TheGamingBarrel Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Mine was a 4690K That was a poo clocker so I put 1.7V Through its cache Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme Addict Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Golden E8500, beginning of C2D 45nm, I found a golden one, in 15 minutes we did 3rd place in CPU-Z (Duck had WR back than), it was my first LN2 session and after 15 min cpu dead. I should stop overclocking than ^^ no idea why I had mental breakdown and pushed more for XOC :banana: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlife Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 First cpu I lost was a golden A8-6600k that was killed when my boards NB mosfets blew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Scott Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 XP-M 2800+ @3.2 on dice. 2.3v was a wee bit too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaPaKaH Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 The only CPU losing which I still regret to this day is this 3000+ Venice: CPU-Z Validator 3.1 Had to learn the hard way that DFI NF4 boards don't reset the Vcore to defaults once you swap the CPU. The only CPU(s) I lost during an actual benchsession were Q3FE / 3005F Gulftowns, but those were disposable back in the day, so no real regrets.

phobosq Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I killed a Duron 1200 in 2003 when I turned a computer on with my finger touching the core. It burnt for another week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skulstation Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 One of my first cpu's thad i kild befor joining hear was a xp 2500+ but no regret whit this kill. the only i reale regret is killing a xeon x5690 cpu on wc.befor i have a second wone to join the party RIP +5ghz xeon cpu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObscureParadox Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 The first CPU I lost was a 6700K that I killed by delidding, am yet to fully kill a CPU during an LN2 session, really lucky in that regard, or maybe I just don't push hard enough........

basco Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 only es chip i ever bought was a 980x and after 1 bench only 1 core is active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) This happened just now. I was DOA Testing some s462 boards. After 6 boards not booting I put one I knew that was working on the bench and tried the CPUs. Turns out all 5 CPUs I tested on the previous boards are dead. After further investigation, it's one of the MSI that is responsible. It killed 6 CPUs. Hammer time!

Gunslinger Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Killed a couple of retail 980X CPU's from back in the day, RMA replacements were never as good as the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say if you treat hardware correctly, killing it is quite difficult even under extreme conditions. The only times I've killed CPUs was when either a) I was too aggressive increasing the voltages or b) I continued benching even though I knew there were condensation issues. In both scenarios it would have been smarter to warm up, leave the setup to rest and get back to it the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this is why I've never killed a CPU or at least a good excuse for not pushing enough Why the hell did I ever post anything, just killed a damn CPU on phase..... Sods law..

I can check this one off the list, lost boards and chips doing it. as well as "use asrock z170 oc formula board" chip killer board right there.

Crew Leeghoofd Posted August 23, 2016 Crew Share Posted August 23, 2016 I still have nitemares about the two 5.7 pi16M stable 2600Ks that Gamer killed in under 2 secs on air, due to a short between the motherboard and his cooler's backplate...

phobosq Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 as well as "use asrock z170 oc formula board" chip killer board right there. There should be achievement for it, "survive an LN2 session on Z170 OCF", killed 3 CPUs for me, including one instakill on 6600k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knopflerbruce Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I wonder if the first one killed during benching might have been my golden E8700. I'm trying very hard to remember... but only motherboards used to die frequently. I did however kill a good Opteron 185 because I had static on my fingers. 4 red LEDs, and from that day I don't touch CPus without touching a PSU or something first First PSU death would be an interesting thread... had a couple die with a bang lately, though not OC related. You REALLY remember that stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpower Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I once put 12v to i7-920 Processor through it and it died instantly. and another 3930k dropped it from my hand while lapping. that still works without any issues tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruwrc Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 FX 8150 on ln2 8/8t 1.95v f10 enter.bye. it was a nice chip 7ghz+ valid with all cores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, that sucks as I've put 2v+ through a number of piledriver CPU's without issue and even 2.2v on a a6-6420k which made the difference between highest clocked 2 core vs not I'm guessing maybe your board couldn't take it with 8c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireKillerGR Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 4770K during AOOC 2013 (probably ln2 switch/bios) and another one some months later (pcie controller died if I recall correctly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
