Geez! Sorry for your loss, Pedro! :( :( What's up with DFI lately? Are the caps bad? Possibly the 4v? I think a poll should be posted to see how many people have gotten such luck. I'll go do that now...

@ Pedro, what revision board do you have?
I have a Venice 3000+ I'm saving for this board.:chicken:
Wake up DFI.......You have to announce something either warning or solutions.....Let us know are these sotware/hardware failure or user error....

I have an excellent 146 in my Expert ATM and am getting nervours :confused:
I was going to plonk my beautiful X2 in this board but maybe not now as none of the newer steppings come even close if it gets fried :(
I want an explanation from DFI :stick:
The price of glory is sometimes higher than anticipated.

just working normaly, reboot, no work, 3 leds.
get cpu out, get cpu in again, boot, ok,
enter the bios, load normal config we have used before, reboot to safe bios configs, puff, no more cpu, this is not normal, cpu fisicaly is perfect, but didnt work, shut down all boards 1s after turn on
that 0530 with cold bug only near -100 was to mutch precious to die.....
Sorry to hear, Pedro.
Too bad DFI :slapass:
I think you guys should stay away from DFI for a while, and wait for their SLIX16 MB.
i don't think that you right.Quote:

i can tell you that my expert work super fine.
Sorry to hear about that pedro,
My expert is working fine. 1.65 vcore primed for 12 hours + running 24/7. Not only are the voltages pretty precise but my cpu is not dead.
After the whole Ultra cold boot/Ram death fiasco, nothing surprises me now.
No matter how many deaths there are, DFI wont admit the problem, users that dont experience it call everyone else a noob
There is an obdvious conflict with both RDX/Expert boards and
hopefully newer revisions of the board might finally fix the power design
they both share.
Heh, the problem for DFI is that known OCers are experiencing deaths.Quote:

So before it was the memory - now it is the memory controler :cool:Quote:
