yeah its always important to get some benchies at completely stock, alot of people forget that and then don't have a reference point.

so just install drivers and the benchy programs to get the absolute stock results.

Great tip, thanks!

it crashed and now it wont turn on... i fear that the mobo died.. it was a newegg refurb... how would i know?

[AgEnT0140]

i think its time to RMA it.. :cry: :cry: :cry: right after i get all the parts it craps out! :mad: :mad: :mad:

What happened?

Like the fans dont spin?

You probably shorted it by having it on your desk

[AgEnT0140]

it was on a box, on a foam pad.. nothing happens, the light that says it has power goes on, but thats it.. :(

[looktall]

well a power light is a start.

have you got another PSU you can test with?
it might not have enough to kick it in the guts to get it started.

pull everything out except the ram and cpu. does it boot up?

tried that, i dont think its the PSU. there is a light on the mobo that lights up when you have powe rrunning to it, even when its not on. i sent an RMA request to neweg...

That's a very dumb thing to do.

You dont EVER Run it in the Foam.

why, becuase foam is conductve? didnt think so.. and considering that i've done it before with no ill effects.. what would have been better? a big sheet of metal?

[texasfit]

LOL - I like the sheet of metal idea :)

[Maxvla]

newegg should rma that no problem.
