Gah, that sucks

I'll add my Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3L to the list. She was my first...I'm sure she won't be my last....(Icebob wanted me to say he is terribly upset by this loss)

Were the fans not spinning at all ?

RMA ?

I let the magic smoke out tonight, big spark but nothing died lol. Had one piggy-backed cap reversed, it literally flew off

MSI builds good cards.

 

[Deanzo]

Hahaha, too kool!

 

[Brutal-Force]

Nothing like letting smoke out of the wires. Mwahahahah!

Pics or it didn't happen.

 

[Bobnova]

lol, whoops.


Friend of mine did that with jumper cables on his car, you should have seen the cables afterwards!

Looks like my 980X bit the dust during my session last week RIP

 

[GoD_tattoo]

oooh that sucks....RMA?

 

[MIAHALLEN]

Yeah....I bought it locally, so I'll try. But who knows

I'm pretty sure they don't have anymore on hand though, so they'll probably have to order a new one which will take a few days.

I had my first dice action this week, and sadly. While in windows, not even during a bench my 5830 went black, and now refuses to initialize. hopefully there can be an rma for it. Its nothing special as a card but still decent for a desktop unit.

One of my new D9 sticks stopped responding, I still need to take it out of the chill chest.

 

[Bobnova]

Been a bad week! Hopefully next week is less damaging!

Ouch. What were the max volts you ran through it?

 

[markp1989]

I killed my E5200 trying to remove the IHS.

 

[MIAHALLEN]

Ouch. What were the max volts you ran through it?

Humm....1.82V for all 12 threads, and 1.94V for single threads IIRC

And vtt?

 

[MIAHALLEN]

Sitting at 1.4V 99% of the time...up to 1.5V attempted, but wouldn't boot that high....got down to 1.4V before I was able to get it stable...so that's where I had to leave it....very week uncore/IMC on this chip.

Took it back to the store yesterday, they've ordered me a new one, should get it next week.

Are you saying you RMA'd a chip you ran 1.4VTT and 1.8vcore through?
