I'm still around, I just don't check the forum super often lol.

Still have 2 WD 500GB drives left.

Wow! That should help with building that 3rd cruncher! :D

Glad to see it back, I saved a copy of the installer back when they were going offline and have still been using it. :)

I did, it's lived in filtered cases all its life, however it was in use until just this last fall in my wife's system. Guess it wasn't getting dusted out as much as it should have been. :laugh: All put back together and ready to go in my backup system once I get a mobo.

Here's what I have spare. 2x WD 500GB Blues 1x Seagate 500GB 7200 RPM 2x Seagate 1TB 7200 RPM (Spoken for by Toothless.)

Anyone in need of some hard drives? I have quite a few spares sitting around. I'm looking for a motherboard that can drive my 3rd system. (AMD FX-8350)

This thread inspired me to take apart my old ASUS HD5850. All cleaned up. There was a full blown floof ball in the heatsink too. The TIM on the chip was hard. :laugh:

I just tried that, no luck. :(

Yeah, mine seems to be doing the same. Not sure why.

Got the main system running with a FX-9590 now. Just need another AM3 mobo and I'll have my backup cruncher running with my old FX-8350. :D

A dying HDD or SSD could cause these symptoms. If you can boot into the OS I'd try CrystalDiskInfo and see what it says.

I got everything I can crunching away. I hope to have another system built soon.

I'm interested in the mobo and CPU. Are they still available?

Sneaking back into crunching again. Been a while. Changed my line of work and had to take a break from some of my hobbies for a while.

Not kidding this was the 2nd RMA replacement of that MSI motherboard. The ASUS board is working beautifully however. :D

CPU wasn't the issue. It was the motherboard.

Purchased a ASUS Sabertooth 990 FX as a replacement. It's working awesome so far!

Yeah, at this point I think it's a good excuse for an upgrade. I appreciate all the help!

So a little update. I found the HPC setting and it had no effect. I also updated to the latest bios and that did not help. So I tried my CPU in my wife's system and her's in mine. The CPU I had shows 35*C idle in her system and her CPU is showing 62*C in mine. At this point I think my...

I will take a look again. Thanks. Screenshot for reference. I'll try having a fan blowing on the socket area, just seems odd that this issue has cropped up all of a sudden. I did notice I have Bios K2, which is a few versions old. Going to update it when I have enough time.

I have no idea what or where this HPC setting is in bios. I looked. What does HPC stand for? Coolant temps are from Corsair Link, which I assume is reading from the temp sensor in my H80i. I know MB temps are ranging from 35*C-42*C. No overclock, all settings are pretty much set to Auto...

I've tried 2 kinds of thermal paste at this point, and my airflow is good. I also just cleaned out the case and filters. It's very odd.

First of all, long time no see for those of you who remember me. Been busy with work and haven't had much time for hobbies. So here's my issue. My AMD FX 8350 is supposedly overheating according to the motherboard temperature readings. I noticed this recently after my system hard locked while...

Hey guys, long time no see. Anyways been super busy with work stuff, and recently acquired a Supermicro H8QME-2+ motherboard with 4GB ram and 4 dual core Opteron CPUs. I have plans of building it up with six core CPUs and more RAM, and setting it up to crunch. I need to find a different case and...
