    Just an Update....

    It apperars that the Mobo did in fact die, I swapped out the CPU for a 9850 last night, that didn't fix the problem, so tonight I tore the machine apart and ran it bare bones on a different PSU with the same results...

    Titan7171: Your right I can't really blame MSI for my problems. By modding that file I was operating the board outside of it's specs. It actually is a very nice board and I was quite happy with the results before I got a little carried away and killed it...

    That being said though, AMD has stated that 1.55v is the max Vcore limit for Phenom and even though the board overvolts a little (which I was aware of) I was pretty sure the CPU could handle it (it was 1.565 according to CPU-Z).

    I've been using MSI products for the last 5+ years and have been very happy with them, in fact you could probably call me an MSI fanboy, but as PARTICLE said they seem to have cheaped out on the PWM sections of their boards with the Phenom variants... The K9A2 and the DKA79GX both perform VERY well but seem to fail when you push too hard at overclocking. Unlike the K8N Neo2 which was a beast!!

    I'm NOT a big fan of Asus, but the M3A79-T, with it's 8 +2 PWM section is looking like it may be my replacement....

    Forum chat on the HTPC kinda sucks.

    The MSI DKA790GX Plat IS a nice board, and it will OC quite well, but you just have to be a little too gentle with it for my tastes... Especially if your like me and you like to OC with beer!!
