Just installed a an H70 on an AMD fx 81xx chip. If you need more info on all the hardware, lemme know.
Anyway, installed the cooler, did the moment of truth first boot and it booted...was running 9-12C according to Core Temp. VERY cool.
Cranked up linX and it ran for over 4 min. I turned around for 10-15 sec and, when I looked back, no joke Core Temp said 143C...0_0
"That can't be right..."
Stopped linX, temps quickly dropped back down to ~10C. As I sat amazed at what I just saw, I opened Core Temp to see the Max temp.
...TWO...HUNDRED...FIFTY...FIVE...
MAX OF 255C!!
I...just...I was shocked. Beyond shocked. I'm still amazed. The thing was running perfectly, too!
Then, *poof*...it turned off. Never to start again.
Power supply (Corsair 800W) light turns orange when the power supply is switched on, as soon as you push the power button, onoff...power supply light is red.
What...the...hell...just...happened...
I'm blown away right now. 40 - 142C in a second? 255C Max and still running? Is this real?
Any and all help greatly appreciated.
