wow, that sucks, due to condensation maybe?

Bah, what a pity... At least your 5.6GHz 3D benchable chip is fine...
aww man.... i feel your pain... i've killed loads of hardware, one of my skt939 setups actually caught fire, i was devestated at the time...
its the worst feeling... but thats why we get so excited about the new hardware we buy..
because we just dont know if its gonna be good, bad or excellent...
now someone send that man a new cpu/mb/gpu...
Checked both thoroughly, no condensation.
Nothing looking burnt or smelling like it :D
The Radeon will power on now but will stop outputting anything after 15 secs or so.
The Classified will F3-F6-F3-F8-b8 power down in an endless loop.
The weirdest thing is that I left the NB without any cooling, just touching it with my hand, and it won't heat up at all, even after 30s of "operation".
well, strange things , sorry to hear that.
about the classified i cannot say anything clever but the fact that the nb doesnt heat up is strange
about the radeon it should have been a sign to you as it did 1355mhz am3 earlier and the last session only 1200mhz.
she get exhausted..
congrats for 401k aquamark, i saw it on live :D
sorry to hear that classi and 5870 are dead :(
Well this is why its fun lol shame about the dead stuff:( Still nice aq3 score:up:
Card was "underperforming" before the accidental 1.9Vgpu ( and that was only for a few secs :p: ).
The last session ( on dice ) lasted 1 hour or so, 1.67Vgpu 1355MHz Aq3 / 1300 vantage, so I doubt it was degradation.
Now I need to find somebody to clean them before I RMA them :D Anyone interested ? :D
Due to popular request ( :D ) here's the playlist from that session:

Got some new stuff in today, but I have to go to the an electronics store to buy some plastic spray because I don't have any and I need to insulate the new mobos & VGAs.
Gonna make sure everything will be setup nicely and keep rolling this time.
You should really consider using kneedable eraser man. I use it all the time and 8 hours+ benching sessions at -196 or with cascade at -100 are not a problem at all. With just eraser and a sheet of armaflex, no paper towel bullcrap needed. It basically does the same as plastic spray, except for the part where it's permanent:p: This stuff comes right off without leaving any trace, meaning you could still send it back in case of death. Just a friendly tip;)
