TurboV killed my CPU on RE3

Thanks for the information!

this crap never happened in the old days... this is why most of us old school OC'ers do everything in the bios... it may be more time consuming... but I think loosing a CPU is a much bigger waste of time

lol, then there is even further back in time when we used jumpers... do you kids these day even know what a jumper is? before too long we wont even have jumpers for the bios... it will be all buttons :rofl:

Had the exact same thing on my R2E. Luckily under water, I think it came through ok. I wanted to use the software to lower voltages while in windows to see what worked. Just trying to save time. Not anymore.

for sure I have never used TurboV, and only Easytune a few times on the UD3P/UD3R. On the Gigabyte boards it would just freeze the system every time I would apply any change (i.e. voltage decrease or increase, FSB increase or decrease)

sucks to here especially since it was a good batch:(

Unluckily, TurboEvo was the first program which for my convenience I used to use. Now I'm permanently back to BIOS.

Asustek, it's time to hire better developers! :mad:

Jumpers and DIP switches weren't idiot proof either, I learnt the concept of overclocking from them :D I set the jumpers to 66MHz FSB instead of 60MHz et voila! - my Pentium 120 was suddenly a Pentium 133 :ROTF:

damn interesting problem
