New theory/story: Cool n Quiet killed the motherboard, because CPU fast/slow/voltage change.

Hello,



I always used AMD Power Monitor to keep the voltage low. (for cpu fan sound reduction)



The CPU was always going from low voltage to high voltage....



I could also hear the CPU fan spindle up, then spindle down again, spindle up, etc.



Maybe this constant change of voltage damaged and killed the motherboard !



Sounds plausible !



Constant voltage change... ? Hmmmm.



Maybe I should have gone for a nice big fat cpu cooler instead... then I could have always let the cpu run at full speed... no problem ! Or maybe it would get to hot... who knows ?!



Maybe I should start looking for a nice big fat cpu cooler without a fan... you know mean...



A nice passive one ! YEAH... like the scytche ninja or something like that hmmmm.



Gje, very, very, very interesting theory don't you think ?



Bye, Skybuck.



You'r an idiot, that sounds plausible!

JK

Filing another abuse complaint at your presumable ISP.

Bye, Skybuck.

Changing the voltage a lot wont blow up your motherboard. The processor changes voltages at around 2GHz and gets away with it !

Time will tell.

Time will tell.

The cpu might be blown to pieces by now ;)

Bye, Skybuck.
