Waco Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Waco you could have put it in the MSI board....... How would that determine if my board was dead or not? Regardless, it's up and running now. I only got a little bit of hell for using BluePanda's parts without asking. Maybe some new overclocking results tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Would have gotten rid of the concern How would slapping a new CPU in a known working board tell me anything? I wanted to know if my board was dead or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By putting it in a known good one there is no need to worry Then its an RMA for safeties sake and you are still up and running Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to have to RMA my UD4 though...it's just too damn nice looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d6bmg Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 ^ What is the relation between look of the motherboard & RMA? If it is bad, then you will obviously same model back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

d6bmg Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 ^ But if your motherboard really went wrong, then you have no other way but to send it for RMA, or you can always burn your newly received processor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 I know...but after Intel said they'd cover it I didn't care much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 What MSI board do you have and why don't you like it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCRO Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) My UD7 has been running hard with my 2600K since last July no problems. I had my CPU at 1.46v @ 5Ghz.for more than 6 months easy, but now I just run stock to save power and heat. I doubt it's the board.. Gigabyte's boards never gave me problems.

Waco Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 I guess I should have updated this - I tested the CPU in the board after Intel said it was okay to do so and it works fine. I didn't want to use the MSI board here because it's BluePanda's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
