Don't get a gt 720 it's pretty [crap]. I have a quadro k610m which is comparable in spec(192cores,64bit bus,1 gig gddr5) and it struggles to play games at 1080p at the lowest settings. Please watch the profanity in the technical forums. It is not permitted here. -Rvenger

Nvidia riva 128

How did you get haswell refresh? I thought the releasedate was 11 may?

Well the idea was to reflow the card because of micro cracks in the lead free solder. I did it with a nvidia 9600 gso and that videocard worked again. This gtx 480 was pretty broken. Before I baked it it didn't give any picture and it's fan wouldn't start up. I thought that baking would help. It...

As far as I can see they are just charred. My pc doesn't show any weird symptoms like usb ports malfunctioning. It just works as before the incident.

I don't think it's Asrock fault that the motherboard behaved the way it did. I just put a really crappy gtx 480 in it. In retrospect the bulking capacitors on the gtx 480 were a obvious sign that something wasn't alright.

Everything seems to work fine. I think the bare copper wire is the ground of the motherboard since it connects with the screws. I think my gtx 480 short circuited my ground. Becuase alot of current went through it it became very hot which fried my top part of my mobo. Anyway that's my theory.

Really? It seems to work for now. I made a picture of the backside. Luckily there's no damage on the backside. And another image from the front

Alright here is a better picture. I will make a picture of the backside later. I have tested it with intelburntest and furmark at the same time. I have a i5 2500k@4,7 ghz and a gtx 660ti. The motherboard is a budgetmodel from asrock. It's a ASRock Intel P67 Pro3.

I burned my motherboard when i tested a baked gtx480. When i turned on my pc there suddenly was a lot af smoke :eek: . I quickly shut down my pc and i restarted it with an another graphics card. Luckily my pc still works. However there is now a burned mark on my motherboard. Here is a picture of...

You sure about msi? On mine gtx660ti there is a warrenty sticker on the screws for the heatsinks.

You could look for a second hand quad core for socket 775. I think they're pretty cheap now and it would be a decent upgrade.

I think i have the p67 pro3 since I only have one pci-e 16x slot. Low noise isn't a problem for me since I have the bequiet dark rock advanced c1 cooler which is one of the quietest coolers under load and idle. Btw 1.13v is a typo is should be 1.31v. I wish my i5 2500k ran on 4.7ghz with that...

I have the asrock p67 pro3 motherboard. It is advertised as having 8+2 power phases. How do I know that this is true? I read in some review that is has only 4+1 power phase and that the other power phases are virtual. What does this mean? Is dangerous to overclock my i5 2500k with it? I know my...

So the consensus is that pentium 4 could have reached 10 ghz but only with exotic cooling like liquid nitrogen. The blame for this is the needed voltage to work stable at 10 ghz. But doesn't voltage scale down with the node? Haswell works on a lower operating voltage than sandy bridge while...
