Hello everyone, so i just spent my hard earned money and bought a new $2k desktop. Configuration is the following:
AMD FX8350 8-core Vischera
ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0
Patriot Viper Xtreme 8GB DDR3 2133OC 11-11-11-24
OCZ Vector 128GB
Radeon HD 7870 Royal King OC
Thermaltake Level 10 GT LCS case
Thermaltake BigWater 850 Water Cooling Kit
Thermaltake M750W PSU
...and it is driving me crazy.
I started with RAM problems not being able to boot at 2133MHz (OC) but i guess that was me cause i didnt configure additional Voltage and correct timing settings.
Then i got a major problem. After 5 days of BSOD and 3 windows 7 & 8 installations the OCZ Vector 128GB drive died on me... I sent it back and got it replaced, the same again... After 5 days everything going slightly better, suddently after a freeze i hit the reset button, and boom, there goes the replacement Vector, died just like the first one. I would really like to know if it is a MoBo or a PSU Issue. Can a MoBo destroy an HDD because of bad RAM settings, oc, etc? (when saying oc i only changed RAM to 2133 MHZ, DRAM Voltage to 1.65 and timings to 11-11-11-24 nothing else like CPU or other frequencies)
Or is it more likely a PSU Problem? I Find it jard to believe its the Thermaltake 750 Smart power, it really seems like a good psu.. The mobo is a really complicated unit, maybe it got some bad SATA ports or something, it also gave me serious trouble with its very own Asmedia SATA drivers, freezing the pc when opening HWiNFO 64 and stuff like that...
So in short : Can my mobo have fried both of the OCZ Vectors? Or is it a PSU malfuntion?!
I never had any psu problems (power cuts, power loss or anything... it is a really expensive psu and it all seem se strange
Please help guys!!!
