Spoke to soon by the looks of it haha. Got the 1.6kw evga psu and it does the same thing :(. seems to be a temp thing or a limit on the current the board can push. Cranking the volts up at a lower clockspeed results in the same thing (eg 1.55v @ 3.5). Ah well, think I've reached the limit of...

Well, another interesting development I should have seen coming! haha, according to the temp readings she's getting up to high 40's max under load. Which seems low but I think I found the real culprit again. At 4200 1.4v the power meter I have is showing a 1430w draw at the wall. And taking into...

Yep, all vrm's are sinked and there are 4x corsair airflow units, one on each bank of ram to keep them cool. As well as a pedestal fan blowing across the whole unit (side panel is off). There's enough air flow to keep the back rad fans spinning even when powered off :p.

Got a mostly stable 4.2ghz @ 1.4v. I think I know what thermal shut down looks like now. It goes to a black screen and eventually reboots itself. Trying for 4.4 @ 1.4v it blue screens like I would expect with not enough volts, but pushing any more volts it just does the black screen thing. And...

Hi mate, Would you be willing to ship the ram to Aus? (I'll pay for shipping of course!). Does the memory boot automatically with those timings, or is there fiddling needed first to get it to boot on an IL system? Thanks heaps :)

I always like coming here better than other forums because you guys know more about the obscure hardware :D. The Antec 1200w PSU is shitting itself! Hitting OCP far too early by the looks of it. 3300 @ 1.3v runs through fine, instead of the machine shutting off almost immediately. Did a few...

Yep, VRMs are heatsinked and there's 4 sets of corsair airflow units blowing air across the whole mainboard. Will try my other 1200w psu shortly.

That's a good idea! Managed to get a hold of a fairly cheap reader today. Wprime 1024m load @ stock = ~475w at the wall (not too bad!) Wprime 1024m load @ 3000/1.25v = ~725w at the wall Wprime 1024m load @ 3200/1.3v = ~815w at the wall Tried for 3300/1.32v and it powered off a couple of...

Hi tear, thanks again for your reply! The machine is basically just shutting off completely after a few seconds of load. I will try another psu to make sure that's not the case, though 1200w should be ok! It doesn't do it at stock speeds or even up ~3ghz. but once I push a bit harder or use...

Hey guys! I'm back with more retarded questions! :D Have finished my newest 4p opteron build this time watercooled and using spicey chips! The idea was to bring home a few cups from hwbot and then set it to DC duties for the rest of its life. But I'm still having lots of trouble ocing it! Got...

I don't suppose anyone trustworthy on here would have the ability to buy one or two of these boards for me and ship it to Aus? I have a couple of big server cases, PSU's, plenty of ram and 4x 6172's doing nothing so this might be a good spot for them.

20Mill in WCG. Need to get my opteron machine up and running still!

Awesome milestones guys! Keep up the good work :D

Yah, sounds like a bad contact. Increased resistance = heat. A lot of those cheap adapters use thin wires and the connectors aren't the best.
