mack73 Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 I was having some weird instability issues - I couldn't pass a blended prime, but I could pass each test individually, plus my previously stable OC settings were no longer stable, etc. I opened the case today to install a little active cooling on the PWMIC heatsink and low and behold. 2 of the power cables that connect to the MB were disconnected I had disconnected them when I took out my video card for some AS5 treatment and failed to connect them again. doh So for everyone who thought that people were idiots for always asking if all 4 cords are connected, this is why Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack73 Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Yes my instability problems are gone, and with a fan on my PWMIC heatsinks, they don't top 45c (temps were spiking as high as 58c ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
