same thing, using non powered riser with my gpu, ever had any issue, but i always run my gpu at 140watt maximum...
he probably abused the maximum load of the motherboard
Topic: asrock h81 boards keep on blowing up (Read 1099 times)
Thanks for the input
I undervolted and slight overclock, soooo is this for warranty I assume now lol?
all this time you were burning your mobo just luck it happened after you sold them.
very close the op pushed the board. then the board was shipped in the winter
the board was cold and the buyer fired it up.
and snap crackle pop. crisp mobo

NEVER use a MOLEX power connector on H81 BTC PRO
ALWAYS USE POWERED USB RISER ... use molex and board burns.. !

Seems to be the same answer on other boards.... just dont understand why it worked for me for so long

I plug in molex AND use powered risers. Never ever, had an issue.

i have made 100's of h81 board rigs and never once had a bad one. It has to be the non powered risers if i had to put $ on it. Al li use is powered risers.
Yea, cant see what else... Just weird that they blew on him and not me when I had for over 6 months

Well he said he plugged in molex, and he didnt touch settings...... But I can't verify %100
I has recently sold my setup and the gentleman that bought it has blown either 3 or 4 boards within 2 weeks... he said all in the same spot!!!! ( you can see the damage) the setup is as follows
Asrock h81 pro btc
ax1200
g1840 cpu
8gb ram
80gb ssd
Gigabyte r9380 4gb cards
non powered risers.
I had been runing this setup for over 6 months with no issues.
Any ideas as to why he keeps blowing them?

That's a weird spot to burn out but I'm just going to blindly say that your problem is probably coming from the risers.
Use powered USB risers so the cards pull power straight from the PSU and not from the motherboard.
See I thought soo too, but I used it for months with no issues like that
Maybe the other guy overclocked the cards very heavily so they pulled more power. Or maybe he didn't connect the molex cables to the motherboard (which are not needed with powered risers).
