Press down on the BIOS chip.

This picture belongs in this thread also. Going to be many more pictures in the near future. I have 4 more boards coming in shipments from all over the country. I'm going to keep the Expert, the SLI-DR, and 1 Ultra-D.....plus my dead one for parts. I'll have 2 Ultra-Ds for sale if they both work.

that looks purdy

Put the chipset first and now she's idling @ 25C w/ stock voltage. I bet it doesn't break 30C with 1.96v now.

.............and the GPU is still too cold @ 14C right now I better crank some voltages..

IIRC the DFI boards were the only ones cable of running even tighter than CAS2. (1, 1.5)

Don't know why the board would matter since it is an IMC... but that is what I recall.

I went to get some coffee(10 minutes) and when I got back the screen was black and the system was still running.

I couldn't get it to POST again. Couldn't get anything(no LEDS), so I reset cmos, removed battery, unplugged and held button in awhile to drain.........and when I tried again I got the 4LEDS. Now I get either the 4LEDS and cant even power off, or nothing at all. Mostly nothing at all, but once in awhile it powers.

I wonder what happened?

Dude, you've killed more hardware in a week, than I have in the last 5 years.

our friends here are still learning..what is safe and what kills ...and hopefully they catch up of whats called...degradation ..lol

I can see that maybe I killed the chip, although I don't see why 1.8v ended it's life so suddenly. And this board seemed to just die, it was weird. (that Ultra was more than a week ago

) Anyways I've tried swapping out each and every component so must be this one is dead....the others were a dead cpu yet undiscovered.

I thought degradation was like an over time kinda thing, not so much all of a sudden?

degradation ...can be quick or slow...and eventually kill a cpu.
