So for my latest build I thought I'd step it up to a custom watercooling loop. Built it according to specs below, ran it for a while, OCd it, went back to push a little more and it goes kaput :\
Mobo: gigabyte 78lmt-USB3 rev. 5.0 black socket, 125w CPU support
CPU: phenom II x4 960t unlocked to x6, ran at 4 GHz at 1.48v
PSU: Corsair TX 750
GPU: GTX 670 FTW with clear koolance block
RAM: patriot viper xtreme 1600 MHz
So it was running fine with CPU at 4 ghz and 1.48v, reference clock at 218, NB at ~2400 MHz, ram at ~1740mhz and 1.5v, and 1.3v on the NB. All other voltages and values were stock or auto I believe.
Then, I go back and switch ram to 1333mhz with 7-7-7-21 instead of the 9-9-9-24 it was on since at a 2400 northbridge tighter latency matters more, and while I was there I flipped the vcore up to 1.53v and multiplier up to reach 4.28 GHz just to give it a shot.
Well, now nothing appears on the screen. Everything starts up, water flowing, fans moving, but nothing on the screen, and no beeps when I remove the RAM either. No lights on this mobo to tell what's up.
So, could I have fried the VRAM modules on the mobo while trying to push its 4 + 1 powerphase in a moment of glory? Or maybe the CPU was a weakling and couldn't take the current of the extra 0.03v?
All temps have been under 33C up through this point, so nothing died of heat!
Thanks!
