Oh I just don't believe it. I just refuse to believe it.
Looks like my second IX38 just crapped out just like the first one. Ran 1 week folding, just stopped the program and all of a sudden got these buzzing sounds again
And sure enough, µguru showa 100A in idle (!) and 162A under load just like it did last time. Unstable Vcore, too. I feel like history repeating itself
Wasn't even on high voltages (1,33V CPU 1,4V MCH and so on) and the mobo is watercooled, after all. So wtf - can't this thing take even a week of continuous load? Have I had enough bad luck to get two boards from the same bad charge?
What else could it be? Maybe the PSU, but why now... I've had my Liberty 500 for over a year now and it ran fine with the old QuadGT.
I think the board is to blame.
