    still showing same on Maxpower as previous.. cant imagine what has been causing all of the different readings from one manufacturer to the next.. though same CPU needs different vcore and SVID in different branded mobo too.. so, go figure.

    ASRock Z87 Comes With Waterproof Conformal Coating?

    Ohh.. I just threw up in my mouth a bit, lookin at that photo. Thankfully, its dry enough where I live to bench with no real prep and minimal coverage of anything really. Vas in the RAM and PCI-E is a must for going cold on everything, still.. but the amount of vas in that pic is insanity. I dont want to ever live/bench somewhere where the amount of humidity is high enough to warrant that..

    *snip* fact of the matter is that I have never had an MSI board burn out like that. Even though I've had condensation on the PWM more than once. I never use vaseline, though, just paper towel.

     

    First board that burns out like that for you?

     

    You may onto something there MM.. I would tend to agree that MSI PWM seem 'allergic' to a good slathering of Vas. I dont use it for anything other than mem and PCI-E slots on them now.

     

    *only MSI i have lost was due to moisture.. and had vas on the PWM.. Since then, I run 'dry' with only minor bit of frost king around the socket and towels... been through +6hr sessions with +40% humidity, with more MSI boards than I can count and not had another issue since..

    @ l0ud - You try Tertiary first.. then setting secondaries? I was able to get them dialed down for some of the runs I did previously.. had to set them first though, and tighten secondaries down after...kinda funny, but it worked. Must be training issue with tertiary detection/settings. What BIOS you on now?

    Every one can see the leak is a secondary action. I singled out no one in my comments, nor have I placed any blame. I have nothing to hide *pun*. @ MM - I'm certain your phone calls had nothing to do with me..who am I that MSI would be contacting you..on ..what, my behalf, influence, suggestion? Its a flattering idea..surely you jest. I think there was more 'speaking for others' than there were any direct discussions. I replied via email to an initial 'wtf!?' I found in my inbox.. but things have been quiet since. I was just being an ass in my posts because I was still a bit sour over it.. or the 'principle' or being ratted out by fellow members of the community - intentional or not. Piss on my boots then apologize..dont worry, I'll still let you but me a beer some time.

     

    *so.. how bout that 32mil?

    Any add banners get pulled or you guys just focusing on ripping apart the only big manufacturer that doesn't pay for a banner at this point? ..some edits flying around already after the phone calls..

     

    *the shenanigans never cease to amaze me.

    After editing I only have a few seconds of usable video.. too much to clip out..maybe enough for a rough mash-up.. with an audio overlay..but who has time for that? :P

     

     

    *and to the Intel birds that got spooked... That is bassplayers Z77 UD4.. not a Z87 that is pic'd and frozen.. though if you would like to send me some to test.... along with a nice IMC ;)
