And... board #3 down the pan... I was going to check with the multimeter, but before that I did one last "dry run"... Big mistake...
It will no longer POST. It stops on the CPU led, and doesn't follow through. I've checked the CPU and is fine on a different board (phew!). If I lose this 980X I'd be pretty miffed...
This time there's no chipping on the NB or any other discernible faults, but still dead as a dodo...
I have one last R3Gene (the first one that died I actually managed to process an RMA due to the fact that ASUS is one of our suppliers and the rep was feeling kind that day), gonna think very very carefully what my next step is... If the air flow wouldn't be so poor in the area I would just leave it stock and don't look back...
EDIT: I've taken some pics of the dead board just in case they reveal anything I've missed or there are any differences... Apologies for the bad quality of the pics, photography is not really one of my strengths
