1.6v, 200 FSB (800 as defined by Intel, they quad-pump). They're semi-stable at 3.2, so I run them at 3.0.

What many people don't know is that Intel produces one piece of silicon for all of the their processors of a particular core. As silicon advancements are made, revision numbers are assigned...eg A1, B1, C1, D1, M0. The D1 was the last (latest) stepping that a 1.6Ghz chip was sold. The highest clockspeed sold out of the D1 revision was 3.0 ghz. So, the 1.6 chip can handle 3.0 with relative ease. Hope that makes sense...

In mine and i'm sure in many others eyes it's your own fault

"I can see it was only a connector so I decided to open the PSU and fixed it."

Why the hell didn't you just send the thing back if you noticed something wrong if the thing was new??????????

i just cant understand why the hell you never.And come on,it's not like it was just that once you opened it up.
"Open up the PSU again and clean the powerswitch "

"I been thinking about this before, does anyone know the situation if the PSU blew up the systemboard due to a manufacturing faults."

you aint got a leg to stand on,maybe next time you spend that sort of money you'll remember you aint Thomas Edison and go putting your fingers in places they shouldn't be and use your brain and SEND THE *****ING THING BACK.
