Hi

Case: Corsair 4000X
Motherboard: ASUS Z490-F
Processor: Intel - 11700
Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB RS 32GB (2 x 16GB)
CPU Cooler: CORSAIR iCUE H60i RGB PRO XT Liquid CPU Cooler
PSU: Corsair CX-F RGB Series CX750F RGB 750W 80 Plus Bronze Certified Modular ATX Power Supply
GPU: Leadtek WinFast RTX 3060 HURRICANE LHR 12GB GDDR6 Gaming Graphics Card - White Edition

We did windows installation and driver updates everything brand new build. But now we are getting random shut down or restarts after everything was fine. The moment you start Heaven it crashes. Trying to play R6 Siege it crashes. We have checked every cable every fan. We reinstalled windows and drivers. Could it be that the motherboard doesn't really recognize the CPU? What else could it be?

Solved the problem! Well the Asus Z490-F doesn't support the i7 Intel 11700 CPU at all even if they said so and updated the BIOS it just didn't work. Had to move to a Z590 motherboard. So don't even try to pair those two together.

Asus Rog Strix Z490 F Gaming does support ALL 11gen intel cpus, i have the same board and i have updated the latest bios and it does works :)
I also have i7 11700 but KF version.
As i could see all 11gen cpus should work without problems :)
If you want i can make you ss from system :D
