Today I lost my first Tyan 2460 motherboard.

[IsOs]

I recently upgraded the cpu to a pair of 1900+, 3 days later it won't boot anymore. This board is one of the earliest version. Was working fine this morning before I left for work. I shut down the computer and when I came home it won't boot🙁

ouch.

Sorry to hear that IsOs. I had an early 2460 and it was rock solid. I sold it to Will (Crazee) a while back and AFAIK it's still churning out the SETI units.

Hope you can get an RMA on your board and get it back up and running. 🙂

Under warranty?

i have always had good luck with tyan. first started selling them around 10 years ago
i think.

i currently have at least 7 of the 2466's
and they have been great. only thing is they take forever to post.

Thats the thing about the 2460/2462, you either get one that lasts forever or shortly. Just make sure your PSU isnt the culprit. Those puppies take some juice.

I can't find the invoice for this board. I don't even remember where did I purchased this motherboard. I'll try to see if Tyan will give RMA even without an invoice.

Ouch, that hurts. Hope you can get it RMAed. 🙁

I remember I had an Abit board go bad (yeah, I'm shocked

) and they would RMA it with or without the invoice. The difference was if I had the invoice I didn't have to pay for their shipping. If I didn't I had to prepay shipping. Either way I paid for my bad board to be shipped to them.

Bad MOBOs seem to be a common thing these days...

Kinda wish we were back in our BX days... only one chipset to really worry about

 

[kadajawi]

yeah, and its rocksolid... My main rig is still running on a BX board... 83 MHz FSB, as stable as it was 3 years ago! Wooohooo! I think in 10 years it will still run fine 😀

Sorry for your lost Tyan... hope you get it RMAed. Good luck!

My old Abit BH6 300A @ 450 is still running today. I sold it to a friend long ago but it's still rock solid even at 2.3(?) volts (whatever the default max was).

Unfortunatly, my success with Abit boards was done after that. I think I had 3 of them go bad before I switched to ASUS.
