mobo oc doesn't get points. it would be nice to get points for it though.

So the general consensus says that the mobo must be cold bugged. Correct?

I think I'll try setting up in the garage today where it's not quite so cold. I hated seeing my new baby running @ 40+C last night. :scared:

EDIT: I got smart for minute.............I set the board and PSU up inside a 6" deep clear rubbermaid container, so I can move it around more easily when it bugs out again. I may use the heatgun if necessary.

Fun stuff going on there ny. Keep it up.

You bet, brother. :D

Update guys: I don't think it was the board. I put a coffee cup warmer under the HD, which keeps in up ~22C....thing ran great!!!....I was out there about an hour or so KILLING superpi(25.2sec), I can't wait to submit that score. :cool3:

Then I went for max overclock again @ 1.63v and was astounded at the difference a nice cold NY day can make. I'm going to validate 3.6GHz before the day is done. :taunt:

pics :P

They're coming I had to brag first. :blush: here's a picture for ya.

Glad you got it sorted :)

New problem with the board. When I increased the vcore to 126% and saved and went to boot up it just shut down. Now it powers for a split second when I push the button and shuts right back off.

What does this mean? I guess the board could be CB even though I think the HD was the problem before. I'm freezing the cpu socket now.

Help please.

Either the board is crapping out or the psu went to shit the bed. Keep tinkering till you find out which one...
