I lost my Tbred-B & NF7-S O/C top end
I think I cooked either the CPU or mobo somehow.
I've been running stable at 1.65v/200/2200 @ 44c/54c and I decided I didn't like the temp on my CPU so I shutdown and went into the BIOS setup to back it off.
Made my changes like two dozen times before and the warning screen about not powering down until the BIOS is saved to CMOS came and went as usal. Then nothing... Reset = nothing... Front switch won't shut it off either.
So I use the CMOS jumper to clear it and it boots but at slow defaults. Back into setup and I backed off some more. Nothing again.
Reset CMOS and try again. Nada.
Finally I'm up to 1.55v/182/2000 @ 25c/39c/46c and stable (I think). After another failed attempt at 200/2000 I had a close call on corrupting the HD as w2k was able to fix it but just barely.
I used to hold 200/2000 at stock voltage. Now it won't hold at 1.6v.
I think the several times that Vantek TMD fan wouldn't start up and the 85c CPU overtemp protection of the mobo was forced into action might have been the straw that broke my CPU.
BTW I reflashed the BIOS first thing so that's not the issue.
