you just gotta keep trying matey, it can take lots of tries before you get it right!! Try screws not so tight at first and gradually tighten them!!

Many people do have good results with the penny trick, some use 2 pennies on each chip and some use 3, you would need to experiment which will work best for you. How many washers are you using when doing the xclamp fix?

Yes you still need to let it over heat after penny trick, about 20mins should do, as for washers doing xclamp that is same amount as i use! Did you cover the pennies in insulation tape?

When you over heat are you taking your fans out? also once over heated let it cool down for atleast 30mins!

yes and no i sit the fan on the dvd drive so the fan keeps the CPU cool and the GPU overheats it stops the 2 red lights coming on b4 its had long enough to bake

Thats correct, like i said make sure you let it cool down before starting as the solder joints need to cool properly!!
