Hi everyone. I am using Q6600 for several years. Two days ago, I disassembled the whole system and did a cleaning, took out the CPU from the socket for inspection, re-apply thermal paste.
After assembled the system back, it didn't turn on. At last, I figured out one of the socket PIN was bent and touched another PIN.
I managed to repair the PIN. Then the system booted and worked fine, without any hang up or random re-boot during my two-day use.
However, I notice some strange readings of the system. The Core Voltage is 1.98 V, which according to Intel, is way above the 1.5 V limit.
The 5 V, 12 V are also more than 5% more than the rated voltage. I remember before the cleaning, it is about 1-2% variation.
In addition, the temperature of CPU at idle and full load is 10 deg Celsius higher than before.
I am curious whether the CPU or Motherboard or PSU is broken?
I have anther PSU at home, can be used for troubleshooting. But I am afraid of collateral damage, will the PSU be affected and go broken if the motherboard / CPU was already fried ?
