I was just what speed memory is out there. I removed my heatsink to apply some good goop (AS3) and I noticed that I had Hynix??(forgive my spelling) 4ns memory. Is that good, my 8500 has 3.6ns mem? On another note. How could they even try to pass off such sh*tty workmanship off. When I took off the heatsink and spreaders, I noticed that the sink was held on by some strange film , but I peeled the sink off by hand, didn't even pu tit in the freezer or anything. Too easy. On the spreaders, it looks like they just put some thick doublesided tape. I pulled them off by hand as well. I'm very disappointed. My 8500 on the other hand, I don't even want to try that one, it didn't even budge when I tried the sink, so that will stay as is. Even though it was free, the loss will still be to great for me to bear.
