I think I chipped the chip on this puppy.I had problems getting the HSF off of it and while I was pushing down on the spring to release it, the metal piece broke and needless to say the pressure chipped the corner...I think.Here's the question- I can see white on a little spot on the side of the chip,does this mean that it's chipped?It works now but I heard that a chipped core(or die)shortens the life of a cpu,is this true?Also yesterday I had it running at 1380 no problem and today when I was gonna try and see how high it could go I couldn't get it to post at anything higher than 1240.I just got it please tell me something good!

Sounds pretty grim to me sorry to say...

I had a Duron with 3 chipped corners, and one whole side caved
in and it still ran. If it shortens the life, I don't know about that,
I would think that it would!
