i would say, exchange psu, clean the board, and only rma it, if it starts to give real issues... if your board is already damaged, it wont get killed more by a new psu,than it already is

the puppies, CP... you remember? they will haunt you in you darkest dreams

yeah the board has like 3 years I think and the PSU has to be fine, if not it would show some signs already. I think I might just keep it unless if gives any real troubles. I don't wanna have nightmares about the puppies in agony :cry:

I can just RMA my board, honestly I wouldn't trade my board for any other, seems that this board has been able to clock as good as others to a certain extent. The more BIOS updates they do for the board, the better it gets

then get a second.

if your actual board wont die, you have the best excuse to buy another i7 :rockout:

should still be good for another 2k points a day at least

Velvet Wafer · Sep 8, 2009

thats maybe a little pessimistic, at least i hope to get 2,5k/d from them

CP! What's up bro! You seen the new i5's on newegg!.. hehehehe the cheap 750 for $209 has hit 4.2GHz on air! :toast:

p_o_s_pc · Sep 9, 2009

due to weather there was power outages here today so my numbers are down

MetalRacer · Sep 9, 2009

My damn power went out about 9:30AM so three i7 rigs were down all day.

p_o_s_pc · Sep 9, 2009

do you think for my bday a nice gift to me from me would be a i7 rig? if i can pull it off i am strongly considering it. If i can't get the money for that then a PII X4 could also be nice

BTW it seems that power outages hit alot of people today... Poor puppies

Bro ask for an i5. :rockout:

So i am going to ask myself for a i5 or PII x4 and new board...If i go PII i will also pickup a cheap PSU to keep my current rig crunching if i go i5 i don't think i will have the funds. I still have about a month to see what i can come up with and to see if anything happens to the prices

Well currently the cheapest i5 is going for 209 @ Newegg and it can overclock to 4.2 on air!..hehehe but no ht... but you go up to the next level of 1156 socket and it's 860 for $299 with ht. If you go with PII i would hold out for the price drop.. they are saying the 965 will drop to 199 or below by the end of the month. I like either.. hehehe

Chicken Patty · Sep 9, 2009

im at stock cooling, 3.6 GHz and crunching at 50%. My numbers will suck for a week or two.

I know, thats why I'm doing it because if not I would have just shut it off and start to put it back in the case and start buying my stuff, but imma hold off till I get everything so there is as minimal downtime as possible. Darn puppies!

The puppies are grateful yet hate you because now they don't die they only become deformed

But 4.2 on air with HT is nice, plus Microcenter is still selling the i7 920 for $199.99.

The 860 i7 1156 socket has ht and will do 4.2GHz... The MB's are cheaper priced too. But your right if you can get a 920 for $199.99 that's the way to go! Very nice overclock bro! I wonder if they are all D0 chips? Did you buy yours from there at that price?
