Not the best looking lapping ive seen but it serves its purpose. Wish I had some solid temps to compare it too. And my IC7 is still setting in, but the temps do look a little better. Didnt hurt anything (other than my warranty) thats for sure.

the godsend 759?


your going to need to pull the board apart and look at it carefully for water in and around the socket and on the components near the socket. and i wouldn't be waiting to long to do that...else rust (or what ever that green stuff is and becomes) will form on the board...speculation of course

I will do that. As is now I do not see anything resembling wetness any where. Just a bone dry desert.

What do you guys think, For some reason now when I restart is a no go cycles through to 69 shuts down starts over... Nothing O/Ced. Turn psu off then on starts up normal only once though. Always have shut psu off/on to boot back up. PSU bad?

Bad board.  I am having that SAME problem.  SAME.   something on the board shorted out I guess.

which board is this?


asking nate as well.

My 759.  it just died last week.  RMA'ing it now.

Took everything out even the CPU.  But the board would try to boot, then shut down mid post with a CPU only.  usually during the 60 something post code.

Something that was on my desk I didnt notice when taking the picture. I dont keep my desk as clean as I should.

Nice job on the lapping Rudster!

Guys, sorry about your rma's, but get 'em in quick....you don't want to have any down time when fermi hits!

I going to take a break from benching for a week, or so....too much neglected work....need to catch-up.  Plus I have to study on how to do this a/c chiller thing.  I'll be asking some questions to you guys, for sure.

Hey q take some pics will ya Ive been collecting as much free stuff as I can I got 2 5000 btu units and a mini fridge I would like to do something with just wont have time to start for a while. I think im going to drill some holes in the mini fridge for now and see if I cant stay around 30 degrees @ 4.6 everyone seems to hate that idea eveywhere I read but im hard headed going to try anyways dont really see how it could be worse than just water.

Haha I'm with you there Rudster.. I have a bunch of books and games/cases on my desk.

+1 that lapping looks great!

And I'm gonna be taking a short break too most likely. It's now the last month of the short course season and Senior Champs are coming up. Need to own there more than I do at the bot.
