So my 955 be ive been running at 4.0ghz for a year on water. Temps never got over 55c.
Had psu power cabled melt into motherboard 4 pin. Dead mobo dead psu.
So i bought a am3 board gigabyte 990fxa ud3, and two sticks of corsair vengeance 1866 ram.
Put it all back together booted up didnt reformat, i had previously used a gigabyte 770 chipset board.
Ran fine until i ran prime at stock settings. Fails blend test not overclocked at all.
So these boards have bios issues. updated to newest beta bios. Problem is i cant get the ram or prime blend to pass at stock settings. doesnt matter if its set at 1333 or 1600mhz, timings, or cpunb volts. bumped ram voltage no luck.
Is it possible the power supply damaged the cpus imc, the mem test failures happen at multiple addresses. Tried switching slots no luck there either. plays games fine all but not as smooth as before, and bootups are a lot slower.
cant tell its the boards crapppy unstable bios or the imc or the memory any suggestions?
