Yup all of a sudden this morning....
My Prometia made a couple of very odd sounding clicks last night over the course of 3 hours or so coming form the unit itself. I had my eye on everything - temps, voltages, the lot as it was pretty out of the ordinary. Anyway, nothing changed, everything stayed the same temp, voltages were happy.
Anyway, turned on this morning, straight to my boot up temp of -41c no problem as usual. Bam, blue screen loading windows. Hmm thinks I. Reboot to see if it was a one off, same thing (PFN_LIST_CORRUPT if anyones wondering). Back to default speeds, no problems. Clocked back up in small bursts and im now maxed out at 3440mhz give or take at higher voltage and MUCH higher temps. Was previously @ 3854mhz burning in for a pifast run (for over a week now but I WILL get DJ down ;)) using 1.73v actual with temps of -4c under load and -21c idle (maxed temp sensor). Well, im now at 3440mhz using 1.58v actual with load temps of -6c! Previously I was getting around -16c load at this speed and voltage. What in the blue hell has happened?
Ive checked over everything and visually its all running as it was before, making the same noises. No hissing of leaking refrigerant, no nasty kinks in the pipe. Hovered all the dust out the radiator, checked all the insulation and my hermetic cell - everythings as I left it.
I must confess I dont know a huge amount about vapor phase, so Im hoping one of you chaps can give me a hand here :).
Thx guys,
