    Question How would I know if my 13th gen i7-13700K CPU is faulty ?

    I'm using the most current BIOS that's available for this board. The only other one available is a beta BIOS and I'm not touching that one.

    Question How would I know if my 13th gen i7-13700K CPU is faulty ?

    I have a very long history with this build. It was built in June of 2023. I upgraded the GPU back in May to a 5070 (my 4070TI that was in there went to another system I have). Started noticing some really abnormal behavior with this PC. So I replaced the cooler and reinstalled the OS. Still...

    Question How would I know if my 13th gen i7-13700K CPU is faulty ?

    Except there's plenty of evidence. We have this thing called Google. I saw that JayZ video that was being discussed which is another reason I'm thinking my CPU is faulty.

    Question How would I know if my 13th gen i7-13700K CPU is faulty ?

    Yeah I saw that video. So I heard back from Intel. I've taken the initial steps. If this doesn't work then I'm just going to cut my losses and go with a 9800X3D setup. Currently trying to find a decent motherboard.

    Question How would I know if my 13th gen i7-13700K CPU is faulty ?

    I've never actually been able to get this PC to do any sort of workload due to all the problems I've had with it. I am going to get the serial number tomrrow and contact Intel and see what I can do.

    Question How would I know if my 13th gen i7-13700K CPU is faulty ?

    On the old cooler it would go to 45'C on startup and never cool down. Which originally led me to believe that the cooler was faulty. Now that has me questioning that it wasn't the cooler.

    Question How would I know if my 13th gen i7-13700K CPU is faulty ?

    Yeah I saw that video which is leading me to believe that my CPU may be the problem. I don't have anything running on that motherboard, it's currently on default. The BIOS I currently have running is 7E03v1F (dated 5/13/25). I tried the beta BIOS, version 7E03v1G1. But that didn't work so I...

    Question How would I know if my 13th gen i7-13700K CPU is faulty ?

    So I've been experiencing problems with my system for the last several months and now I'm seriously wondering if the CPU is the culprit. The problem is that there have been extreme temperature spikes even with the new CPU cooler that I installed. And I recently reinstalled the OS on my system...

    Question Brand new 5070 is not outputting to DisplayPort, HDMI port works fine ?

    I'm planning on doing a full reformat of my primary SSD (which is a 2TB Samsung 990 Pro) and reinstall of Windows, but I won't get to that until next week. I'm hoping that solves most of the issues. As for the BIOS, I'm currently using 7E03v1F (dated 5/7/25), which is the most current version...

    Question Brand new 5070 is not outputting to DisplayPort, HDMI port works fine ?

    So I have a brand new, barely used Gigabyte 5070 that is having difficulty outputting to DP. Now I'm not sure what version of DP cable my monitor has or supports. It runs perfectly fine on HDMI, which I'm currently using, but does not seem to want to output to DP. My monitor is an NZXT Canvas...

    Question Good alternatives to H100i ?

    That's the way most AIOs are these days. Especially if they have any sort of RGB or video screen.

    Question Good alternatives to H100i ?

    That's from 3 years ago. Is there an updated list somewhere? If money were no object, I'd go for the Tryx Panorama but that's like $350.
