58 deg Tctl is high-ish with OC. Not in context of absolute heat but, as you OC, thermal thresholds of stability ultimately go down (instead of 70 deg Tctl which is the default, you may start witnessing instability already at 60 deg Tctl). Heat and power delivery of your board will both become...

Why not split it by whole CPU ? Then you could do 36/12 or 24/24 split and you'd be able to drop the voltage on the slower CPUs. You probably could do that but I can't really recall if there are any caveats. It was long time ago and it's possible there's a reason this wasn't heavily...

Do you actually see temps exceeding 70 (or 75 deg) just before the shutdown?

212 EVOs may not look as pro as Noctuas but they get the job done as well as big (120) Noctuas, if not better. Small (92) Noctuas will probably suffice for open-case 140W application I don't think they would be fine for OC. Big (120) Noctuas should be fine for mild OC but their fans, while...

Awesome! Glad to hear the procedure worked without desoldering the flash chip; this may become very helpful for others in similar need.

Oh poo. I'll try to come up with exact recovery steps next weekend. Ofc, it's worth pursuing flash replacement option in case this doesn't work....

Power LED getting lit is definitely a good sign. It's been a while since I did a recovery on these boards so I can't really remember if there are specific recovery requirements... I will have few of these boards accessible next weekend and should be able to exercise recovery process and come...

OK Though, if possible, see if you can do the SUPER.ROM recovery using the ROM from the link above. The 3.5a (H8Q series) and 3.5b (H8D series) released in 2015 were nothing but trouble for me.

Bah, I meant regular 3.5 (non-a) there (got confused a bit as only dual-socket boards ever received a 3.5b version). Anyway, try the ROM from this package (plain 3.5): http://www.supermicro.com/support/resources/getfile.aspx?ID=2535 EDIT: one more side question -- when you power the board on...

I'd try doing recovery again. Did you use 3.5b version? If so, I'd try 3.5a -- it's visibly more stable than 3.5b. Your choice of hardware seems OK but I haven't used either piece so can't really vouch for them. It would make sense to confirm pinout compatibility between the test clip and the...

Which temps do you have in mind? Temps reported by.. ? IPMI? TPC? Something else? For CPU-reported temps you can use TurionPowerControl -mtemp You can easily tell a thermtrip by the fact of machine shutting off (though PSU's OCP could be responsible for this as well). Unfortunately, I have not...

Gah, sorry, I meant post #4 in _this_ thread -- http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1042051765&postcount=4 To summarize -- once H8DG6/H8DGi support was complete, there was a short (12/26 - 01/03) window to do some H8DGU development but it didn't work out (no one stepped forward...). My new...

Comprehensive and exhaustive list of OC approaches has been covered there: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1765747 H8DGU support has been covered in post #4.

  OCNG 5.3 has been released Highlights: supports H8DG6 and H8DGi series boards features multiplier adjustment for unlocked CPUs For installation instructions, see: http://area51dev.blogspot.com/p/ocng5-installation.html Note: you'll also need ocng-utils-5.3 to configure it
