Please post your CPU, OC, if turbo was on, voltage, cooling, mobo (w/ revision), and symptoms:
I want to see if this is a Phenom II X6, MSI or some other trend going on ( maybe Turbo Core ramping voltage up too high).
I'll start:
1055T at 3.8 Ghz w/ turbo set to 15.5 with 1.4 V (turbo ramps up to 1.45V)
Corsair H50, maximum load 52C
MSI 890GXM-G65 rev 1.0
Was priming LinX and after 2 runs it powered down like it was in sleep mode. After normal troubleshooting it would power on for a fraction of a second and then die. If you removed the 4 pin power connector to the motherboard it would power up but not POST. Same behavior with everything removed including CPU and RAM. Blown PWM/MOSFETS seems to be the autopsy results. I've been overclocking for over a decade and this is the first motherboard in all that time that has died from overclocking. I don't think 1.4V on water is extreme.
