fryed my 2400+

[Soulkeeper]

It only took 2.05v
just so ya know

and i suceeded at pleasing nobody

 

[touchmyichi]

ouch. I'm glad my A7N8X only offers up to 1.85v in order to restrict me. Yeah anything over 1.85v is just overdoing it. Sorry man. PS: Why did you buy a 2400+ if you are still using SDRAM and a voodoo 5.... Address those bottlenecks first before u run out and buy a 200 dollar processor.

 

[ChampionAtTufshop]

how did you fry it?
(please dont tell me SNDS is migrating to tbreds ! :Q)

 

[THUGSROOK]

R . I . P .

 

[Soulkeeper]

I took the thing to 2.54ghz
heat was not at issue
I just booted it up after a day of being off and found it to no longer be stable at 2v so i bumped it up to 2.05
and that pretty much secured it's death
can't boot it now at any speed/voltage

my 1700+ T-bred b runs fine at 2.15v
guess it's just the luck of the drawl

it was the perfect seti machine
/me wipes a tear from his eye
thanks THUGSROOK

 

[ChampionAtTufshop]

ouch....
R.I.P. x2 dude....

 

[jiffylube1024]

yikes! And here I am nervously running my 1700+ at 1.675V! I don't have the balls to run mine at anything over 1.75V (the fact that this damn chip is very unstable above 1.75V is also a good reason ).

Mmmmmm, beeeeeerrrrrrrr, that'll solve your problems real well .

 

[Actaeon]

Hrm, Maybe I should lower from 1.9v?

My 2400+ also is lieing with the fishes now. Didn't like the 1.95v at all. Still boots up, but can't install Windows or boot into it. ::sniff:: time for another 2100+

Ack!

Looks like we got a case of STDS (Sudden Tbred Death Syndrome)

Fried my 1600XP @ those v's won't do it again...even with 1 Promedia when given the chance...max 1.85 for me and may the bred fly on

 

[BD231]

I think people should have taken note when the P4s started biting the dust from overvolting, anything higher than 1.725 to 1.75 is going to far.

1st off, lol
2nd, FUBAR! @#&*&*@

guess i wont be going too far with my voltages....

 

[Drsignguy]

Start puttin' those keychains together or a "wall of flamed" and send us the pics!

 

[Soulkeeper]

yeah I would say up to 1.9 is fine with any T-bred cpu
higher is pusin it unless you know what yur doin

What kind of cooling?

 

[Budmantom]

gone but not forgotten...

 

[Creig]

that's the 3rd cpu i've fryed

That's a bit more than usual for people. Ever think of cutting back on your overclocking just a WEE bit? Overclocking your processor to DEATH is kind of self-defeating, isn't it? I mean, an overclocked 2400+ is always going to be faster than a stock 2400+, until it's dead that is. At which point the stock 2400+ pulls ahead.
