Hi Guys,
So I got an MSI 890FX-GD70 and it is one difficult board to O.C, I have got a nice 4.1Ghz @ 1.3875v with my 1090T which is great, but to go any higher the MOSFET get's far too hot (90c +), the PC will switch off randomly 30min into a Prime95 run, instantly, no BSOD, just off and thats that!
As for CPU temps, around 38c MAX on the CPU (not core temps, they are lower and I don't actually monitor them each and every time)
I am definitely buying a new board, one with Bulldozer support 990FX as this board just doesn't cut it when it comes to providing voltage anywhere above 1.4v
Well, what do you guys think? I have 4 case fans, 1 Scythe Kaze 3000 exhausting air at the top rear, 2 "stock" case fans at the top, exhausting air (I will replace them) and 1 Scythe Kaze 3000 at the lower front intaking fresh air (infront of the HDD)
I could work on adding a fan above the MOSFET but would it really help? It already has 2 fans surrounding it (rear and top fan)
