I picked up a new 920 chip (D0, w00t!) today and shoved it in my sig rig. Ran at very low voltage and had excellent temps per clock as a result. After upping the speed to 20x200 and getting voltages adjusted, I was able to get 4ghz running in prime95. The CPU temps were decent but not terrible, however, the VREG temps climbed rapidly.
The last temperature I saw on e-leet was 95C, I assume it reached 100c. Power was cut from my comp instantly. There were no audible pops and no smell of smoke. All power seems to be cut from the board. The blue LED light by the 24 pin connector won't even light up when the PSU is flipped on. Is this mobo a paperweight now or have I just tripped some sensor that needs the batt removed or some jumper fix?
The EVGA x58 is fairly notorious for high vreg temps, and I read somewhere the solid state caps could take quite a bit of heat before having to shut down. Regardless, keep it below 100c!
