I think I bricked my DFI LP UT Ultra-D

[ny_driver]

I think I must have reinstalled the chipset HS so that it shorted something out.......is the only thing that makes any sense to me. I took everything apart and let it sit overnight to no avail.

Any suggestions? :keeporder:.........currently hunting for another board that I cannot afford.

[DrNip]

What are the symptoms? Does it even power on, does power on but only posts to a certain point or what?

[ny_driver]

All I get is the standby LED. No POST at all...no beeps or anything.

EDIT: and I'm sure the chipset cooler is on there evenly now.

[Hondacity]

you can remove the motherboard heatsinks and just check if it can post...

[ny_driver]

Just as dead with no HS on the chipset..........ohh well it's not as bad as bringing home a wrecked snowmobile.

The guy I got it from suggested baking it at 350 for 15 minutes.....isn't that what you do with a GPU?

[DrNip]

Have reset the CMOS as well as pulled the battery and let it sit for awhile without the battery in?

[Hondacity]

350F ...thats where some solder melts..lmao..he's an idiot.....when i say melt...components will fall off.

Common solder alloys are mixtures of tin and lead, respectively:


63/37: melts at 183 °C (361 °F) (eutectic: the only mixture that melts at a point, instead of over a range)
60/40: melts between 183–190 °C (361–374 °F)
50/50: melts between 185–215 °C (365–419 °F)

Yup I let it sit all night but you know what I haven't tried and am going to right now is another cpu. BRB.

And I didn't follow his advice....I figured I should ask first.


EDIT: not the cpu.

[Mr.Scott]

What do the 4 red LED's stop on?

[GFDuke]

So does that mean you wont get to bench that FX55? bummer.

Mr. Scott Has your team inherited the Pure logo for your bot sig? looool

[ny_driver]

Well, unless a new BIOS chip helps this one out.....I won't be benching it on this board. I have another board(tyan tomcat nf4 ultra), but it will only give up 1.57v
Does anyone think I could have just FUBARRED the BIOS on the Ultra-D or would that be just a pipe dream?

I am on the hunt for a replacement Ultra-D or something that will provide me with adequate vcore and vdimm. I know a guy who has 2 of them and was going to sell me one awhile ago, just haven't heard back from him yet.

[Mr.Scott]

Check your pm's. It's a borked bios chip.

@ Duke- PURE?.......hardly. lol
We would hook up with you guys first. Or at least, I would.:)

[GFDuke]

LMAO was joking bro.

[Mr.Scott]

I know man, but I was serious. If anything were to happen to CP, I'd be here in a second if you'd have me.

[GFDuke]

Of course we would.
