    I know but I only had 1.29 vtt under load when it died. Kinda hope its my CPU haha. I like pushing voltages and this is the first time I've actually killed something from too many volts that I can think of. Been OC'ing for long time. But you know, you spend $300 on a enthusiasts board you kinda expect the board would put up with it. Still got my old low end P4 MSI pushing way more then 24/7 safe volts since 2003 and its still going!

    The PSU is fine, already tested it

    Really wish I had some friends close by that I could test my CPU or something. I really deserve like a war medal for pushing things haha

    As stated above, the 88 code can appear with a good CPU too. Probably it is your CPU, but it could be your MB too. I would check the PSU too.

    Keep as informed, then this can be a really interesting investigation on the long term effect of too much VVT for 24/7 use .

    i had 2 boards with code 88. never had used high voltages or something(well within intel spec)...
    1st board just did nothing 1day. the other some sort of resistor or something else burned near the NB(after a month). 3rd board my dimmslots(3of6) just died on me(after few days).
    replaced psu,vid-card, tested cpu in another pc.
    dfi doesn't like me .
    Now waiting for another vid(4850x2) to arrive and i'll try my 4th board lol.
