Sweet thanks for the confirmation cwestwell. Maybe thats the culprit why I couldn't get the spring screws to reach.

Yeppers enaberif that was my next coarse of action...widdling down the options heh. I figured the reason I had seen others say FSB strap to 333 was because they were using *cough* lesser ram, while mines got ninja powah

I'm gonna be about an hour here as I've got my mobo out and dismantled as I lap this Vendetta 2. You guys wouldn't believe the uneven surface on this, I was very astonished at how much the aluminum base fingers that holds the copper heat pipes were. took me an hour to lap them down till I hit copper. Anyways I'll make a post with lotsa picts in my worklog in a bit as it's not really pertinent to my OC and is DEFINATELY work!
