Hey Guys,

I had a major meltdown at firtst I thought it was the PSU but I tested that and it checked out.. Now the main issue I have is when I try and start it the fans on the case do not come on.. Now they light upo as well so I know for sure they are not coming on so I figured the mobo is fried..

Now My Main concern as well is did I fry the CPU as well.. I don't have another motherboard to test it in how can I test this CPU to make sure it is not dead too.. I was going to RMA the board but I goofed and bent some pins on the board so that is on me and I need to get a new one now way out of that..


I am not going to have some more money for a while so I am just wondering if a PC Shop would test the CPU itself? I guess without a motherboard there is no real way to test a CPU?? I would like to know now so when I go and get the new board if I need a CPU I can get it all in one trip..

Well sort of I updated BIOS and when I redid the numbers I put in 1.26v it should have been 1.36 and it died.. I had to reboot and when it came back on it did not come back on.. So I either fried the CPU, Motherboard or both still not sure..

I think when I goto Microcenter I will see if they can test the CPU while I am there.. but that will not be for a few weeks.. So right now I am on my Nephews PC which will tie me over until I can sort this mess out..

Either way I know the Motherboard is shot because I accidently bent a few pins in it when taking the CPU out.. so that for sure is shot.. I just hope the CPU did not get damaged as well

It died because you put in a LOWER voltage?

well yes it was set to 5.0ghz and I guess it wanted more and caused a problem.. undervolting can be as bad as overvolting in some cases wink

Well I got the new mobo today and it fired right up. so the chip did not take any damage which is a good thing..

Glad I am back up and running now to wait until I get the activation for nThusim and I will be all set..
