i would say due to the psu burning out that it was the culprit for damaging the rest of system,...... bet you bought a Q-Tec

Oh, I remember the Q-Tec's

What great psu they were... not. They were **** poor

I run my a64venice/opteron on 1.6v, ranan xp2500mobile for 1.5 year of 2v watercooling.

But this is with a dual core as well.

I think everyone is a bit soft with voltages and temps..

if it gets too hot it'll shut itself down and that electron migration/tunneling thing takes aaaaaaages to take effect

Agreed, but this is OcUK, not XS

it does get a bit tiring though with the amount of people who ask "is this voltage ok" and "whats the max voltage for my chip" only to be answered "I don't go about 1.45" etc etc..

when we're surrounded by all these posts from people with fried cpus..

2 years I've been frequenting this forum and aside from some pelt accidents I haven't seen a single one.

And don't get me started on temps... so many know it alls, so little time
