Phew... that's dangerous. Every short circuit onboard (off-board too ;) ) can destroy components... you are very lucky it didn't.
Great results so far, my friend, anyways :thumbsup:

@stealth, it was the driver IC for my RAM IIRC. the sink was just resting on the board, i am very lucky man hehe :)
Your mobo was just chillin' :lol:Quote:

Yeah, the driver ICs got very hot on my board too, that's why I sinked them. :D
P.S. And yeah, 260 is impressive, especially when it's stable, cause most AXP boards/cpus just cannot do it. :thumbsup: (I mean with tight timings ;) ... not the 3.0-4-4-8 crap :lol: )
im thinking the fact that its a TW board is a plus, and im hoping that more Vdimm and Vdd will get me further, i still havent gone over 3.4vdimm hehe.
Yep. TW is best ;)
3.55V Vdimm is even better :D
i beg to differ... after about 3.45 i didnt see any improvement with BH-6...actually higher cause more errors for me.... :(Quote:

I would like to say, that I did the capacitors mod and it turned bad.
My mobo not working anymore.
I try resolder the capacitors, but no green power light, damn.
That's what I did:

...and there is even a slight history about what happen then... :( :( :(
I won't recommend the capacitor mod to anyone. It looks like it can help, but it just killed my mobo, seems... Hope only temporary... :( :stick:
Anything between the capacitors and the socket? Could be vibrations caused the pins on the back of the board to wear through the protective sheath on the outside of the caps and shorted stuff.
prolly better psu...im running a 18amp 12v rail Raidmax 420watt psu that came with my $60 case! i have the fans on a separate one though... i can get almost 2.8 outta that even :)Quote:

--------------------my latest news-----------------------------
Im building a custom phase-change from scratch to hit -50c load. SAE, better watch out! Im coming to get you! this will be a 24/7 setup too!!! I cant wait!!!
@stealth
:lol: Your sig makes me smile :D
I am going FX-55 soon, DFI NF4... so you will have your chance ;)
raidmax says it all.. dump it asap ;)
yeh...in about a month im going to really have a kickass system for me.Quote:

Ill have my -50c phasechange done, my stuff back in my case (finally), new psu. i cant wait. im hoping for atleast 3.2 after mods.
hoping
anyways what do you all think of this psu? i know its only 15amp but thats split between two rails so it really 30amp (if thats how it works?) and it looks really sweet with my case. good price,good wattage, great company...could i go wrong?
later
EDIT: oh and SAE, where did you get those copper sinks? i cant find a cheap all copper sink to chop up. i found one guy that had a 6800gt copper sink for $15 but he wouldnt sell it to me because i was going to "hack" it up! :stick:
For that setup i'd get something with a lot of guts to it.. Fortron are great, but that one doesnt look like its going to hold up to 3.2ghz ;)
could you gimme a reco for one? i really dont want to skimp on it because i will have it pretty much till it dies as of todays knowledgeQuote:

Running an OCZ 600w Powerstream myself
I'd say anything PCP&C, OCZ, or Zippy will be good. Large +12v rail (30 amps+) is good, be carefull on if its split or not though.
The OCZ 520 is not split 12v rails.
STEvil - no, backs of the capacitors are in absolutely perfect condition - no shortcut anywhere possible. :(
sucks.. something happened, would be nice to figure it out.
I got them here in Germany, in a computer shop ;) :p:Quote:
