*cries* Asus Rampage Extreme II board just died

[Quiksilver]

OMG you are getting stupid here. It is generally recognized that the motherboard is the board with all the integrated units built on. It is NOT just a PCB you moron. Yes, I could be more specific and state I overclock the south bridge, or the north bridge, or the hard drive controller, or memory controller or .... whatever is physically soldered onto the motherboard by a motherboard manufacturer.

lol?

Per Wikipedia:
"A motherboard is the central printed circuit board (PCB) in many modern computers and holds many of the crucial components of the system, while providing connectors for other peripherals. The motherboard is sometimes alternatively known as the main board, system board, or, on Apple computers, the logic board. It is also sometimes casually shortened to mobo."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motherboard

Even a majority of other definitions agree with that definition...

I'll admit I was partially wrong, it's not just a PCB; but in basic form it is.

No that is OVERCLOCKING BOTH!! I over clock the memory and I overclock the memory controller built on to the motherboard along with the north bridge chip that controls them both. The motherboard manufacturer did not rate nor allow the motherboard to reach 250 front side bus speed at the time. I altered the board so it could. That is the very DEFINITION of the term.

You didn't overclock a motherboard.

You physically altered the board and used a hacked BIOS to unlock higher FSB numbers than the manufacture had allowed.

You overclocked the FSB which in turn overclocked the memory and CPU.

As far as the definition of Overclocking goes....

Per Wikipedia:
Overclocking is the process of running a computer component at a higher clock rate (more clock cycles per second) than it was designed for or was specified by the manufacturer, usually practiced by enthusiasts seeking an increase in the performance of their computers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclocking

I'd say it meets that requirement.

...but I weren't discussing your definition of overclocking.

I was discussing the fact you're not overclocking your motherboard you're overclocking the components that are interconnected with it.

It wasn't even overclocked as the bclk was only at 190.

Now going back to this statement, yes you were overclocked.

CPU overclocking in basic form is CPU Multiplier X Baseclock (BCLK).

Did you have to alter the phsyically alter the motherboard, no.
Did you have to use a unlocked BIOS, no.
Did you exceed Intel's CPU specification that Asus had to follow, yes.

Is that a higher clock than the manufacture (Intel) intended, yes.

That is Overclocking.

In any case, I am done with this thread.
Asus's warranty is covering your dead board as you didn't alter it any way. The End.

I can't believe I read the whole thread. i need to get a life.

Everyone who's posted in here has been on the opposite end of the OP's opinions, I don't know but common sense says something.

Agree 😀

This guy and Tweakboy need to hang out and discuss how stupid everyone else is.

134 clocks is over the clocks of 133 - thus overclocked, and everything is as is in a black and white definition.

you are talking about a sub sector as described by Asus or gray area of overclocking which makes itself different from the very definition it describes.

To me, your argument about you hacking the bios and jump-starting ram chips as overclocking is like you are saying: "What I do is overclocking and anything less than that isn't!" That's ok. I'm not offended by it. Me, I don't want my board or anything else to die prematurely...

Good Luck on the new board!
