CPU - 7600K
MoBo - Asrock Fatal1ty GamingK6 Z270
Ram - patriot viper 4 8GB x2
Just like the title says...
I was delidding a 7600K with a rubber mallet. Held the CPU by the PCB with hand, had the iGPU side of IHS against a solid edge and was hitting on the SystemAgent/MemoryController side of the CPU PCB.............. several times but it didn't budge like IB did. So I changed my mind and decided to just see if it can be OCed high enough as is.
(I have delidded two Ivy Bridges with the same method and tool so please note that I didn't go crazy before giving up)
When I tried it with just CPU and RAMs, the MoBo won't post and gives CPU error code and memory error and keeps cycling (00, 15, 30 and 4C).
After reinstalling CPU(haha), making sure no pins are bent, I also tested each ram in each slots (yes I tested both sticks, 1 at a time, in all 4 slots) I came to conclusion that both sticks of RAM are fine, but two inner(CPU side, A1, A2) slots give me that error code cycling.
In Windows 7 when I force them into single channel mode and use both sticks it says 16.0GB (15.7 available). With a single stick it was 8GB(7.70 avail).
Is there a way to know for sure if it's the MoBo or CPU causing A1 A2 RAM slots to make MoBo not POST?
Also I'd just like to ask what you guys think is most likely bad before I RMA a wrong part. (well in case of CPU I'd just have to buy another one - _-)
