When the replacement parts came in, I narrowed it down to the CPU, and MB. Both were bad. PSU was okay.
I was under the impression that the P8P67 Pro was a good board? I used the MSI one as an example since I had a few bad boards from them before. ASRock thought I've had great luck. Is the...
My theory is the MB was faulty, it couldn't take the 1.39volts and it should be able to, its not some cheap 4+1 phase MSI crap, it has heatsinks on the VRM's and such built for overclocking. Asus even says vcores of 1.4+ are okay.
Faulty MB failed and took CPU out with it. OR PSU being...
No, god doesn't know, I know because I had HWmonitor running and the max temp on hottest core was 68c. Nothing got too hot. I ran Prime when I first OC'd it about 12 days before it actually failed. I was playing games and enjoying the CPU well beyond, that.. and playing games and such temps...
Okay so finally it's up and running, seems sketchy. I haven't changed ANY BIOS settings. It was really hard to get it to recognize the second stick of ram. Now it takes about 3 boots to recognize the HD. I don't know what is wrong with these ASUS boards but I don't like it, I wish I could just...
People say under 1.4 is safe my max temps were 68c highest core.. So I guess the MB failed at that voltage which cause the CPU to fail. The p8p67 pro is made for over clocking so looks like a faulty MB to me. And this ones warped but works fine.... For 180$ shouldn't get two consecutive faulty...
Okay it is confirmed. MB and CPU fried. PSU didn't fail, somehow both MB and CPU failed... I don't get it, what's to stop that from happening again?
Now all is fine using new MB and CPU.. New PSU with only one GPU until I can get a bigger PSU just to be safe.
I don't think a low voltage OC...
New mb gets power fans turn on
Can't get into bios
Old CPU has green mb light and red CPU light
New CPU has green mb light and red dram light
I'm at a loss I'm gong to get fucked on 500$+ or have to wait two weeks fr a functioning computer.. Fuck ASUS seriously.
The bottom left corner of the PCB is up about 1/4 inch if laid on a flat surface, and I can mount it without hearing cracking noises I think it will be okay
Great... The replacement MB is warped the entire PCB is warped. Not flat. Asus is supposed to be a good company? I'm going to install anyway and see what happens.
I agree that it's mb problem and appreciate feedback on psu. I will find out exactly what failed in a few hours when new parts arrive.
I only changed vcore and turbo multiplier and left all other settings on as I had all and chips before this one I am not familiar with intel technologies
Since this thread is getting kind of long , I will ask only one more question. If I put the CPU in the suspected bad mobo to troubleshoot or vice versa could it cause damage ? Thanks for everyone's input
I was not aware 1.39vcore was a high oc. According to people's advice I bought high quality components for each part and have failure when my and budget build with 20$ psu and 60$ mb didn't fail for 8 months under dangerous voltages. I wish I could find out how this happen because I don't think...
It was most definitely stable. 12 hours of prime is sufficient. Didn't have one sign of instability for 15 days. This board will not get into bios, it won't even start not one fan, not even the psu fan on a known working psu. It won't post or anything I don't know why so many people don't read...
I tried almost everything suggested so far, some people don't read or don't get that theres no life at all not a single fan or beeps or diagnostic leds on. I'm about to try without CMOS batt with both psu.
I tested psu on friends pc nd it works. New psu CPU and mobo comming in a few hours...
No indications of life whatsoever except this solid green light on mobo near the front panel jumpers. According to manual it is standby mode/soft power-off light
Okay I've also tried each card separate and no card.
No fans spin up no beeps nothing only green light on mobo with multiple psu
Tried each rAm stick in every combination same thing just no power at all except this damn green light
That is the problem no starting at all like its just dead no...
Also I would like to add 6850s have low power consumption only uses 1 6pin power cord each.
It ran okay for 15 days, if it was low power, why fail now?
Also I am running 1 caviar green 5400rpm hd I forgot to put in op
Psu comes with 2 pci-e 8pins?? Doesn't make sense
I did list all steps I took and the results .. Nothing turns on at all with multiple psu. Green standby light is on mobo but nothing else. Psu does work still so that did not fail. It was CPU or mobo failure. I'm trying to figure out why so it doesn't happen again.
Can underpowered psu cause...
Okay well let me ask a new question, can a underpowered psu cause hardware failure?
The psu is not broken as far as I can tell. Like I said nothing turns on at all, I don't know how to make that any more clear to the first responder.
My setup is:
Asus p8p67 pro rev 3.1
I7 2600k
2x4gb corsair vengeance 1600
No optical drive
4x case fans
2x hd6850
Hyper212+ 1 fan
Corsair CX600 watt psu
I have been running this at 4.8ghz 1.39vcore for 15 days
12 hours of prime95 hit 68c on hottest core
Opened assassins creed...
That's funny cus this guy I was friends with IRL back in 1998 named Sr6_Cryptic founded the clan with me and a few others, Sr6 and GHOST were the top clans then. I find it hilarious his name is so well known you would copy it or lie about it. Unless your name is Brian and you're from MD, and you...
