Hi Guys
I build a new PC in Nov 2020, spec is below.
Anyway after 1 year and 8 months the CPU is <censored> faulty. It started with PC restarts every couple of weeks, then every hour, then random freezes.
I built a new PC, tested that it worked perfectly well, drop in my suspect 5950x and got a freeze after 1 hour.
I've never had a CPU fail. What happened? It was really well cooled and never went over approx 75 degrees. I didn't overclock it.
What's going on?
Cheers, Andrew
