2D on E6600 Tonight

[cold.nut]

i'll do some more testing on it before i chuck it! just to make sure !

hopefully your data survivied even if the chip died. would be a shame to lose a 19 point spi run

 

[cold.nut]

i'll submit that later tonight. it will be easy to hook it up to my gaming rig.. no worries on my boints! i just want my chip !

 

[cold.nut]

check that out. looks like when i let the pot warm up i got a little moisture in the socket. don't think that caused the damage though, it was obviously my stupidity leaving the rig unattended :

Never warm the pot up with a running system. Any ice that snuck in will melt and get things wet.

You may get lucky, dry that sucker out and try again.

i let it warm up without the power to the system. but today i did power up the system, unaware of the moisture in the socket.. so that was a scare!

You can leave a board insulated, but definitely pull the pot off before running a second time after a session.

Same thing really, any ice that melted will still be liquid, there isn't any airflow for it to evaporate into.

thanks guys! hopefully i can get the chip back up and going !

 

[cold.nut]

whats the best way of throwing the stock heatsink on with the insulation still in place, is it doable? i don't want to tear down the insulation, but i want to test the processor on air.

 

[Bobnova]

Pull the CPU out, dry the socket, put the CPU back, remount the pot, put a fan on it, and do it to it.

Giggity! Giggity!

Bout time you joined up the benching team, kid.

 

[cold.nut]

note on how not to insulate: i guess the eraser didn't do good enough! next time its going to get a layer of conformal! i sure am glad i didn't do ln2 this session, i can only imagine what it would have done!

What? Why?... Just plug the HDD to the rig you're using to make all these posts and pull the data from it...

Can't you pull the screenies off the hard drive with either a external enclosure on another PC to view the files? Or connect the hard drive to the PC and pull screens that way?

EDIT: Sebas ninja'd me

Yes

I've done that multiple times. Just put it in my daily system and pulled them off.

in the process of submitting them guys.. no worries on the submissions, i just wanted to get the system back up and going. Power Phase LED #'s 5 & 6 are red on the board. i know i had similar issues when the memory went bad, but i have a feeling it is the board or cpu this time.

Man, I hope not.
