Congratulations! You are King of All Idiots' Day Fixes
AMD FX-Series FX-4100 Zambezi FD4100WMW4KGU Socket AM3+ 95W CPU Burnt like hell when I touched the heatwick pipes. That connector TOSLINK problem, I had to reseat the soundboard, after first cutting a tin strip out between the backplane case PCI connection slots. TOSLINK connection was being stopped from full seating by the tin strip. So - a triode sound-processing module's oversampling option was then slowing processing down, initially, and stuttering. (What in the Holy I Hell?) So - after initially, Stage II, I'm getting USB file copy problems (What in the Holy II Hell?) Whereupon I thunked, hardly for a second, to grabbed aholt of the CPU heatwick pipe, burning myself into the State of Blissful Enlightenment. A cable was in the fan blades and had stopped the CPU fan. I've never done that before. My first time time up running a uncooled CPU. At least I know that's not good. Not anywhere near, but, still, you've got to give credit where credit's due: That IS one hell of an AMD CPU, used, and directly from the Singapore market. Overprovisioned for 3.8Ghz it has a reputation for a solid 4.4Ghz overclocker. I don't overclock much. What I strictly do, apparently, is to overheat CPUs. Big Time. It read a 99C through the BIOS and was apparently pegged. It makes me so happy to be in the Golden Age of cheap computers. In fact, if you're looking for a CPU you want to take a 2lb.-mallet to, I'm your guy. |
