Vaporizing I7

OHHHHH sorry !!:doh:

It would be nice If anyone who has experienced processor dead/half dead could share his opinion why and what actually happen. What was the cause and effect and how was it diagnosed?

 

I have had 1000's of laptop/PC through my hands over that last nearly 20 years

CPU failure in my experience is rare (only ever encountered it a couple of times) , the system was dead untili I put in a new same CPU then all was well

Put duff one back in to be sure and system dead again

Have hand a bunch of problems with mobo's eg totally dead, or intermittant power offs (everything else as swapped out for know good working parts

 

Is one of your cores maybe damaged ? and that is why you are getting it to boot, generally dead CPU mean no boot at all, certainly not getting to windows level of working

[BitMaster]

Yeah, dead CPU are indeed rare, I only had 2 verified casualties LAST YEAR :cry:

 

Tho both died through heavy overclocking, at least the 2600k, not so sure what killed my 6700k

but I think Asus Auto-OC fried it. Anyway, Intel gave me a new one in return.

Christ on a bike, that is a lot

 

Latent ESD damage maybe ? or far too many volts pushed through it ?

not at all, the sandy i7-2600k ran at 4.8g-1.350v rocksolid for like 2 years, max was 5g at 1.40v, both is moderate and not considered on the far side. Cooling was appropriate too. I use this heatkiller-iv block since i oc'ed that cpu.

 

the 6700k was brand-new, worked for like 2 days and died when I ran the Auto-Tool from Asus, it died at 4.7g !!! 4.7 is not high enough to burn thru either. I sent everything back back then and moved to z270/7700k and also got different ram, 3200-->3600. ever since, the rig rocks hard again. the boards i used on those 2 6700k's I had all went nuts, 3 boards total, 1 msi m9 and 2 x asus m9e, all 500+€ boards, all failed miserably. Since then I try to stay away from overloaded ultra-oc boards, they have too many dependencies involved, too many things can go wrong, and they did go wrong. even had a 4th board that time, asus x99-ws/ipmi, failed, bricked the ipmi Fw during flashing, the asus m9xe bricked its intel lan Fw when flashing, etc..

I have flashed hundreds and hubdreds of bioses, but never had such bad luck as last year around same time, 4 boards 4 failures, all rma, +2 6700k cpu.

 

I once had 3 DOA Fritz!Box routers from 1&1 in a row, like a 1 in a million chance , but hey...i had such bad luck, #4 worked but my customer and luckily also friend was severely angry at 1&1.

 

there's a ~3% failure rate roughly among all new IT devices !

Wow, you have some weird death to electonics touch about you

Then again, I avoid asus boards like the plague, too many have come into me with faults
