El Gappo Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) And I would of gotten away with it too, if it weren't for that meddling Belgium. Nice work Iron Edited August 30, 2011 by El Gappo Quote
|ron Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Tnx gappo, waiting for your final fireworks there! Tonight I'll be benching again, yeasterday evening I left much juice inside that cpu, hope to improve, especially in Vantage and (lol) pcmark Quote
El Gappo Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 The only fireworks coming from me right now are from my hardware, had about 2 minutes on Ln2 at the settings and I've been running all week on phase, pffft dead cpu. Massive waste of money that was. No signs of wet anywhere, really don't know what's gone on. Quote
|ron Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Same to me yesterday evening, burned choke, no signs of condensation on mosfets or chokes. Had the mobo rmaed today, fortunately, so that I could bench even tonight. Don't know if it's related or not, but the mobo died a few minutes after I raised PLL to 2,6v... who knows... I'm sorry you can't reply :\ Quote
El Gappo Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Got it running in the biostar, it's the board Doubt I can get a new one in the morning. Quote
|ron Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Ok, this mobo (ud4h) has some flaw in electric design. I put@ln2 this cpu on the asus mobo for many times, hours and hours non-stop, no probs at all. 2 days ago, after days of testing at air with the UD4H, I put it@ln2 and after 2/3hours, puff, mosfet gone. Had it rmaed yesterday, so I improved insulation (even if it wasn't necessary) and I tried to lower the voltages... after 2 hours, mosfet gone. The same happened to Gappo, after a few hours at ln2. This mobos, I repeat, are not suitable for ln2, unless they put some OCP circuit really functioning... cpu pll was at default, fch default, ram 1,8v cpu 1,53, gpu 1,28... no condense, no extreme voltages. 2 rmas in 2 days for a 125euros mobo, isn't something you accept with a smile on the face. The competition is great, really funny and interesting, but I must say even the not so good points Quote
El Gappo Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) That sucks man Think it's the cold that kills it. Has the fet actually blown or have you just lost power like I did? Mine worked after baking, but not for 3d. Edited August 31, 2011 by El Gappo Quote
|ron Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 The mosfet blew up with smoke coming from under the heatsink... same for the first mobo, another mosfet near to the last one, where there's no condensation at all! Anyway, thanks to all for the competition, very interesting to study and learn about this platform, to beat someone scores and to be beaten by other scores from other users! Even counting the bad days with the mobos, it's still a positive experience! Congratz to all the clockers involved, see you in the next battlefield Quote

|ron Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 The prize arrived today! In the next few days I'll try it on ubuntu, hoping for a decent support for that hardware, maybe in the 11.10 release. Thank Giga and hwbot for hosting the comp! Quote
