Man, I hope my Hotel will have running water next week! LOL Well, not sure Patricia appreciate the smell! EDIT: Sorry for the Ninja edits, I still have personality troubles

No water since Monday and it's not back yet... There's no fun to take shower with 1.5L bottles at ambient temperature! #Truestory

Not sure I like the direction this thread is taking

This can also happen when socket is deformed.

Thanks for the tip Splave dad! I bent back CPU with heatgun and it's ALIVE again! I guess some pins were not touching CPU anymore causing 00 post code

In my case I really do think CPU bent a little bit more session after session by heating it up too much. I didn't think 60°C XTU could do any damage since it's below operating temperature I get at 4.8G aircooling for that bench. At least I could finish guide but "thermal shock" was probably too much Hopefully I have better air CPUs that "might" scale on cold...

Thanks mate! v1.2 with Samsung IC basic primaries is done, need to upload it but now it's time for Friday night party!

LOL

Oh really ? My point was that it happen on Skylake because PCB is too thin/shit.

A big guy just told me that he never torch more than -40, then use XTU to +20 and never had issues with PCB bending so it's probably just my fault. However, that kind of s*** never happened to me on 5960X...

Well, on 23 chips delided there was very little casualties (2 ?), but it was done by professionals aka Leeghoofd, Zzolio, Wizerty and Strat So far I only did two myself but they also survived without bending.

I torched from -170 all the way to -20, then run XTU until ~60°C in XTU I think I will now use heatgun for CB and unmount pot cold, let ambient temp heat up CPU.

Yesterday evening I wanted to push Cinebench some more to improve my score. However, CPU refused to take more than 6.1G while it could do 6.3G before... After unmounting (mounting was good), I noticed my chip was slightly more bent than before I start to bench. I didn't try it after session and left it like this until now. I just did and it's f***ing DEAD! #Bendlake I think it's thermal related, I will probably avoid torching pot on this gen. EDIT: And maybe try to glue back IHS too, I was just paranoid that paste would be contaminated by moisture over time...

This: It's from Fugger's FB: "6700K Retail popped" he also commented "Trying to push it too hard, 1.9v @ 6.2Ghz XTU goes pop -155c"

Different issue, but this one also crazy : https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153659222416917&set=a.10150201543751917.312045.537406916&type=3&theater

Well, agreed on support but I'm not worried for the rankings. Once again, wait and see... EDIT: Look what you did me do, I'm defending them now

Updated to v1.1 already Found a typo and modified CPU ST/ST V6 voltages part to add clarification about PLL OC. Link is the same, so if you were reading it just press F5

I got board quite late so it took me some time to release it and it's not totally finished yet, I will update it as fast as possible. Basic primary timings for Samsung IC probably tomorrow.

I doubt this is going to happen. He has no VGA submission at all and I also doubt they are allowed to share their contact. However, what makes you assume it does not even compete in the same league ? Wait and see man... EDIT: It's VERY easy to use EVC on any Lightning for anyone smart

Sorry, I'm tired both are fixed now, thanks!

Oh, yes agreed! Though Haswell CPUs won't bend if you accidentaly drop them from 50-60cm height on the floor while Skylake will bend real bad (which I also agree should not happen in the first place)...

This one has never been used without IHS Roman.
