    Thumbs up My MOSFETS have SUNK...

    ...ok, maybe not, but they have been sinked!

    Heatsinked that is:

    I should probably have found a way to apply pressure to it though during the curing process, but too late now.

    I noticed a significant +12v and vcore rail stabilization too.
    As for overclocking, won't find that out until I can get some new RAM.

    Excellent job on the sinkage man

    Did you cut those yourself? Man, it looks professional! I'll bet it was hard to cut those sinks that small

    Well, all readings are measured by the Epox utility at one second intervals.

    The 12v used to dance around from 11.7 to 11.9 fairly erratically-now it is almost constant at 11.9.

    The vcore is set to 1.725v in the BIOS. It used to dance back and forth from 1.696 and 1.712-now it is at 1.696 99% of the time.

    My 5v rail used to move around a bit more too(not as much as the others at all, however), but now is 99.99% of the time at 4.865.

    So, overall, the rails are more consistent.

    I do wish this board didn't undervolt so much though.

    Not bad for five minutes of application, letting my neighbor cut them, and about $.25 worth of Alumina Epoxy I'd say.

    Not sure why, but my +12v rails improves under load...

    Wish I had a multimeter...
