I used to be a proud owner of 1800 jiuhb oc @ 182X12 until I tried to push it to hard this week and blew both the chip and the mobo (ecs k7vta3). The bottom of the chip actually warped because of the voltage/heat.
I bought a $94 frys special of ecs k7vta3 v.8 and boxed barton 2600. I have heard that I cannot unlock the multi on this. Does it unlock with a wire mod? Can I "paint" it (connect the bridges)? I got the chip to 180X11.5 with stock vcore and stock cooling but I want it to faster. My 1800 blew this away in sandra tests. HELP
