Sounds ugly, but at least some of it survived.

What PSU was it?

[Vento1]

The psu was a Hiper type r 580 watt model wont buy that make again just over a year old.

[Careface]

Ouch. Still, glad at least the CPU, gfx, and hdd lived. :)

Great news indeed! :attn:

In other parts of the world, I lost another machine. OS decided to go belly up the other night. Got the machine back up today, but it won't run BOINC with the SSE2 instructions w/o erroring out. No O/C either. Might be a corrupt download. I'll see about fixing it tomorrow. :)

Good night! :burn:

[Vento1]

Thats bad news Tyrinon hope you can fix it soon.

Happy that some parts survived ... :)

Thats what i thought maybe i just got a bad one when i used speedfan to monitor voltages the 12v rail would show a droop under load, i have checked with the enermax and there is no droop on any of the voltages.
