    Re: Leaking Kraken AIO Cooler - RMA Journey

    Well, my X99 build has experienced a bit of "scope creep." Or cell division. Or cloning gone wrong. Anyway, here is what I ended up with:

    Phoenix
    i7-5820k
    MSI X99A SLI Krait Edition
    EVGA GTX 980 ACX 2.0 (EVGA Step-Up from 970)
    2x8gb G.Skill DDR4-3200
    Samsung 850 EVO 500Gb M.2
    Kraken X61 (RMA replacement of leaking X31)
    EVGA 850W Platinum P2 PSU
    Fractal Design Define R5

    RMAswell (Hat Tip to MindCrime for the name)
    Xeon E5-2670v3 (12-Core) (Engineering Sample, $300 on ebay)
    Gigabyte GA-X99-UD3P (Bent CPU socket pin carefully straightened)
    EVGA GTX 970 SSC ACX 2.0+ (pulled from another rig)
    G.Skill 4x8gb DDR4
    Samsung 850 EVO 250Gb M.2
    Cooler Master 212 Evo (from an old build)
    EVGA 650W Gold PSU (from an old build)
    Fractal Design Define S

    I also received yesterday a new R9 390X from MSI as an RMA replacement of a 280X I bought on ebay last year. This thing is a BEAST! 8Gb 512-Bit GDDR5, pre-installed backplate, 1100Mhz clock speed. I have it installed in WaspRedux now... it's generating over 5 Million per day on Collatz, along with lots of heat I'd like to run a 280X with it, I have enough overhead on the PSU. But, I don't think the case has enough airflow to keep it from bursting into flames

    Great, these two siblings are confusing all my BOINC projects. They keep getting them mixed up... thinking one machine is the other when they request work. I guess I should have reinstalled OS after swapping motherboards after all!

    Ding Ding Ding! Shandia called it. After installing (yet another) replacement RAM set, Phoenix still would crash when I put load on the GPU. I reinstalled OS... no change. I threw in a budget PSU to see what would happen... yep, stable as a rock. So, I'll be submitting an RMA on the EVGA 850 P2 PSU.

    Wow...well at least the PSU is still under warranty. Come to think of it, i had a similar thing happen when using a Fractal Design 1000W Newton PSU on my 2700K build. Computer would work fine until i opened a web browser or anything requiring graphics, then it would die. Did some checking and the voltages were about 3.5% above spec steadily - no idea if it spiked above that. Replaced that PSU with an EVGA and no problems since. Put the Fractal in my QX9770 build and no problems since. Real head scratcher...
