Asrock h81 pro btc ax1200 g1840 cpu 8gb ram 80gb ssd Gigabyte r9380 4gb cards non powered risers. I had been runing this setup for over 6 months with no issues. Any ideas as to why he keeps blowing them? http://imgur.com/v9BLWGv Title: Re: asrock h81 boards keep on blowing up Post by: bathrobehero on January 30, 2017, 10:40:21 PM I has recently sold my setup and the gentleman that bought it has blown either 3 or 4 boards within 2 weeks... he said all in the same spot!!!!

Use powered USB risers so the cards pull power straight from the PSU and not from the motherboard.

See I thought soo too, but I used it for months with no issues like that Maybe the other guy overclocked the cards very heavily so they pulled more power. Or maybe he didn't connect the molex cables to the motherboard (which are not needed with powered risers).

Just weird that they blew on him and not me when I had for over 6 monthsTitle: Re: asrock h81 boards keep on blowing up Post by: maxmad_x on January 30, 2017, 11:23:47 PM NEVER use a MOLEX power connector on H81 BTC PRO
ALWAYS USE POWERED USB RISER ... use molex and board burns.. !

Seems to be the same answer on other boards.... just dont understand why it worked for me for so long Title: Re: asrock h81 boards keep on blowing up Post by: Subw on January 30, 2017, 11:49:34 PM all this time you were burning your mobo just luck it happened after you sold them.
Title: Re: asrock h81 boards keep on blowing up Post by: philipma1957 on January 31, 2017, 12:58:03 AM all this time you were burning your mobo just luck it happened after you sold them. very close the op pushed the board. then the board was shipped in the winter the board was cold and the buyer fired it up. and snap crackle pop. crisp mobo Title: Re: asrock h81 boards keep on blowing up Post by: Theneogeo on January 31, 2017, 02:44:45 AM I undervolted and slight overclock, soooo is this for warranty I assume now lol?

he probably abused the maximum load of the motherboard |
