My Asus Crosshair went up in smoke today and took my 8350 I just grabbed with it . It started smoking directly above the CPU. I believe that area is the VRM's or Mosfets, not 100% sure.
I had just installed an H100 cooler and was getting an FF code and no post shortly after. Took the system out of my case, it posted. Put the mobo back in the case, wouldn't turn after a few tries. Tried once more, smoke.
I was heavily overclocked with all power options at max. My biggest worry is that mx Hx750i caused this, so I'm avoiding using it for the time being and using a CX500. The thing is I used the HX to post it while it was out of the case and it worked fine.
Doing a bit of research it seems like that area of the mother is not super uncommon to go up in smoke, and the motherboard itself is usually the culprit. Should I still use my Hx750i? How would I know if it's ok to use...ugh.
