Default Enter the Reap-hoe!

Yah, we have been visited by the Grim Reap-hoe of Hardware. We know him well. His exploits are told to younger overclockers to scare them at night.

He walks among us.

We know his rig.

We have seen the terror he has caused.

His name is Chrome_Rust.

His latest victim is my Chaintech Zenith, whic hran for approximately 40 minutes before he got his hands on it. I'm disassebling tomorrow for RMA, no BIOS. Killed it doing the exact opposite of what you should do overclocking. He threw in a processor (my good 3000+), tried to boot at 10X250 without even seeing if it would recognize, and did all this with the fan off the heatsink.

Fear the reap-hoe.

I think he needs to be labled like cigarettes so we know how hazardous he is to our computer's health.

I just call him Stanley. Got lots of time to talk when you're chained up next to him.

Hardware killers are to be shot on sight... women only are allowed to be chained up. Then perferably in a bedroom, not the basement... unless she's really kinky. Wait - where was I going with this again?

Ohh yah, back on topic. Friends don't let friends have Chrome touch their rigs it seems.

Nice try Duck, but you don't have a basement...... not in the Ft. Walton area.
But I understand you were just trying to get your point across.
How about something like, "I'll have to ask the guy whom we have chained down nekkid on a fireant mound with honey dripped all over him on a 96 degree in the shade day." ?

Dead.

All of it. The Zenith never came back, and the DFI grounded out. It may come back, but I'm out.

Anybody wanna buy a 3000+?

I e-mailed Chaintech.

This is my Eleanor. I'm too pissed to let myself give up now.

Besides, this will be pimp if I quit blowing **** up, and get other people's hands out of my system. Good policy of only you work on it-then you can only blame yourself.

But I will blame myself less when the coffee's done.
