mate, you are off your face. oc uk tested the cpu and an indipentend company tested the bored, its the falt of the Thermal paste. i hope to god that when you get it through nothing goes wrong, becuase hes the only guy thats gonna be able to help you if it does. its a concutor aswell. it only leaked after the paste heated up. i used it on my pc and i didnt leak but i did get cpu temp warning as soon as i booted.
im a qualified Support Technician, ive been doing this since i was 13, i have no less than 4 diplomas in hardware, network and software support. so take it from me when i say, this paste is CRAP.
iv spotted a chap on here called ZZZAC that gets irate, has mentioned getting conductive thermal paste on his socket and frying his board, is a newcomer since dec 2010 and is also dyslexic... coincidence??

case is a old school akasa a62, i did some work on it today, and put in a lian li front hotswap bay to fit 2 hdd's
my psu is a 850w icute, although the bad branding its a +80 psu and didnt kill my cpu's after i spilt thermal compund onta the lga 771 pins and shorted the socket.
the msi fuision 870a ( not the power edition) supports hydra gpu so therfore i can run nvidia and ati side by side in a xsli setup thingy. but looks like a good board to me.
if anyone can top that for less than £60 posted ill be happy, but otherwise come tommorow night i will buy it
Worthy necro, would read again. A+
Diploma in 'hardware'.... LULWAT
gonna subscribe to this thread. would be great if, in a few months or so, i suddenly found it at the top of my list, with a response from the OP
unlikely though
That really would be funny.
I don't expect the OP has the b***s though.
