Well no love tonight.
Going to remove the pot rip up the insulation on both sides of the board and try it with another chip.
I went so far as to roll up a papertowl and shove it around hte open area between the pot and the CPU... pulled it of after an hour.. no frost.
ran it without the paper towel, and the CPU frosted right up. So thinking my insulation is good.
Nothing around the CPU socket even gets chilly so thinking the rubber eraser is a bit of Bazooka level overkill considering my environment.
Since I was able to do 4.6GHz CPUz with the 555BE with water, I am going to see if I can abuse that later.
Someday I will figure out what I did wrong with this quad core it just wont be tonight.
