I was OCing and it seems my 12v cpu connector shorted out on the motherboard. This is the second time it happened, but I was wondering a few things. Did I overvolt it and cause the short? The msi guy seems to believe my psu was at fault, but it has no issue on other pcs. The last voltage I used was 1.507 on a Phenom II x4 925 and it was clocked at 3.5ghz. I feel that I probably pushed my voltage too high in hopes to get a stable clock. Is that a more legit way cause the issue? I also know my 12v rail was also showing 11.880v in the bios, but I have never seen it while not OC'd and of course now the mobo is dead. The psu is a Coolermaster extreme 600w. I can RMA it no issue, but I'm looking to buy a different brand now, and probably sell that board to a friend. I'm aiming towards gigabyte/asus, but I wont have a budget till I get payed tonight.
To summarize:
Did I short it out or is it my psu?
Is the bios 100% correct on the 12v rail or is it possible its running perfectly fine? I do not have a multimeter or money to get one right this minute.
Sorry if I broke some rule, first post.
