Massman Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 All brands have issues, Some get heavy fire on the web, Usually from those with bad intend, but Sometimes no one speaks a word, and CPUs die because. Haswell users know what I mean. Why do we not speak of what kills the things most precious to us? We talked about socket burns and exploding VRMs before. What is different now? Quote
Splave Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 M6 anything ! Lol maybe it is xtu maybe its boards. Seems es are better suited to these boards. Quote
der8auer Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Did a lot of sessions on MPower Max, Z87X-OC and M6E. So far one CPU died on M6E Quote
FireKillerGR Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Did sessions on asrock Z87m ocf, gigabyte z87x-oc and on asus m6e. One cpu died on M6E during AOOC Quote
TaPaKaH Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) All crap CPUs surprisingly die on air in my hands, regardless of board. EDIT: Ones that have warranty, obviously. Edited November 4, 2013 by TaPaKaH Quote
Christian Ney Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Didn't kill any Haswell on my side yet. Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted November 4, 2013 Crew Posted November 4, 2013 Neither here... though haven't worked with M6E extensively... Gene board didn't impress me at all Quote
NoMS Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) My best Pentium MMX 200 (binned from 20, does 315MHz+ on air) died on ASUS P5A. It gave a pop and very bad smelling smoke came out underneath the heatsink... At least wasn't a "boring" death. Edited November 4, 2013 by NoMS Quote
TerraRaptor Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I think M6E is "easy to kill cpu" board 'cause of "Max Vcore" setting that is really easy to enable in LN2 mode. Say hello to >2.4v on core/cache. Quote
Alex@ro Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Nice attempt on blaming asus boards for killing your cpu's lol... Quote
der8auer Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 My first golden wPrime Ivy CPU died at 4,2 GHZ on air on a UD3H for no reason. So it's not like only ASUS is killing CPUs. Quote
Massman Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 Nice attempt on blaming asus boards for killing your cpu's lol... It is just very interesting to witness the difference between what people say off the record and on the record. What people tell me in person or in chat is nothing like what I would expect from reading the forums. Quote
zzolio Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 2 dead 4770K on m6e i am using mpower max now and no dead cpu Quote
Xtreme Addict Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Why only talking about cpus? Mpower Max and Xpower kill memories (my experience after MOA). Quote
MaJ0r Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Last CPU that I killed was 3770K, it died on M5E, I did't understand what was the reson. I had a lot of bet sessions on M5Gene and a few on M5E, so I was surprised )) RMA helped me ) Now I have AsRock OC Formula and I like this board. I heard a lot of CPUs died on MSI MB when top OCers tried to win MOA in 2010-2012 years. Quote
Dreadlockyx Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Kingston ValueRAM DIMMs die for no apparent reason when you overclock them just a bit. The C4F I recently got wouldn't work as temps below -100°C and I thought the CPU was dead. Quote

The C4F I recently got wouldn't work as temps below -100°C and I thought the CPU was dead. I have a C4E and a C5F with CBB around -100... it usually works to drop the temp in windows, though. Quote
steponz Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Lost two Asus boards.. impact and m6e.. also received new impact with bent missing pins... M6e died on air and the impact just reports 53 error after being pushed.. No dead Haskill yet.. even though some of the chips i have are awful.... Quote
Moose83 Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Seems your Chips are affraid of Asus lol Quote

Crew Vivi Posted November 8, 2013 Crew Posted November 8, 2013 it's pretty clear that M6E has some CPU killing issues, but can be resolved if propper settings are used and less "auto" settings. i saw drweez chip die first 5 mins of OC on m6e, clicked RUN on cinebench and chip never ran again. 8 cpu's out of 16 died at AOOC, 0 out of 16 died at MOA. they board just needs some attention to figure out why its killing , Its not hardware im sure, its probly some bios setting or something that goes ES mode when you bench retail chip i lost nothing on other boards so far, benched my gem REALLY hard on these boards and its still fine M6 Gene (XTU - 32M) M6 Impact (XTU Full runs - 32M) Asrock Z87M OCF (all 3dmarks - 32m) Gigabyte Z87-OC (all benchmarks) MSI Mpower MAX (cinebench - xtu full runs - 32m) i have a low volt low heat chip, maybe deaths are caused by high volt and temp overload Quote
CL3P20 Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Did a lot of sessions on MPower Max, Z87X-OC and M6E. So far one CPU died on M6E I echo this statement.. multiple sessions under cold on different boards...CPU wounded after long session under cold on M6E. Quote
