It's mostly in my sig, but I'll post it up here too:
System specs:
-----------------
Intel E6400
Gigabyte 965P-DS3
500GB Seagate 7200.10 SATA
2 x 1GB Corsair XMS2 PC2-6400 C4
Tuniq Tower 120
OCZ GameXStream 700W
Sapphire X1900XT 256MB W/Acclero X2 cooler
Samsung SH-182D DVD +/- RW
Aerocool ExtremEngine3T case.
Overclock settings:
-----------------------
FSB: 425MHz
CPU Multiplier: 8
PCI-E frequency: 100MHz
vcore: 1.300V
FSB voltage: normal
MCH voltage: normal
PCI-E voltage: Normal
RAM: 1:1 (850MHz), 4-4-4-12, 2.1V
So I recently (yesterday) replaced my X-Finity PSU (ick) with a GameXStream 700W, and my Zalman 9700 with a Tuniq Tower. Everything seemed fine, and I was testing my overclock out at a slightly lower voltage (1.300 instead of 1.325 I had on my old crappy PSU) with dual-orthos (one Gromacs, one small FFT).
Looking at it every now and then, it ran fine for several hours at a temp of about 45C (CoreTemp) but I went to look at it again and it was frozen, and the temp had risen to 54C (I guess just before the freeze-up).
So I rebooted. Or I tried. I get nothing. No POST, no beeps, nothing on the screen (stays in power-saving mode), absolutely nothing. I crank up the fan control for the Tuniq, it doesn't seem to move at all. The keyboard appears to do nothing, and the mouse doesn't light up.
The PSU does turn on. Its fan spins, and its nifty blue light lights up. All the connectors are still plugged in tightly, as far as I can tell. The DVD drive makes its normal little noises, and the case fans spin. the fan on the video card runs, and if I turn it on without the 6-pin PCI-E power connector plugged into the card, a little red light still comes on on the card, so it must be getting power through the PCI-E slot.
Any ideas? Anyone? I have a hard time believing I permanently damaged my CPU at such a low voltage, and the only other voltage I upped was RAM, and it was within spec for the sticks.
The entire system is only a month and a half old, the PSU and Tuniq are brand spanking new. The PSU is vastly superior to my old POS Ultra. I was very careful when I disassembled and reassembled everything, wearing an antistatic wrist strap, and working on an antistatic mat. And it all worked brilliantly until an hour or so ago.
Am I the victim of an act of God? This makes me a saaaad panda
