Xtreme Addict Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Okay, my GD65 blew up (CPU mosfet) killing my 6.7 GHz SPI32m chip... MSI on the roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbuass Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I can not be complaining... I losed 2 x MSI X79 GD 65 (works one day and after 20 LN2 lts...first session working all right...it died and no more bench) Losed one Z68 GD80 that's killed my 5970 Mhz 2600K (priceless). Â But still got a place to Taiwan...so was good to me. Even I losed PCparts... Â Â Good lucky for all... looking forward for the 5 finalists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massman Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Are you guys taking notes on when/why stuff dies? Should be good info for MSI right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Okay, my GD65 blew up (CPU mosfet) killing my 6.7 GHz SPI32m chip... MSI on the roll Seems that killing highly-clocked CPUs is the main MSI LGA1155 motherboards' OC issue. Just like during previous year. 'Excellent' marketing promo though they usually tell @you guys did something wrong@ -) Â Are you guys taking notes on when/why stuff dies? Should be good info for MSI right?The most interesting thing is that HW dies without any noticeable reason, and water/condensate IS NOT a problem.Some told 10 months ago that they should totally re-design their DrMOS working algoritms but seems that everything remains untouched when comparing P67/Z68 and Z77 boards.

Xtreme Addict Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Massman it's magic  Xtreme Addict bad news... it was before when you want save screen on 6,7 ghz run?)  Yes, I only found 6.6 GHz crappy run saved... So officially I am out of MOA, no more Z77 board and good CPU even if I order new staff I doubt I will be able to test it before 14.06 I will only test today LGA2011 when my CPU arrives  @cyclone  I agree, even when Asus board has cpu power circuit failure, CPU is still alive, in MSI it equals = dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 @cyclone I agree, even when Asus board has cpu power circuit failure, CPU is still alive, in MSI it equals = dead Damn right! Dead DrMOS phase = dead or half-burned CPU in 95% cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme Addict Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I have too much bad luck and I am getting old, cause I am not extremely mad about it, in fact I was sure that I will lose this CPU in that board. It's only DrMOS, but MOA needs blood of innocent victims lol. With a bit of luck my result will let me win ticket so not too bad. The only positive thing is that new CPU seem to clock better and better than older batches so maybe I will find even a better one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aristidis Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 MSI is a killer board........ my Z68-gd80 when i have press start buton went into fire from mosfets and has killed my second 5750 sandy. I have killed also my good ivy after removing IHS and now that i have find another good ivy i'm afraid to play. A lot of burned hardware just for a ticket..........

cyclone Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 just for a ticket..........Not even for a ticket, just for a chance to play for a ticket And that is really sad. I suppose next time I'll take a tour to Taipei for the money that could be spent on contest hardware. Should be more than enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme Addict Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) Not even for a ticket, just for a chance to play for a ticket And that is really sad. I suppose next time I'll take a tour to Taipei for the money that could be spent on contest hardware. Should be more than enough. Â Some people like I in Poland hadn't had chance to participate in MOA earlier. The only normal MOA polish edition was in 2009, firstly there were online qualifications and 4 best participated in live event contest, I was third then in live event. Then in 2010 there wasn't MOA in Poland, in 2011 MSI Poland organised live event contest only for Team PCLab (G.Foyle and yotomeczek) and ryba (ASD crew). So this year I made up my mind and decided to buy all needed hardware and fight for finals. It's bad that we need so much hardware for it which is very fragile, and it would be nice if there were semifinals live but like I said, for me it was the only chance and I am very happy with 2012 MOA edition via HWBOT. Maybe next year MSI would develop this form, and make HWbot qualifications for live semifinals, it would give more fight, bigger show, more prices for participants Edited June 11, 2012 by Xtreme Addict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will 2x new Ivy 3770K before the end of MOA, but I won't be able to organise new Z77A-GD65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtreme Addict Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 3930K must be better  Few months ago I was binning 3930K C2, tested 10+, worst was 4.5 GHz, best 5.28 GHz and my first C1 was 5450 MHz. I don't have golden hand for CPUs. That's why I guess I will be binning 3770K to meet the dead one until Ivy-E will be released lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
