Man you got to quit that logical crap...
...because logic is the bane of hit and hit it harder. To make decisions based on logic means you have to both understand and do with thought and precision. Crap. Hehehe.
Surely the fact that a lot of earlier AMD cpus had IMC issues from trying to run DDR1600 on a weak memory controller with older style high voltage DDR 1600 ram which needed high ram voltage and having problems getting to DDR 1600 and some IMC failures meant that running DDR 1600 could kill your IMC. Right? Oh. I see.
And man this is just freeken far out there when you write:
Alot of folks may disagree, but Prime can be pretty risky if you run it for hours on end (especially on FX chips).
Alot of (economy/mid range) boards can't handle the stress that Prime puts on the other components. The power section in particular can die during a prolonged Prime run...= You specify when, what and how of your statement and we don't write like that in a forum. Forums are for saying anything man. Don't hit me with a bunch of logical stuff.
I think Asus has moved to an over current protected VRM section on even a goodly number of their entry level boards of the 990 chipset type, just for the reasons you state about current draw for extended periods of time, with FX-series processors. Probably a good move on Asus' part.
Good post man. Thank you for an idea with good thought behind it before pushing down on any keboard keys.
RGone...ster.
