Thuban delidded

[chew*]

well its obvious to me you have no idea what you are doing

Quite true if horse is dead get off and walk, no sense beating a dead horse err cpu....i highly doubt it will work any better now than it did prior to beating it.

[richierich]

love the money shot!!

[BeepBeep2]

I'm not confused. I hit it with the ban hammer 10 times for dying on me.

What you see is what was left after 10 blows with a 10lb hammer.

LOL

[Sparky]

So why is it more fragile than say an older 939 core? Like my Opteron 165 that I delidded? Which still runs fine BTW and I cranked down the heatsink on it good and tight, no issues, same with the guy who owns it now, never even chipped a corner

oh well some people don't appreciate what you do. thanks for killing the rest of your thuban/deneb's good luck with your clocking i wish i could join you like old times

it's even more fragile than deneb so knowing the only real change amd made was a low k dielectic.....I would say that it has something to do with that process.

[Serpentarius]

i see so that's how the cpu looks like ... thx for sharing chew ... never had a chance to see it upclose

[Mad222]

OMG...
What have you done, Chew*? A real CPU dissection!
This decent chip just brutally dismembered like this ?!
O..man. 1015 DPAW has become extinct

[crazydiamond]

O..man. 1015 DPAW has become extinct

just endangered

[Mad222]

Hey, Bro..that's a nice one
The number 313 in Chinese means "vivid & Healthy"

just endangered

[FatAlbert]

I see imc on the photos chew

[PatRaceTin]

hmmmmmmmmmmm good!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tomasis]

thats beautiful photo.. seems unreal..

It sucked anyway, only good for wprime, and needed retarded amount of volts for it.

I lost my best 965BE to it as well.

My giga boards are whats extinct. I will wait for next rev boards,2.0 still has issues or at least mine did.

[Smartidiot89]

Love your pics Chew* !

I just recieved a 1015DPAW from AMD the other day, should I consider myself happy or is it just some lucky batch of yours?

[Mad222]

WTH.....965be is gone too, damn!
Problem with the power supply of ver. 2.0 ....it seems
While running wPrime in high volt, the board shuts down. It happens to both UD7 & UD5. The UD5 gave me 88 & C1 ...dead meat afterwards

Hope that problem resolved on next ver. 2.1

I envy you guys....able to get supports from AMD
We get nothing from them here in HK. We need to buy them on our own

I thought the issue was OCP but it appears it is not.

Let me explain what happened to my board.

I benched my board fine in 32m and 1m.

Then we took the board and put a diff chip in. It was going fine. Then all of a sudden it just powered down. This was also during a session of 1m/32m which should not stress board much at all and we had cores disabled. Board is waterproof so it's not condensation.

After that one freak power down i broke it down. Board was never reliable since then. Upon inspection of mosfets there were no blow out so i suspect somewhere in the power deliver to fets is where it blew.

I can hear it click when i press power button by 8 pin connector but nobody is home.

Actually those guys are lucky, me i have to work for any support i get. I don't get paid to do 2 weeks prep for an event + the event......but i do get to keep a few cpus.

When i say 2 weeks i literally means straight working with little to no sleep. I literally slept walked/benched through black ops on maybe 30 hours of sleep in 2 weeks.

[Mad222]

OCP was my 1st thought too
I had the same waterproof grease from TW you have... I believe
Exactly the same situation here...actually, 2 UD5 died....one was dead for no reason under cold & another one died with some parts burned but I was unable to find the exact location...somewhere around the mosfets

Nothing happened when running PI32m/1m on mine. But for wPrime 1024m, it just powers down like hell. Eventually, I freese the whole Northbridge HS & barely complete a wPrime run

As part-time overclockers, we did our best to participate in this contest & that's the spirit, Chew !

Is your board clicking near 8 pin when you try to power it on still?

I have a 890GX here that is dead on air, similar issues but reboot loops.

Tbh i only joined comp to change the game madd. Tired of seeing backed by manufacturer guys win hardware. I planned to give whatever i won to a guy further down list that can provide a reciept for there board and cpu. In my opinion the winners of hardware should be those that paid for all of there hardware.

You need to paint your boards madd. That grease is not 100% reliable. Let me take a pic of mine.

[Mad222]

Yes....near the 8 pin !
890GX ?! Oh...tell me about it. I had mine dead too

Good for you...I think it's right to do

I'm going to take a few days off next week & staying with my kids !

This is purely for review-purposes and the like, I am sure I would get nothing if it was for overclockning

[Mad222]

Hey, if it's for review purposes, nothing to concern with its' batch or oc performance then

Needs to be tortured just a little after a thorough review lol

[chew*]

here's the stuff i use and pics of PWM, as you can see no mosfets blew out and condensation can not effect anything on my boards.....they are just sealed from elements.

Only things I leave exposed are tops mosfets and nb/sb die....





A shot from a better angle to show how well everything is coated.

[Daveburt714]

Is it just me, or does that cap right above the 8pin connector (pic #2)
look like it's bulging?

Could just be the pic I guess...
