| Hi HOLST, At the time, all settings were default as I always clear cmos before adding anything new...this happened when I checked my unlock and switched ram from OCZ to Samsung....I had a bad seat on vapochill core..checked temps on boot and they were fine, but then they shot thru the roof all of a sudden and I caught it too late. Can't test anything until new board arrives...worried about hard drives..2 100gb WD.. I know it doesn't take a lot to kill em...static, etc...also the new tbred ....this is getting expensive. Hoping they are all ok.

| Most times when this happens the cpu is the only thing that goes. I am not saying that the mobo did not go too, Just not usually. I do not do water cooling so I am not up to date on this. I do extreme air cooling, and think I will stay with that. Man it is a shame that this has happened to ya. I had a hs/fan pop off a new system I built. Naturally it was during first boot up of this system. The cpu lasted about 3 seconds after the hs came loose. !@?@#$ Guess this just happens.

| Hi Dude, had a similar "smoko" lately - my XP 1700 smoked away. One of those resistors on the backside of the chip nearly melt the copper die (the cpu die was absolutely ok- no heat death). The mobo was ok - whata wonder but the first HD was trash too. As a precaution I swapped the psu as it was undersized(300W) anyway. I am a bit worried about AMD quality on the decline?! ![]() Here 2 scans:<br> http://home.t-online.de/home/cybersu.../XP1700mag.jpg <br> http://home.t-online.de/home/cybersu...XP1700back.jpg

| I can't blame AMD for mine..entirely my fault. I think AMD quality is actually better than ever. Remember..we are pushing this gear way beyond specs....occasional damage is just part of the game. Mine was caused by carelessness. Just the fact that you can push an 1800mhz chip to 2200+mhz with FSBs exceeding 200 ..speaks for the quality of all of the components. You simply will not get that from low quality hardware. What were you running at when it happened..big Overclock?..highvolts? cooling? If it was stock and good cooling then ,,yeah..I would be upset and seek hardware replacement.

| Hell Iolao....I did....guess you can too! I asked permission but never got a reply. A friend sent it to me in an email. I don't know where he got it. They nick named me that at work...so I started using it in forums.
