Which would lead me to believe one of several things: the parts were bad before you got them, failed naturally due to imperfections, or they weren't hooked up correctly (which hopefully isnt the case). Saying that CPU throttling damaged your power supply is a long, long stretch... a big enough stretch that hopefully you would realize that something else must be the issue. In general parts do fail every now and again, but keep in mind they are designed to NOT fail (and function together). CPU throttling by definition should not damage anything on your computer. Neal |

In general parts do fail every now and again, but keep in mind they are designed to NOT fail (and function together). CPU throttling by definition should not damage anything on your computer. It may be of interest that some processor intensive SW has throttling methods that involve intermittent 100% processor duty control methods. Some months ago, I scoped local regulator and auxiliary regulator supply deviations under this regime on two different 1ghz AMD processor motherboards, operating off of generic supplies of varying age. I found no deviations that would induce or explain hardware abnormalities occuring at the time. http://tinyurl.com/5z5fgb http://tinyurl.com/6hr7sh Hope this helps to relieve any anxiety that the OP may have developed re this issue.

New Theory: AMD's CPU Throttling damaged the power supply.
the more things change the more they stay the same..
skydork you're a hoot....buy disposable e machines, it would be more humane compared to what you have done to your rigs. There should be a law against it.. "Skybuck Flying" wrote in message b.home.nl... Hello, I have a new theory how the power supply got damaged: AMD's X2 3800+ dual core processor has CPU Throttling. I downloaded a special AMD Software tool called AMD Power Monitor or something like that. Which throttles back the CPU when it's idling... then when it needs to do work the cpu is throttled up. So on idle the processor will work at 1.0 volts... and then when it's busy it will work on 2.0 volts... maybe even voltages between it. These voltages fluctuations occur very rapidly. Think of it like this: You turn on the water... you turn off the water... then you turn it on again... then you turn it off again. If you do this at the right pace... the water in the tubes will start to pound on the inner tubing... and sooner or later something is going to break. This is probably what is happening inside the electronics. It will work for a while... but after one or two years of heavy usage... kiss it goodbye ! Fluctuations in temperature seem to also cause problems for gpu's in laptops... Try doing that with your teeth fillings... ouch Crappy hardware nowadays, me very sorry I bought this crap. But it is powerfull and with some nice Skybuck experience and knowledge it might work after all. So I gotta find a new power supply... and leave the processor at always 2.0 volts to prevent any damage or temperature fluctuations. Don't know what happens to gpu though... though the 7900 gtx seems to be able to take quiet a beating... don't know about the components around it on the motherboard though You've been warned people =D Bye, Skybuck. |
