    Fire & Smoke on the Foxconn...Ouch!

    i was sitting there at the bench table admiring my assembled hardware with this new foxconn...shaving my head (electric) in preparation for going to church...i had my glasses removed as the foxconn was rebooting.

    suddenly, out of the corner of my eye i see flames and then smoke shooting up from the board right behind the 1st 16X slot...i said, "YIKES"...i leaped up and yelled, "FIre, Fire" down the hallway to my wife!...she ran down the hallway with the extinguisher and blasted that baby into kingdom-come! ....kidding about the fire extinguisher...but i did yell yikes and fire

    i leaped up out of my chair and fought through the fire and smoke fumes to lunge at the PSU to get to the kill switch!!...i barely had enough breath left to switch off the PSU..shew!

    i said to myself...self!...why ME! ...i had NO mods on this board and i was not over volting...i finally knew WHAT i did...I UNDER VOLTED the darn MCH and Vcore temination voltage...i was just experimenting with the settings...that's it guys!...damn!...what a wake up call at 6:45 AM!

    here is the picture of the after affect...green arrow points at the mosfet that decided to give up the ship!
