Man...

That looks to me like ~$1700 just went down the drain
I hope I will swallow that the day FX-57 comes out, but I think it won't be cascade benchers first choice anymore
I'm telling you Kevin, there must be a way to get it to work... Like with my Winnie @ -47C evap. It will NOT boot WHATSOEVER at this temperature.
I always turn on the cooler and start my system. System does not boot but I let it running, to get hot. Then I turn off the cooler and wait until temp goes -10C on evap. Then I RESET and system boots to Windows. Once I'm there, I turn on the cooler and see how temperature drops to -44C on evap and -23C on CPU. I can do whatever I want at that point.
Problem is, that in 9 out of 10 cases, when I Restart the system it will not boot up again... BUT! Sometimes it does, when just before I RESTART it, I run just some of "Memtest for Windows" or "Prime95" to get it under load. Then I quickly restart it and it boots
Try those tricks if you haven't already. Or try to boot at different multis (like me, I can boot @ x10 but not @ x9... It freezes in Windows when I do that). Also, try to boot with divider on your memory...
Whatever it takes, Kevin
