I blew a f-cking CAP!!!

**KoHaN69** · 10-12-2006 03:05 PM

OMFGZ!! I was about to do 3.1ghz on my opty146 on air, set settings in bios, restarted... wouldnt start, turn on then off, i unplug, remove bat, do it again, i hear sometihn wierd... then its off, i try again, and pff, crushihchichizhi _ I quickly unplug pc to prevent fire/damage to the rest of the rig.

I now proclaim myself

congrats

now replace that cap and push that chip!

im not sure if its the cap or the mosfets.

its ok, i got a backup board, will probly rma this one

where's the "this thread is useless without pics!" smiley when you need it?

I'll go out on a limb here and say.. DFI mobo?

It's alive!! It's alive!! my 2.96ghz @1.482v sp2004 7+ hours stable baby is alive!!

I'm doing blend sp2004 testing to check for damage, anything else you guys suggest?

I am running on my second dfi board, i don't want to power this one again

There's not much to see, I smelled what's going on and unplugged it just in time before the thing blew a hole in the board.

The one with R60 - I guess that's a mosfet, not a cap? Bah, need to study more electronics than just overclockics

neither actually.. an inductor

Thank you. It's the one that inducts - right?

I thought it's the cap, because the smoke and sparks seemed to be coming from it, but in the 0.3 seconds I didn't take a close look from where it was exactly coming from.

and Nicks- Where is my limb?! I want it shipped in ice, fedex overnight!!

....just kidding, it was a DFI

( I still wouldn't mind your limb though)
Are they known for faulty caps?

**NickS** · 10-12-2006 04:51 PM

No, but they're known for faulty everything lol

Your board must be borked or something. I've done 3.2Ghz @ 1.7v in my MSI and had no problem... air. Opty 148. I have same inductors too, R60.

**KoHaN69** · 10-12-2006 04:58 PM

or maybe it was the 20watt fan i plugged in the mobo....

**NickS** · 10-12-2006 05:09 PM

LOL I doubt it'd do anything to CPU PWM but I'm suprised it didnt blow a trace!

Wow you managed to blow a inductor thats pretty extreme.

**nn_step** · 10-12-2006 05:26 PM

I wonder what crazy

you did to do that. Because that has to be a one in a million thing

YARLY!

it's not like they're really hot too.. just a passive element

1.776v on the cpu

**NickS** · 10-12-2006 06:15 PM

I know people that have done ~2.0v on ttheir CPU's with that board lol.

**WeStSiDePLaYa** · 10-12-2006 07:20 PM

you must not have been cooling it properly, as there is pretty much nothing to fail on an inductor.

it is only a piece of wire wrapped around a core, often ferrite, to create a magnetic field(inductance).

the only possible explanation is that you let it get too hot, the metal wire expanded and cracked the ceramic casing.

actually, thats pretty much the only thing it could be, because if you destroyed the inductor the board wouldnt work.

**~~Serge84~~** · 10-12-2006 07:38 PM

Thats what I wonder... because wow not much on one of those things that can fail atleast its only damaged. Thats a pretty hard thing to do...

Maybe a short. That's why it is all boxed up. It can't be fully boxed up as it does need to keep cool.

**KoHaN69** · 10-12-2006 07:45 PM

Well, my case door is off and i have airflow from a HR-01 tight next to it
