Well my PC just died today... I guess the mainboard is causing it :( Perhaps it caved under the weight of the Copper :p

That's bad news. How did it happen?

Not sure. The system worked fine till yesterday. It simply didn't POST anymore... I don't think that the TRUE Copper has anything to do with it though ;) Still, I'll probably go back to the normal eXtreme for the replacement board...

Did you put your cpu uncore to -0,5 V?

I didn't even modify those voltages. Everything was still set to auto. Changes the BCLK, increased the multi and normal vcore.

Well asus and intel both warned that you should keep the ram voltage and uncore voltage low to avoid killing your cpu(or in rare cases your mobo).

Doubt that it's what killed your mobo though, but just to be on the safe side remember to change those voltages when you get your new motherboard. :)

Yeah but I never went higher than 1.65V on the memory. That's what the recommendation is.

i have the true 120 not the black one and it is too big to fit in my case P190 with that huge 200mm fan in the door.
i have heard it can be attached to the outside of the door but can the fan do it´s job if it is removed and put on the door instead of inside?

well i´d like the true inside but guess i have to let it collect dust tried to sell it bu none wanted it :(

is the copper so heavy it break the mainborad? since there comes alot of stuff to keep it from breaking the mainboard?

Bought another P6T today (couldn't wait for the replacement board) and I'm using the normal eXtreme again. Just to be on the safe side...

I'm not sure if the Copper killed my mainboard but using the Copper seems a bit risky now...
