This all starts when a few days ago I noticed ITE Smart Guardian reading my +12v rail @ 10.3v-11.4v, this is IMPOSSIBLE or my PC would NOT work. So, I figured it was just screwed up....
Today, I go into my PC to relocate my AeroGate II's thermal sensor, so I slid it under my heatsink. BAD IDEA.
While doing this I noticed my +12v 4pin Power Connector was not plugged in!
There's my low +12v reading lol. That's why a few day's ago I could barely OC 200MHz stably.
I turn on the PC, the aerogate reads 34-36ºC. I boot windows. Upon logging in I get errors, errors, errors. I open ITE SmartGuardian, CPU READS 72ºC!!!!!!
Then, the screen goes black. About now, I'm in shock. I quickly hold down the power button and the PC shuts off. I really don't know what to do. (Start crying early cos I killed my whole PC, or try to revive it.)
I remove the stupid little sensor, and clean it off (funny thing the sensor doesn't read temperatures anymore, and it has this odd bubble on it).
I boot up the PC, check the temps & voltages. All good. That, is how well AMD/DFI/Enermax is built.
Thank you Enermax, for being able to supply my WHOLE system, with only the 20-pin ATX cable, through flawless gaming and performance, at stock speeds. I even had my PC on ALL of last night, woke up this morning with no problems.
The Processor was able to take the low power, and high temps it was exposed to, and the Motherboard & it's power sub-system, for sustaining SO much un-necesarry stress while staying stable.
Thank you AMD/DFI/Enermax.
Thank you GOD for keeping my PC alive.
Feel free to flame me on my stupidity LOL.
