TASOS Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Starting this thread to share grief and pain about legendary socket A boards that gone ashtray. My biggest loss so far. A DFI Ultra-B gone dead after using an XPM-2000+ low voltage cpu. Booted once , got into bios , load optimized defaults,save & exit =>end of story. Runner-up loss ABIT NF7-S v2.0 gone dead after testing max mem. overclock on a pair o D43's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Scott Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) How appropriate. I'll contribute. Couple years ago, NF7-S (too much VDD), and a AN7 (no idea). In the last two weeks, DFI Ultra B (mosfet fire), and DFI Infinity Ultra (too much Vdimm). Oh the joys of volt modding. lol Edited June 21, 2015 by Mr.Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.nfraR.ed Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I have maybe 10 dead s.A boards, but some of them were DOA, so I haven't killed them all on my own Don't even remember how I killed some of them, but... NF7-S due to leak from the waterblock, one or two from dead SB/NB and one from vtt=vref mod (v0.51 I think). I have 3 NF7-S still working though and they all are v0.53. One DFI Ultra-B due to high VIO, but it had problem with VDIMM mod from the beginning. One Soltek SL-75FNR2 for unknown reason. Have 2 AN7, but one was DOA, the other one still going strong. I use this AN7 to install windows from USB stick, then move to NF7-S for benching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phobosq Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 What happened and what was the fix? I have two DFIs that lost dual channel capability and DIMM slot 1 - if I place a stick in slot 1, no boot and 4 LEDs, it works perfectly fine in single channel and mems in slots 2 and 3. Strange things, those DFI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Scott Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 HoustonWe have a resurrection :ws: Many thanks to my friend Stelaras :celebration: Lucky. I was too. Repaired the Ultra B that had the mosfet fire and re-capped the board. Took a while but works fine. Fairly pleased about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
