Do you think there's a bunch of AMD head honchos sitting around a table somewhere, chuckling? Even with this recall crap Bulldozer's going to have to do something pretty amazing to edge out the 2600K...

Picking up my AsRock Extreme6 MB tomorrow and assembling my first (personal) cpu for years tomorrow. Geeky christmas titters all up in my insides! Well, as long as my existing PSU isn't faulty. Are there any decent ways to test if my CPU will be able to handle the load?

Factory Factory posted:Prime95 or Intel Burn Test. If it can run Prime95 for 24 hours or IBT for ten minutes, the processor is stable. You'd need something else for full load (i.e. stressing the graphics card, too), though. And maybe a multimeter to get actual voltages. EDIT: I actually mean PSU not CPU. Whoops! Cool thanks. This PSU (Corsair HX 620w) was being used in my old AMD2 machine that poo poo itself when the mobo crapped out, never to return. I can't be sure it wasn't the cpu or the PSU being screwey I guess (I think it shat when I plugged a USB drive into the front mounted USB slots on my tower) but I've had it running in an i5 system with no problems.

Factory Factory posted:PSU problems are usually a differential diagnosis (i.e. like an episode of House except you don't have House helping out). Unless you have an oscilliscope, there's no way to rule them out, and you have to look at history and symptoms to give you a good probability that it's a PSU problem. Awesome thanks. I never even got it close to load in the previous system so I didn't think it was so stressed it'd kick the bucket. Sandy Bridge here I come!

LiftAuff posted:Sounds like a short when you plugged in the drive. Just curious but do you use a Cooler Master case? No it was a big fuckoff Lian Li server case.
