As I always do I test the new cpu to see if it works my motherboard is an p7h55-m Asus, and it has a core i5 650. I went to buy a new cpu core i7 870 for my motherboard and yes it’s compatible, but when I got it and installed it I turned it on and for a few seconds where my main atx plug from the psu around it not directly smoked after a few seconds! What can I do am I able to use it again or do I have to buy a new one 🙁
