless your chip is a real dog

turn down the volts on ur cpu 1.5volts is alot for 24/7 use

I'm pretty sure it's heat that did it, if I'm at home and just keep the ambient below 27*c things are usually fine. The room just heats up to tropical conditions if I close the door and windows

 

[S_I_N]

ok lol but 1.5v is still alot for 24/7 use and can shortent cpu life. if ur just folding with it do ya need 4.1Ghz

4.2 actually. 4Ghz runs at 1.45 I think then 3.8Ghz 1.41v
