Verran Report post Posted December 4, 2006 Does 84c on NO cooling count? I was toying around with all sorts of different water configs. One of those ones where I've got the board laying out by itself, crappy 15" monitor for testing, water setup spread out all goofy on a ping-pong table. After about an hour of constant thermal paste applications and waterblock remounting, I finally lost it and booted it up before I had put the block back on the chip by accident. I saw 84c in the BIOS temps, realized the block was off, and pulled the power plug from the PSU as fast as I could. Apparently the BIOS temp protection doesn't work from within the BIOS And yes, this was on my "Golden Week" Opteron 148 that's in my sig. Thankfully, it survived. It's been at 300x10 for a year since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
