Do you have 2, or 3 of the PH-F140SP 140mm fans? Pic shows 3 it looks like.

Upgraded to a 4K monitor, have no need for this one. Paid $800+ a couple of years ago for this Dell, it has no issues, no dead pixels. Looking for $200 local to CT/NYC area so I can avoid shipping. If someone must have it, and is willing to pay for shipping, then PM me and I will consider if...

I know, I was forced to learn about it after I started to get BSODs. It is crazy that ASUS let that BIOS go out to retail products. My heart dropped as I read threads talking about how it was such a shitty version, that just so happens to be what shipped with my mobo. I left everything on AUTO...

AUTO and CPU-Z was showing spikes to 1.55 and over

It was too late, AUTO on that BIOS I blame for frying the CPU. Thankfully Microcenter allowed me to RMA it and I now have a new one. The idea that as a user I should know not to trust AUTO is INSANE.

I have had my system up for less than a week and am scared my ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO may have fried/damaged my CPU. I started getting instability issues yesterday and have discovered the stock bios 1001 has been setting my AUTO voltage > 1.40 :( I have been putting off tweaking anything...

Do you have the 1001 BIOS version?

I'm with this guy. Buy a 980ti if you are going to buy anything. I went to a 980 G1 from my 690 and considered it a worthy upgrade. Sli-profiles get old fast.

Hybrid = watercooled. Max temp is 45-50C I was going edit my stock BIOS to raise Max (mW) in power table to bump it up to 120 as a start. Good idea, yes, no?

I am a novice when it comes to using modified BIOS to get better OCing. I currently have a EVGA 980ti hybrid ASIC 76.6% that I have gotten pretty stable at 1501/7800 with just using Afterburner, but want to try and take it further... Adding voltage in Afterburner isn't getting me any better...

Weird, I just received my hybrid over the weekend and don't have any water/pump noise at all. I even have the case open to listen for coilwine and not a peep. Maybe I just got lucky.

What TIM did you use?
