So far minimal testing done (board was causing troubles after the 6th stick sadly, but that one seems really nice, in my first tests it ran at least 720 5-5-5-15 at 2.3V for Superpi 1M (after which the board stopped cooperating). 5th stick was also decent, managing 690 at the same settings as the other stick. Need more testing once I get the board to work again or settle down using the gigabyte board... Oddly enough my 1Gbit Elpida based stick also runs 685 5-5-5-15 1m at 2.3V which seems really odd... ...Well today I found some old forum threads about the 5:3 mem divider being broken It makes a lot more sense how I found like half a dozen sticks that did 670+ at 2.3V. It wasn't actually that. Still, the best sticks are usable. Gonna need to get more for more binning then though... I suppose 648 at 2.3V ain't terrible but its not great either :/ Bones Best memory layout on that board you have there Good luck with 939 on the new pot too!

Thanks - I will give it a try later once things have settled down here from all the work currently going on with the house.

Guys ! Some of my biggest dreams come true today ! I guess You know this,owning a legendary stuff is legendary. I get some special thing to my birthday from the person who is very special for me. Actually it's me. XD Also I have to thank to some of my friends who helped about this present.

That's great Alpi!
Touching back on the cap I had to relocate I bought some replacement caps and figured out I could redo it on the correct side of the board provided I didn't trim much off the new cap. The extra length of the legs gave it enough so it lays down flat and the pot can still sit on the CPU lid. With this there is no real need to relocate it to the back of the board so thats what I did - Installed a new cap that way and it's ready to go.
All I need now is some spare $$ for DICE and it's on.

Got some new toys, now I just need the CPUs as well as a board that can take them properly (and no, the ones I'm not keeping are already sold, sorry)

My day was like this... Actually no reeally mentionable cpu discovered.. Again as usual. Soon I'm going to give it up, they are pretty hard to found. If You see for sale, usually on crazy prices... Sooner or later maybe, but not yet, I feel some little faith to continue.

There is even more. But it's not doin better than good desktop ones. Or runs different, I think that's the good word. Scales better with voltage pretty linear at whole range and much lower leakage ones but my best cpu is still a 2800+ with nothing special things if we don't call the +100 mhz gap above the second best ones. It's very hot even and now I was trying to find cpus for an oldschool live xoc event, I guess that 2800+ will doin better for cool. Much chance on it. Can't do anything wit hthis thing anyway so I picked 3 + 2 and I'm going to work what I have.

Murphy as always.. What has all the clocking ability what I was searching whole day ? The last one. A Tb sempron 2300+. It's crazy, board can't keep with breath... At least there is a little fun in the end. valid.x86.fr/59dgkr

Live retro xoc show. I had superb weekend ! We had awesome attendant ! Now, I'm at home, saw my messages and guess what ! I guy told me that he bought an s939 board with a cpu after discussed with me and saw my show ! No words, how I feel now ! hwbot.org/submission/4158695_

Been setting up the Z170 OCF for some subzero and this time I'm not wanting to use plastalina, instead I want it so it's permenantly insulated with little to no worries over it. Grabbed some spray-on LET and did some work on it, there is more to do but not much more. The back is done and should be fine, it's the area around the chokes/MOSFETs I'm still worrying over. Not sure if you're supposed to let them get coated on the sides or not, I know the heatsinks have to make contact so the tops of those won't be insulated. The sides of them I'm not sure about if it may cause temp issues or not, probrably won't but still have to make sure. I'll have to hit the area around the bottom of the PCI-E slot and RAM slot one more time to stop any condensation seeping in under the plastic and will probrably just use vaso for the outer-bottom/edge of the CPU socket's plastic rather than risk any LET get sprayed in, messing things up. I did note there is a pin I'll have to work on but it's simply pushed to one side, easily fixed. Anyhow I'll look it over and work with it some more tonight, maybe get it completed and ready to go.

Take the Mosfet heatsinks off and clean any residue from the mosfets and spray straight over the whole lot right out to the backplane. Then put the heatsinks back on dont worry about the top of the mosfets being coated I havent lost a mosfet cold or not painted and I do it on all my boards. If you intend to take it to that cold meet that Funsoul has coming up you will want it painted to the top edge and out to the backplane. After an hour or 2 with LN2 you will have ice along the top edge. Paper towel is your friend insulating around the bottom of the ram slots beware of putting too much paint on around the ram slots and it wicking up from under the slot into the slot.
Everyone has different ways of doing it you will find what works for you by trial and error.

That's the plan, just take the paint all the way out so there are no worries. I had thought about taking it to the meet so I can at least try LN2 and this would make it something I could and probrably will. I'll probrably smear a thin strip/coating of vaso right along the bottom of the PCI-E and RAM slots then just spray over it, this way it won't allow the LET to wick in and will help create a barrier to hold the water back like I want. I'll also do as I've done before, pack the slots with dielectic grease and that should do the trick for those come time to go subzero.

I've done is the same way Mac describes it and also never had an issue. But I've never had LET. I've always used Rust-oleum Matte Clear Coat.
If you really want to get the HS right on the chip, once dry, you can use a sharp knife (I used an exacto knfe) and flick the coating off of the top of the chip. It'll just break off what is on the chip. Eventually you get good at it and it'll pop off the entire square.
also for tape, use either green or blue painters tape, it's more flexible and it won't move/shift while putting on the multiple coats. I've personally had issues where the electrical tape peeled back and coating got to undesirable locations.

Thanks Vin - It's been done and after spraying the MOSFET area I let it sit for a few then just wiped the very top of those off, all the rest is coated in the stuff as it should be. I also sprayed another coat to the back and completely coated that to eliminate any issues that could be from something not getting sprayed. I will still have to use dielectric in a few places but it's no big deal, the stuff didn't creep into the slots or anything and it looks good overall. I believe once I complete the work with the dielectric where it's needed it will be ready to go. BTW turns out it's the same as the Flex Seal stuff.

ah, ok. out here in CAN I've only ever seen Flex-Seal in black. Neat that they offer a clear.
I was always a touch worried so I usually did 4-6 coats, so for that reason I would flick off the coating on chips that had a HS on them.

Having the same thing here, will have to recoat areas prone to make contact with a surface - The areas that don't are OK. Noted this on the backside of the board and will probrably recoat with the same stuff combined with a hard outer clearcoat.

you'll need to add an identity sticker of some sorts, can't even tell what kind of board that is now.
