Yeah, i deffinetly noticed a small piece of my cpu core missing when i reapplied my water block after some rearrangement of my system. There is a little fragment missing right an the botton right corner of the core, and it is causing hell with my stability.

It must have been there for some time because i had notice my system all of a sudden getting flakey at previously stable settings. The thing is that i seem to be getting memory related errors and i know that my cpu is the only thing damaged, my memory is running at stock.

So, anyone else crack there AXP cores?? and if so what was the system doing?

well that was helpfull....no go run 1.8v thru your P4 :rolleyes:


anyways a friend of mine cracked his 2000+ a long while ago the only thing that happoned was, the system would run fine sitting at the desktop or playing MP3's once that CPU usage got over 30% his system would crash and reboot.
thats all I distinctly remember
 
Have you run Memtest86 just to check your memory out.
Thats the first thing I run when I build a system and if I start having problems after a rebuild.

Luck.......:D
 
the corner of my 2100+ is chipped...

palomino core. runs fine (prime stable for a while anyway) at 1900mhz/1.85vcore. no problems here:)

sucks about your chip though.
 
My friend has a duron with the edge ALL THE WAY around the core missing, but it works 100%... we both think its very weird... he cracked it with some POS compUSSR heatsink. Anyways, I geuss it just depends on your luck.

Cant you get "good" shims for Athlons and such that could protect it (and cut down on heat dissipation) just as well as the P4s ihs?
 
I have two cracked Athlons, not even XPs, and they both still work 100% even overclocked 25%. Check out other sources of issues. Usually if it's a mechanical failure, it's a catastrophic one.

I did that on my 1.8A...hell It runs stock at 1.85V....get's up to 1.95V

I've never cracked an AMD core(knock on wood)....I've struggled with the heatsink on both my parents and friends computer....I push, pull, wiggle, and slide the heatsink....damn things don't come off.

I did...1.812 to be exact...3.8ghz. Go run 2.5v through ur amd:rolleyes:

jk, had to do it :D. Seriously though no need for that "I love my p4 comment", axp's are kickass too.
 
I chipped the core of my 2500+. Run prime, and 3 minutes in *POOF*, it was gone. At least yours still works a little.
