I'm not saying u didn't take the board with the cpu or vice versa, both could be damaged but until you get another cpu to rule out the board or another board to rule out the cpu, its up in the air. And on "Air" its toast at 1.8v
So what is the threshhold for temps on the northbridge? And volts? I've never really played around with the northbirdge so I'm not really sure.

Both the board and the CPU are still working fine, so I'll back it off until I get the LN2 stuff. I'll try it one more time and see what happens
