The HDD was most likely a fluke. I've never seen a board kill an HDD unless there was a ground issue aka lightening strike.


Tightening up your uncore didn't kill your board/cpu/drive. Linpack put the nails in the coffin. I had one of my techs tell me that he wants to use linpack as a procedural test for replacement cpus. I told him to save the $ for every cpu that he runs it on so when it comes back failed, he can pay for it.

We are betatesters of a very new technology. We do not know what can do every thing to another.
For now, and if anything, i try not to put the uncore @ x17/3.600 in my new board when full load.
