I had to send a 1.4 Tbird back to AMD last week,not burnt or cracked but one of the little SMT thingys on top had suspicious burns. In the meantime, I picked up a 1.1 Duron to play with,which I promptly chipped in one of the 10 times removing or replacing my waterblock. I was cutting,penciling,recutting more bridges trying to get a lower multiplier. Got that figured out, but man I was skeered when I heard that grinding noise.
So far so good, but I imagine this chip will slowly die from core loss....lol
I really despise the fragility of these cores..I know people say all the time how they R&R HSF's 100x and never chip a core,All I gotta say is "you da man ! "
