And before I could close prime95, everything crashed. Looked at hwmonitor for a sec and vcore was doing 1.5-1.53, like really jumping around. Btw still no heatsinks on them, man I'm an idiot (so you wouldn't have to mention). Strange snake sounds coming from VRM area. Then I started prime95 and went for small FFTs. It posted, it got to windows, I was smiling. Long story short - 4GHz was easy on 1.45v, but for 4.2GHz I pushed vcore to 1.5v. Right, recently had some incentive to OC over 4GHz. Until this point I have never cared about VRM-s (yeees, that's pretty stupid), but also haven't gone for medium-high oc voltages. But hey it worked with out any hiss coming from VRM and voltages were under 1.4v for vcore + I didn't care. I've ran 1090T successfully on it for quite a while, not realizing how much strain 圆 has on VRMs. The mobo has 4+1 phase VRM WITHOUT heatsinks. Here's what happened.ĬPU: X6 1090T 3.2GHz (most of the time at 3.6-3.8GHz around 1.35v ish) I've overclocked AMD ( ) since Duron multiplier pencil tricks, but being superlazy and often not thoural, I managed to blow mosfets on my GA-MA790x-DS4 this time.

Ten phase vrm benefit
