E762 from the cradle to the grave
 

Board is shot. It shuts down randomly but mostly after being put under load.

How did it happen? I suspect it was during my pushing of the PCIe clocks past 115 while tryin to get more blck out of Rogue's 920 chip.

I popped in the 3570 and it does the same routine as the 920. All the good troubleshooting steps taken, bios re-flash, the 9 yards, mem switch, bla bla.

So instead of using the E762 thats arriving monday for a new contest, its going into service. ;)

FYI for those with E762's, don't drop a cheap chip into it and expect gold.

Interesting stuff. I have pushed mine to 115 at times as well. Fortunately I had no problems other than the LAN ports not working. Only seemed to quit working when I pushed the PCIE frequency too high. When I get back in the mix I am going to be a lil more cautious.

On a side note you have a 3570 as well as a 3580? :cool3:

Sorta, chuchnit has the 3580 which he'll be sending to me soon, hopefully. :D

Ahh man that is a bummer Kal.... very exspensive board ......

Do you think it is worth the money ????

I will be putting the 758 under pressure soon ... I hope that it can hold up under the pressure but will prolly only push it to 110 PCIe as I try to get 4.9 to 5GHz benchable.

If I had to guess, it had something to do with having the nf200's and so many pcie slots. You never know unless you push. I pushed clock to far and sharted myself.

WoW very sorry to hear that :(

Thats odd that just upping the PCIe Freq would do that, mine has been up over 116 with no ill effects.

I am sure this has been confirmed as to causing damage ?

Didn't know you were sporting a 4-way motherboard too Bill, nice :good:

Switched out bios chips and nada. She won't boot past 25/26 post codes. Switched gpu's, gpu slots, nada.

I switched to the 759 and both chips run great on it so its not the chips or mem modules. Time for Rammadamma RMA

:sorry::rroulette: Meant to do this sooner. YGAPM coming......


Suckos about the board, but I guess its the price you play. May the RMA gods be kind and unlocked multi chips only enter the socket. Were you pushing the nf200 voltages while bumping the pci freq?

Surprised that it was the board. Although I had a sneaky suspicsion.

What is most disturbing, is the lack of response you got from the 920 on that setup.
