jammin Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Makes me a little nervous of messing around too much with my own DFI P35-T2RL. I think mine is older than yours too (early 2008). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a dual core you should be fine. Waco blew out the power limits of the board with a Q6600... it just couldn't take it anymore. Thats what you get for overclocking. :evil stare: +1 Edited February 16, 2011 by BluePanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReBeL Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Wow ........ I am sorry to hear that ......... Should make everyone a little more cautious !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 After talking with DFI they are going to let me RMA it. Knowing how most RMAs work I'll probably be waiting at least a month or two to get one back from them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MercuryDoun Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Well at least Panda just finished having that computer built eh? Enjoy Win98 for a month. Just play some command and conquer: Red Alert!! The original was amazing. There are so many games that i would enjoy playing again on a OS that actually supports them!! Its kind of nice when the games dont crash every 20 minutes due to massive OS incompatibility issues! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know that you can install those games on Windows 7 or whatever, you just need to right-click on the executable and launch in Windows 98 mode or whatever. At least, that's what my bro and I did to play Risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Yeah... all those little power chips around the socket get really hot if you have a waterblock (and hence no CPU fan)... I think on my DFI 680i LT boards, even with the small heatsinks, they must have been something like 150°C or more (by finger-thermometer lol) Maybe next time have a more powerful exhaust fan at the CPU area? I still run my industrial-grade 38mm thick Panaflos throughout mine heh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still run my industrial-grade 38mm thick Panaflos throughout mine heh That's the odd thing - they essentially had six 38mm Nidec Beta V fans blowing right across them. There's no reason they should have gotten any hotter than with any other cooling setup. Edited February 17, 2011 by Waco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Sorry about your luck waco. I am glad dfi will take it in. Hopefully you get one quick.... Unlike corsair with my ram. Computer been down sense the start of this month and corsair has had the memory for almost 18 days and they have not done anything with it.... SHEESH.
