I'm glad you chose the safe side mate. The Q4EG is almost indestructible.

Batch 3003B242

This baby's going back for a replacement. Won't even boot at 4 Ghz without at least 1.35v under phase temps!

I think it's got a lousy IMC. Granted, I've maxed out the VTT I'm comfortable with at 1.475, but that's no reason to be able to bench friggin Vantage at higher clocks than SPI 1M....

On a side note, I really need to find the FB pin on this 5870 Lightning - cause it can bench 06 at 1350/1250 with 1.35v....
