    Unhappy First 8rda+ Vdd mod casualty... *revived*!

    My 8rda+ went up in flames at 1.94v Vdd today... The chip right next to the chipset voltage regulator (1cm to the left) catched fire (no kidding, it was glowing as bright as a LED).

    I was going to overclock, so i slowly turned my pot.
    mbm5 reported 2.04v, so i turn it back and it said 1.94v, i was aiming for 1.90v, so i turned it a little lower but windows froze.

    Rebooting didn't help (motherboard turn itself of immediatly) so I unplugged the grounding of the mod (i didn't solder it on pin 4, but connected it to a fan connector grounding). Rebooted again and the chip right next started to glow... f*ck.

    It killed my vidcard as well!!!!! I've yet have to test my friggin' expensive ram (2* Corsair XMS 3200) and CPU (XP2400+). I hope they still work...

    By the way, my northbridge was watercooled.

    Damnit. :'(
