It is peculiar how these suckers suffer instant death. Thru the years I lost 2 X Corsair AX1500i, which were replaced under warranty. An AX1600i which was not covered because I had lost the invoice. And recently an 8Pack 2000w psu that blew up with all bels and whistles, luckily not destroying anything. Oh well  |

M2RSH lost the A mem channel, guess it got tired of pushing 8Gs of RAM. No complaints 690 subs with the board.

M2RSH, just posted up with a 6000 Windsor , (new to me one) looks like the 1640B wasn't much on the 8Gs of RAM. Makes my day as Pete pointed out hard to replace. Do have a question, lost a pin in the socket from a LE-1200, neither of the two other samples I have will post as well as my original 6000 so pulled the board and tried to shake it out, never saw he pin but didn't have a problem till the 1640B, anybody lost a pin in the socket? |

Never lost a pin into the socket, but both of the 6400+ cpus I bought where a pair both had missing pins from opposite sides of the pcb and both worked just fine. Think I sent one of them to Pete years ago, both validated 4ghz!! The lost pins seemed to have no effect on the operation of the processors. |

Thought I was still having problems, but turned out the Windsor doesn't like being colder than 2C.

Some of those are about the same as 939 is about CB/CBB issues.
Gotta monitor temps, figure out where the bug is and work it from there.

Happy to hear its going Brad if you are worried about the missing pin you can get the top of the socket off to find it one thing if the top cracks when you are getting it off you can just get another top off a rubbish board.
I use 4 blades from a hobby knife set the ones in the blue plastic cases just push them into the slots in the edges of the top of the cover.

Lost a Maximus VII Hero today the thing died and took the TridentX 2600C10 as well thought get out the replacement a Z97 socforce thats how I know the ram is toast too only to set it up and run some test runs before going cold got a couple of really low scores looking at GPUz it running at PCIe 2x look at the card its missing a pair of caps down near the tongue fuk must of knocked em off when I was painting it with Let.
I have got a dead 5850 here I will rob a couple from it to fix it.
It was a bad day shit happens sometimes just get it running and carry on.

I haven't done too bad in the HW death department, but I did kill a GPU a few weeks ago: I'll eventually get a proper waterblock but currently I haphazardly mount an AIO to my GPU core using a clamp and a piece of cardboard (so jank lol) Anyways, on this AMD Radeon R7 360 while I was applying pressure I failed to notice the AIO was not level, when I tightened the clamp I heard a crunching sound (cracking that core) I got one sub on it before destroying it, was a cheaper card (25 bucks) but was still upset that I destroyed it. But live and learn, I haven't made this mistake since  |

I clamp stuff all the time. Use a piece of foam instead of that cardboard.

Triple channel kit of Perfect Storms died a lonely death on the shelf.
All 3 sticks, dead.

Triple channel kit of Perfect Storms died a lonely death on the shelf. All 3 sticks, dead. ve spoken with Woomack at OCF and he was telling me the same thing. Seems they die just from sitting around. I find it peculiar, but then again stranger things have happened. Ssorry for the loss Scotty. Hey, BTW, outstanding Pimod 1m time on that 13700K. Almost 6.4ghz man!!! That chiller is strong! |

Not so much that I killed them, more that I had another go with them for team cup '24 dogshit stage:
No Post: Abit AN8 32X - Socket 939 | nForce 4 SLI X16 / nForce 4 SLI Chipset
Abit Fatal1ty AN9 32X - Socket AM2 | nForce 590 SLI Chipset
No Success installing an OS kept getting bugcode_usb_driver BSOD: Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe - Socket AM2 | nForce 570 SLI
Also have a second DFI NF4 SLI-DR that is no post four leds of death. I knew it was like this before TC. One day I might have a go at putting the in BIOS chip from my working one and see how that goes.

Have you tried the factory Cmos clear on the DFI ?

In case the factory CMOS clear doesn't work for your board, you may also want to check this:

Couple days ago, tested an Asus M4N82 Deluxe and was a little disappointed, (have to see if ML can make it sing, Nvidia chipset). Switched to a new to me GA-MA790X-UD4P, using the X2 7750 from the Asus board couldn't do shit with it and needless to say I used some pretty good vcore on the CPU, turns out the power plug to the chiller was dislodged while I was changing boards, can't hear the chiller over the tabletop fan, gave up for the day. Next morning got up made sure everything was working right, made windows system shut down couldn't get it to post again, after trying a few more times gave up, figured the CPU got fried the day before. Wrong on that thought, whole board from the first PCIe slot north was covered in water, water around the 24 and 8 pin connectors, both the VGA and RAM fingers were wet when I pulled them. Though the VGA only had a little moisture visible on the tail section, RAM had visible fluid from the bottom of the HS down, Water block decided to start leaking, going to blame the ratchet clamps I was using, took 2 or 3 to get one that didn't strip out, been using the block for a couple months without problem.
Right away tested the PS, OK, so mounted my other UD4P with the 7750, used some different RAM that came with the wet MB, CPU posted without problems, just tested the RAM, working. Got lucky so far, not holding a lot of hope for the MB, be a few more days before I test it.
The yellow SATA ports on my original UD4P are dead, G-SATA and PATA work, why I picked up the second one, the replacement had the same problem?

The yellow SATA ports on my original UD4P are dead, G-SATA and PATA work, why I picked up the second one, the replacement had the same problem? Sorry to hear about the board Brad. Hope it ends up surviving. If you want to send me BIOS pics from the 980a ASUS, I will give it a look and tell you if there's anything I can think of to try. I'm guessing that with the right CPU it should at least match my M4N98TD (980a DDR3, 370MHz) or exceeed, even NF590 and 780a will surpass 400MHz. That board you have is basically a cost-reduced copy of ASUS's M3N-HT, manufacturers stopped trying with nForce by that point. I have the exact same issue with 790X-UD4P & dying native SATA ports. I don't know the reason why but they just do that on this model, it's not the SB dying because all USBs work fine. If you ever run Win2K on that board you need the GSATA (JMB363) driver to install from the purple ports. That OS is good for FSB/BCLK but not much else AFAIK. |

Decided to retire the DFI DK from grinding, (AM2 & Comps Only), finding a replacement is not working really well.
My luck so far trying to find a replacement.
Asus CHIIF, set DDR2 800 in BIOS CPUz shows 377 instead of 400, won't boot 5-5-5-15 needs 5-6-6-15 once FSB starts getting turned up.
Giga GA-MA790X-UD4P, dead SATA ports, G-SATA & PATA work, once you start OCing have to turn power off at the PS and let the caps clear before it will boot again, pain between restarts.
Giga GA-MA790X-UD4P, dead SATA ports, G.SATA and PATA worked, never got to test it fully, death by drowning.
Giga GA-MA790GP-UD4H, dead SATA ports, PATA worked for a while, now about every 3rd boot attempt might get windows trying to repair itself, the other two are black screens
Asus M4A79 Deluxe, something popped, no V-Core adjustment, vid only.
Asus M4N82 Deluxe, like the board but can't get FSB to 300, might be me?
Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe, AM2+ CPUs won't go over 1.40v V-Core, tried two different CPUs.
Like both the Asus M4 boards, once you get past nomenclature used by the companies BIOS is pretty much the same as the DFI.
