well so last night i got my new 1Kw PSU installed, and all was happy in the little world.
i bought this PSU due to some issues i had been having with this mobo.
if i tried OCing, the system woudl never make it to POST. everntually getting to a bad checksum and i would barely get a reflash in and things would work as long as i didnt power down the system. if i did power it down, it would mean spending hours sitting there hitting the reset button over and over again until i re-flash or i get into the BIOS and load defaults.
well, yesterday i got the new PSU and my curousity got the best of me. so i did a simple OC of 8x350.. rebooted...dead...and as of 8am this morning was still dead.
so, bite the bullet and bought a DFI LANPARTY UT P45-T2RS.
this really sucks for me as i was hoping to turn this computer into a media server for all my Tivo/HD shows and movies, and build a new I7 rig in the next couple of weeks.
i guess it works out for the best tho as it will give me some time to see how the I7s shape out. I dont expect to sit on the sidelines too long if the i7's turn out to be great boards and CPUs tho. ill find some way to make it happen.. maybe have to hit the wife up for a allowance increase!
so anyways, ill post some screenies up of the new mobo, as it is still a somewhat new board.
damn!!! where is that email with my tracking # !!!!!!!
