Well, here is the story. I was finishing up the install of my water cooler sytem by adding some hose clamps to the water block cause I couldn't sleep at night knowing it might leak even though I tested it for 3 days with no leaks. when I was putting the Dangerden holding clip back on I heard a snap!! OH SH_T !! I took a look to find that I snaped a lug. GREAT!! Anyway, I went ahead and made a rig to support the water block and while I was doing this I decided to take a look at my bird to see if there was any damage. All I saw was that I chiped two corners barely.I prayed that it wouldn't hurt the cores preformance. i put it all back together and turned it on and nothing, everything started, but no video, no beep, no smoke, no fire!! NO NOTHING!! So I decided to see what the motherboard did without the cpu in it to see if it would do the same thing. And it did exactly, looks as if the MB doesn't even see the cpu. So, i figured that in my rush for the perfect water system to get this bird stable at 1100 mhz+ (was stable at 1050 with 1.85v @49 with air cooler) I think I killed my cpu. Mainly i guess i'm just looking for comfermation that the bird is dead cause I'm still in denile. If I did then oh well, during the overclocking experence i guess you have to kill something. Anyway, i guess i'll get another bird or a duron, I wonder if there is that much difference to justify the price. Anyway, someone please make me feel alittle better from my experence and give any suggestions about anything to ge me overclocking again. Can't live without that bug.
