    [SOLVED] do CPU's of the same type have thermal variation?

    Title. I have two 2600's both at 1.375v 1.2soc One is under a darkrock 4 the other a kraken x61, x61 has kryonaut grizzly paste, dark rock has the stuff that comes with the cooler. I used the pea drop method for paste application on both. The Dark rock keeps it 2600 about 5 degrees cooler...

    Silicone lottery, heat

    As far as I've understood it. The silicone lottery has been about how much frequency you can get out of your CPU with the minimum amount of voltage. But can it also be thermal based? As in your CPU gets hotter than most under the same conditions? I have 1.36 volts going through my 2600 with a...

    Ah. The drive fits perfectly. I hope I haven't [watch your language] the slot.

    Crosshair 7 m.2 not working.

    Edit: it's an X470 board. There are two m.2 slots on the title motherboard. The one below the graphics card works on mine. The one below doesn't. I have two m.2 drives. They both work on the bottom slot. They both do not work on the top slot. There's a heat sink that goes on top of the m.2...

    Cpu died while installing ubuntu

    Yeah. Unplugged it, held down clear cmos button, took out the battery. Currently have another psu plugged in with the same result. It's bizarre. You would think a CPU would die while being stressed. Not just when installing an OS. Could also be the motherboard?

    Cpu died while installing ubuntu

    It could be coincidence. It might have just been its time. But my PC hard crashed and went into a boot loop while installing Ubuntu. I've stripped it down to one stick of ram. No drives, pci devices. It powers on and my Asus x99-a displays a 00 error code and the CPU led is on. I was in the demo...

    Wont go past bios splash with alt psu

    Tried to restore a z68 2500k system with a new power supply. Had nothing plugged in except for CPU, ram and psu. I believe the motherboard is dead. As nothing happens when I turn the power on. I tried my new 650w silverstone gold rated psu in my x99 system. It powered up, but wouldn't get...

    All usb 2 ports malfunctioning. Usb 3.0 working

    Just wondering if this thread can get a little more love? I've tried the solutions posted above. I can't for the life of me find someone on all of the Internets with the same problem.

    All usb 2 ports malfunctioning. Usb 3.0 working

    I have implemented that solution minus the re-start. I'll give it a go. Devices used: Storage devices, HID, webcams, lighting for the NZXT Kraken, HTC phone, headphone amps. All of these things used to be plugged into usb 2.0 ports, and they all stopped working overnight, and continue not to...
