Guys-
I have heard mostly negative reactions about shims over on the other Forum from P.H. and others.
You would really have to press the shim down a long way to short out the bridges, wow!
I put another turn on the four nuts holding down the Maze3

, and increased my overclock on the new 1.3 tbird to 1518 now and also my stupid furnace broke (I know life is a pain) and the ambient in my office is up to 74F.
Funny thing, the reading is at the same temps as they were at 72F and 1440!
I think these CPU's need to be toasted a little!
Fixxitt- So I crushed the
core pushed it down into the body I guess. Hummm, OK, it doesn't boot so that's got to be it.
I do think I heard a little click when I was tightening the nuts, that's probably when it went, or maybe when I bumped the case on the fu&*!$# stair rail on the way back up to my office?
I can think of worse ways to waste $100.00!
Jim
