I've got two dead ones. First was a pos that has a short on vcore. My good rex has no issue I can diagnose. All voltages are present and all resistances are in line with what they should be and I already checked the two remaining Fujitsu caps. what is it not doing?
Vin
It is not posting

that sucks, not even a clue. you did the obvious bent pin check?

Check the Fujitsu caps if you haven't already.

Might have killed my chiller. Compressor won't start. Perfect time to get a new one that is even better. If you want to drive up I will build you a better one for less than 100$

3400G dead, pulled a 4400 2 core for SP1 @ 1.38v 35c- load temp, SP32 black screened hasn't posted again. Dropped the 3900x in posted right up set defaults (fabric was at 1900 even after a clear CMOS) still no post on the 3400G. Did notice that BIOS was acting clunky so possibly bad out of the box.
Never mind, corrupt BIOS re-flashed CPU booted right up.

I retired my Z77 a couple of weeks ago. Its always had a weird uefi bug where it would lose cpu multi, and memory strap options, And it would also lose contact with any hdd or ssd connected. Usually a flash would fix it, but this time it just made things worse. It did the same thing to my brother, and he shelved it for a couple of years before giving it to me. For me it fired right up like nothing was wrong, and he was surprised. But its acted up a few times already and I was always able to ressurect it. I'm kind of bummed to be honest. Oh well. That board feels cheap compared to my R3F, so maybe no more mid range boards for me.

Last couple weeks had pretty terrible luck on 775. First, I was trying to figure out Yorkfield on P45 Asus, in particular P5Q Pro. Board hardwalled at 550 fsb, crashed and suddenly just 00'd with quads. With dual cores it still works fine, but quads won't even try posting. Second, one of my P5E Deluxes decided to launch a cap straight through my room and brick the VRM controller in the same process. Third, I had picked up a P5N64 WS Pro to try out an nvidia chipset board. Sadly, it arrived dead and during disassembly a chunk came out of the SB, no chance of saving that board now... abload.de/img/img_9673x9j3p.jpgLastly, yesterday I tried my P5E3 Deluxe again after setting it aside 2 days ago and it doesn't even try post. After this I almost feel like I should take a bit of a break...

You gotta stop doing that Ground, you'll bust the budget for other stuff.
I'm taking a break myself, have a little bit of maintenance to do on my stuff before it breaks.

Also (I didn't want to post this Q on the LN2 Haven discord because I haven't caught up since three weeks ago...) What, if any, value is the Asus X58 Sabertooth board? Cheers. PS I haven't gotten around to testing out that I7-920 I bought for AUD$20 with the original box and crappy intel HSF we had discussed. But now I have two X58 boards to play with - in addition to the Rev 2.0 GA-X58A-UD5 I have a G1.Guerilla which came with a 990X and a pair of GTX 590's which work in Quad SLI so there's hope for running my two 7950 GX2 cards in Quad SLI on a non-nVidia chipset board yet

The gig board is better than the Asus board. if either Giga'itsabitsh'yte board is better than the ASUS sabrtooth X58 I wont bother with th ASUS. I just saw the ASUS board come up on OCAU or fakebook marketplace. Wasn't a good deal iirc anyway.

The nice thing with that X58A v2.0 board (and that G1) support x55xx xeons (and a few x56xx) without hard modding them my V1.0 UD5 doesn't. I loved mine until she started to act up and not OC anymore. I'd love to know how much different the G1 behaves as well..
The gig board is better than the Asus board.
Asus board isn't a slouch either though. I'd personally would want the asus board over the giga boards.

So I killed (sort of) my Enermax Revo 1020w PSU, probably pulling to much on it for to long, ten years almost??... its alive again with some soldering though so I guess its not really death in this case. Gave me an opportunity to finally take that "Void if Removed" chastity belt off her and replace the stock fan which started making a bit of noise here and there a month ago. Replaced it with a BeQuiet! SW3 and tucked her back in to be ridden hard once more. Gotta admit, best PSU I've ever owned. Enermax has earned my business again when I buy new for the Ryzen 4k build.
Edit Add: One gripe though, they have their own hole spacing on the fan, had to modify the fan to get it fastened in... that's my only complaint about the unit. Will never understand why they do something like that.

that's bugged me on a few PSU's.. or they are an odd thickness... that's a crapper too.
I sort-of wish they put the fan on a standard connector, but totally understand why they don't.

This is what I'm attempting to frankenstein today. The board I was working on can't be saved, the MOSFET that blew was literally fused to the circuitry underneath the PCB coating and would not let go, instead when the MOSFET finally moved some of the traces came with it. So I moved on to another one. It has several badly bent pins and a few severed traces on it's back. It's a Gigabyte P45 UD3L board I got cheap not ago to use for fixing the first board, since that didn't work out I'm on this one instead. Here's pics of what I"m facing here. I already know I can probrably fix the traces or just create new connections for that part of it, it's the socket pins I'm worried about. More later.

This one has a normal ol 3 pin on it, so that wasn't an issue. Thickness was pretty standard fair, if different it didn't have an effect on the fan choice. Its nice and quiet again though.

I'm just waiting for my Antecs to give up the ghost. 850w and 1000w CP series still cooking up hardware 10 years later. They are at the life expectancy already. Could be any minute lol.

yesterday killed gtx 295. trying run 1 core 1 videocard (2 cores) unigen heaven basic ddr2. started off with with celeron 430 and gtx 295 on my EP45-UD3R. booted @3.51 ghz fsb 390 and vcore @ 1.6v got the display(into the bios) and tried to increase ram to 650mhz and increased vcore to 1.62 (mother board temp:33 deg Centigrade and Processor @ 19 deg). couple of loops and no display little smell from the card. not conclusive. tried few times then booted but no display. cleared cmos and changed the graphic card to geforce 210 which booted without any issues into windows.
now again put gtx 295 and tried to boot this time, i heard a crackling sound, little smoke and good smell of burning pcb. removed the card and again with geforce 210 don't have any other problem. booted into windows and board looked fine.
don't know what went wrong. didn't do anything to the graphic card. could there be any problem with psu. not used the card for more than a year...... old card died natural death.........

You just gotta hate it anytime one dies, esp if you're really needing it. Sorry to hear it happened K, I know you'll be back with something good before it's over with.
Working on my NF4X ATM so it's ready to fly instead of die itself. Clean it up and replace a cap I found going bad on it.

Killed a whole stack of DDR2 today. Maybe not just today. Might have thrown some of these back in the drawer dead a while ago. In any case, they're all dead. Set of G.skill 1100 Pi's 2 sets of random Corsair 1066's Set of G.Skill crap 1066 Set of 1100 Dom's Set of Patriot 1066's
