Thanks for the input Dumo. I will reboot after each bench as suggested in the future. The other thing I did not do is turn HT off and set to 2cores. I was benching 4C/8T HT On when the chip died. Yes, the Board would turn on and light up then shut off and then would come back on and stay on stuck on 79 post code (CXM Initialization) but would not post or show anything on monitor. Did that on both rigs so it was definitely dead.

Now back to trying to find another good clocker
