i think my a7n8x is dying on me.

was running 12.5x200 prime
210 failed
raised vdimm with the mod to 3.3 (had it up to 3.6 before without any probs)
still cant get 210fsb
raised vdd with the mod to 1.9 from 1.7 (had it up to 2.2v without any problems)

system crashes. then i couldnt even boot at 200fsb 0_o

lowered fsb to 180 and booted to windows, used setfsb to raise the fsb to 200, system froze.

now i could boot up to 220 but as soon as i got to windows it crashed, even at 180!

thougt maybe the memory was dying so i set it to 50% memory speed 200fsb (100mhz memory)

booted fine, raised fsb to 210 with setfsb -> crash

i will try a diferent bios, so long, any idear what else could be the problem?

ok, set the fsb to 50% of memory speed and booted into windows with 200mhz memory 100fsb. set the fsb to 110 (memory 220) and the system froze... WTH???

could it be the memory giving me weird bugs prime doesnt report? i will try memtest... hmmm damn how did i kill this khx? i only tried 3.8v for 1 minute and 3.6v for 30min and that was a couple of months ago... it was running great after that :confused:

Slowly dying CPU? Maybe overheating or a hot spot on the core?

its absolutely cool... watercooled at 37°C under load MAX ... i used diferent multis as well... actually i only tried the 10x multi... hmmm do a7n8 boards have probs with the 10x multi as well?

priming at 12.5x200 again... looking good... gonna try 9x2xx fsb and see if it works.
