bad news my main rig is dead. The PSU and mbo are both dead.Found the pin on mobo and PSU both burnt. I tested the PSU on another rig. It started and ran for a few secondeds then shuts off. The board won't even post at all(tested with another PSU)

Ouch
Can you RMA the PSU/mobo?

nope. I have glued a heatsink to the MOSFETS on the board that can't be removed and the PSU is alittle over a year old(by about 15days)

 

[Chicken Patty]

Oh. I assumed it was 1 rig

I've heard the Athlon II X4s are good, they are cheap @ $100, overclock decently to ~3.4ghz on Xigmatek S1283 coolers, and don't run too hot. Not as good of PPD/mhz as Yorkfield, but ~$50 cheaper than the cheapest Yorkfield, and overclock better to boot. Only downside is the higher power consumption.

Yeah, I might get one of those, but one of them might become my main rig so I will get a 965 or something.1

Hey, I have a 790GX board bro. I can send it for shipping only. Its a board I got of Crazyeyesreaper. I was going to use it, but I got a deal on a good am2+ mobo which I rather use. He sent it to me for shipping, I can do the same for you bro. PM me to discuss this. IT's a ASROCK mobo BTW.

wow that would be great. If you can hold it till Xmas I will snach that up.But ATM i am broke(had to buy something for the GF to get her off my back)

Sorry to hear that. Any ideas for a replacement mobo/PSU?
Maybe a Corsair VX550 and an MSI K9A2 Platinum (not too expensive used), which would allow you to upgrade to 4 8800GTs later if funds permitted it

I have considered that but don't think i will do it as i have another board on the way for another P4 rig that will let me run another 2 8800GT's. As for the PSU i'm not sure what i want to get yet. Thinkning PC power and cooling or another reliable brand..

Heres what I can do for you Tim. Are you still in a hurry for the SLI bridge? I can send them both together when I get paid on the weekend. Right now Im just very short on cash. If you can wait till about next week I'll send both, the SLI bridge and the board. I don't have a spare PSU though, sorry


Thing right now is I'm carless bro, I'm in such a hassle to get to USPS it's not even funny. I just really don't have a way of getting there.

Not in a rush for the bridge at all(as the board i was going to use it on is dead) You can take your time on it as i won't have a PSU till around Xmas(unless i take the OCZ PSU out of the other cruncher) so when ever you can get there its cool with me. And when Xmas comes around and i get the money i will be sure to hit you up with it

bro, no money needed. I just said shipping for now because I'm broke. Once I have the money no prupose to give it to me bro. Just paying it forward like many people have done so for me And thats a message from the Captain!

thats kind of you bro people have helped me here so much I don't know how to thank them.

 

[[Ion]]

That's very generous of you CP!

@p_o_s: I really wish I could help you out somehow for replacement parts, but I'm broke as well and I'm trying to save up for a new PSU/VGA cooler ATM, and the spare parts I have (DDR2 RAM, IDE HDD, another LGA 775 CPU) probably wouldn't be much good for you.

I can say the same, that's why I help out too

Thanks ION, means alot to know that my efforts are being recognized.

I agree that the Athlon II X4s are good as I have a Athlon II X4 630 that is cooled by a Xigmatek Dark Knight-S1283V. So far I have only gone up to 3.2GHz. Had decent temps and probably could have gone higher. I went back to stock while troubleshooting video problems that I think have been fixed. Had nothing to do with the OC.

For the price I'd bet you can't find a better quad than the Athlon II X4 620.

You can't beat it. Quad for $100 free shipping on the egg, at least last time I checked. Don't get much better than that.

 

[Wile E]

nope. I have glued a heatsink to the MOSFETS on the board that can't be removed and the PSU is alittle over a year old(by about 15days)

Try some non-residue electronic contact cleaner to remove the glued on heatsinks. You can find some at an auto parts store. Sometimes it's marketed as Mass Air Sensor or MAF cleaner.

if that fails:
i would suggest an oven, at lower degrees, to heat it up

thanks guys. But i'm not going to bother with it. I salvaged the PSU so that is being tested right now (if it works then it stays in my dedicated cruncher then i get a new one for main rig) and CP has the board covered for me... Would anyone like somepics of the board?

Sure? So what exactly went wrong with it?
