All is fine; it was a strong typhoon, but not as strong as the previous one.
Not too much debris in the streets, only a couple of areas without power or water. I think @pepinorang had issues with water
No water since Monday and it's not back yet... There's no fun to take shower with 1.5L bottles at ambient temperature!

incest, haha
Not sure I like the direction this thread is taking
-
also sometime 55 not only 00
This can also happen when socket is deformed.
-
you can use a heatgun and bend it back no problem if it bends
Also vivi has the right idea but I use scraper razor blades they have a blunt side.
Seems better if you dont push hard just get the corners loose first then little by little on the sides.
my 2 centsI have 25+ under my belt without death.
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!
-
Too funny, DRam manufacturers upgrade pcb to 10 and 12 layer and worlds biggest manufacturer of CPUs uses old recycled credit cards at thickness of a sheet of paper
LOL
-
That's because the 5960X has a much thicker PCB.
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...

my 4770k lost little bit of mhz every session after i glue it back.
i would stick to fresh paste each session, but be gentle guys!!! cpu's super fragile physically. maybe get your wife to delid and mount
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.
-
you heated up afer the session? to positive temps ?
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...
-
dead link.
this is really convincing me not to delid a cpu.
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"

We can definitely say it won't have the same support, at the least. As it stands now, KPE rules the rankings. We'll have to see how it all lands but it has one hell of a hurdle to clear.
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
-
Perfect timing! Will bench my first session with this board tomorrow
Thank you for the guide. Such guides are invaluable!
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'd send a message to those posting LN2 scores with the 980 TI Lightning and ask who they spoke with to get ABX. All this MSI drama is special and is doing nothing but hurting them. It's bad enough that the 980 TI Lightning doesn't even compete in the same league as the 980 TI Kingpin......
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

The LN2 OC guide links to command center.
FPT link is disabled: "https://goo.gl/GJGlXD – this goo.gl shortlink has been disabled. It was found to be violating our Terms of Service.

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

I will regularly update the Ln2 OC Guide and this support thread with latest BIOS and utility as well as XOC results so stay tuned!
-
Sure, but normally the IHS will keep it straight and/or the socket frame will fix it. So not really a problem for normal people
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)...
-
The PCB is only 0.780 mm thick so it will bend without IHS if you put it back in the socket. just too many pins and the PCB is not thick enough for that.
This one has never been used without IHS Roman.
-
this motherboard is doing well in overclocking memory?
Thread and screenshots are there for you to make your own opinion...
Here is some more: 4x4Gb 3866 Memtest with G.Skill memory (Samsung)
