Hey Grease! You have any AMD stuff to sell. I have a board coming my way with no CPU. Also, I will be doing an AMD build soon. Let me know. PM me if you'd like.

do you think, yours is broke? what signs showed that to you?

I need one for my upcoming build anyways. However, the video card loosing the display. I try a different card and the system BSOD's. However, the other card does not use any PCI E connectors, so that leaves me to believe its the board.

But when I test my PSU with a multimeter, one pin that is supposed to be 12v, shows 3.3? But maybe its just a 3.3v pin?

try another board, with your card, and the same PSU?
is that possible for you?
which plug did you read out?

i tried a different PSU and it was fine so far. but i tried mine again and problem started.

24 pin was the one I read.

i believe things are clear, when you encountered such a situation, or am i wrong?

which other PSU worked? also Brand?

its should be your PSU, try to run 24 hours with the other psu, and if it does not crash, you will know, it was the PSU fucking with you

it did run 24 hours without crashing. But when I plugged in my PSU again the one I think is bad, it ran for 24 hours also LOL, but then failed lol

Extend period to 48 hours?

i dont know, it seems thats the best thing to do? :-)

p_o_s_pc · Dec 2, 2009, 08:41 PM

OCCT PSU test for a few hours

on both of them or just get the new PSU and be done with it like you said you need a new PSU anyways... As for testing with a DMM its best to test on the 24pin if its dual rail if its one big one you can test it anyplace...

just remember
yellow= 12v
red=5v
orange=3.3v
and black= ground
it doesn't matter what ground you use and test all voltages underload and idle. I would recommend running Linpack(your choice of progy) and Furmark to load the CPU and video card to get the worse case readings

It won't run. Doesn't give me an option.

Anyhow, my 12v was rather high last time at 12.19. I checked again today and it's 12.40

Couldn't that be an issue. This PSU is adjustable but the screw is like not working

Imma have to RMA it

voltage too high and too low both can cause problems. It sounds like your video card is fine but because of the 12v rail being so high it is cause OVP (over volt protection) to kick in when the card goes under load(its when it draws more power) I had what you are describing when i would run about 1.35v into my GPU would be fine at idle(for awhile) then shortly after being loaded BAM black screen..didn't you say you had a problem with it running hot?

also did you test it under load using furmark and linpack?

I have before, and its fine, but then fails after, or sometimes it fails during stress. Its just so random, I can't even describe it anymore.

you said your not having the problem(s) with the other PSU? If that is true then it is the PSU and with the voltage being that far out of spec on the 12v line i would get it replaced

Yeah, once I have a chance, I'll proceed with the RMA. This PSU is adjustable. But the adjustment screw, the head is stripped or something. I just can't get no screw driver to turn. So I'll be forced to RMA it.

WhiteLotus · Dec 8, 2009, 07:12 PM

heads up - the CPU (E8600) has now gone on general sale. If you have any interest in it and will use it for WCG let me know and i'll work out a reduced price for you.

cheers
