 http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2365687Ran SuperPi to get it clocked up there, sat on the desktop for awhile to validate it and post it. But then I shut it down because PCIe #2 is dead as a door nail. I wasn't expecting it to make it through post, but after setting LLC to Very High, enabling PPL overvoltage, and manually setting voltage to 1.53v it not only made it through post, but several failed validation attempts, and a SuperPi run to get it loaded  While it's exciting to have such a bench friendly i5-2500k, I'm much more excited about TRi SLi - So in a box it goes, to ASUS.  Should be exciting if it does x56 or more, might actually get a P score to break some records on hwbot for my cards.

Sadly there were more casualties, it seems my SSD and probably my F3 Spinpoint are once again dead. My HX850 goes belly up if I try to use more than 1 black 6 pin modular cable. Pretty pissed off about this, I just got that SSD back like a week ago and had it in my laptop the entire time. A few minutes in my desktop and it's dead again. Contacting Corsair, not really happy at all, I have no idea what I'm going to tell Crucial or Samsung, however I made it blatantly clear to Corsair that their PSU is killing my sh!t and I wasn't happy about it

It has a 7 year warranty, so yeah I'm sure I can. However that's not really my beef, my beef is it didn't die, it just started killing all my other sh!t.

So your PSU failed in sadly spectacular fashion? Were you overclocking using your graphics cards or using the CPU graphics?

My board was acting stupid so I only had one card running, you can see it in the validation, I never even touched the ram I was in the process of troubleshooting and installing windows updates/drivers.
It seems half the PSU is faulty, the main rail seems fine it's the black 6 pin connector that is having all sorts of problems. I can't hook in more than one black molex or sata cable or it won't start it seems to short it self out. However if I bypass that and simply run one connection off it - well it kills my drives.
