so bad news on the server being back up guys. I picked up the motherboard MSI sent as a replacement today and it was in a beat to hell box, when i opened it the board looked okay, but the socket protecter was off, i thought must have jarred loose in shipping.... after all hooked up powered up nothing happened.... checked cables.. light was on on the motherboard power button but no where else. shut down powered off unplugged re plugged everything. swapped psus just in case this time, same thing, only white smoke and a pop with a burning smell... so placing a new RMA.... the submission said the serial number was invalid, but thats whats on there, so ill send them a photo ... though that may slow things down. Im hopping it did not damage the cpu the server uses or the stick of ram that was in for testing.... that said im a bit pissed right now with MSI... and its going to be about 3-4 weeks from today before the normal server returns.... i hope we can get it back up for the 2 year anniversary... i had just bought new noctua fans to replace the coolermaster fans on its tower cooler.... depending on the reply from MSI monday/tuesday i may just buy a new motherboard ..... i was holding of on building a windows server for my place until the next socket came out, but i suppose i could keep everything on lga 1155 .... need to find a good mATX board... with all 4 pin headers...
