PC won't post after 5GHZ Overclocking on fx-6300!

[Kitchysan]

I'm just a complete amateur in Overclocking and I just watched a quick tutorial on overclocking to 5ghz for my FX-6300:

SPECS:
Wooden floor and table, PC sits under table

thermaltake armor mx+ old case

EVGA Supernova NEX650G
650w "80+ Gold" PSU

AMD FX-6300

EVGA GTX-970 SSC

Corsair vengeance 16GB (2 x 8gb) RAM

MSI 970A SLI Krait Edition

(Btw I accidentally put my laptop
HDD (while it was on and everything was plugged and running) on top of my GPU backplate and Jesus, a capacitor (I think my dad said it looked like one) burned right in front of me and I turned EVERYTJNF IMEDIATWLY OFF) but PC works perfectly fine after, it all happened YESTERDAY)

I used to run on the AMD stock cheap cooler, now I have the:
THermaltake water 3.0 AIO cooling system

Lastly, I run Windows 10 Professional 64x bit

On my:

SeaGate "FireCuda" 2TB (8gb flash?) SSHD

I did exactly as everything that was listed here and "saved and restart" the configuration and turned around and just went straight to the bathroom for a couple mins, after I came back the monitors were on but the lights were flashing on the power button as if it were asleep.

Pressing on it to assume it WAS asleep, nothing! It woouldnt turn on and did other things like holding and pressing the reset button.. nothing happens!

I carefully touched (turning off the power from the PSU and touching the Chassis to ground myself) the water cooler radiator, MOBO heatsinks and GPU. Obviously the heatsinks felt like fire, radiator felt like a 1 min touchable microwaved ceramic bowl with oatmeal in it

I then put my window fan (those basic window fan) (intake and/or exhaust), both on HIGH and let it blow air on my PC directly on the motherboard without the case cover for about 5 mins and everything felt warm enough to touch.

I did a series of troubleshooting, ranging from: resetting CMOS with the plastic thing to flip it around (just as it says on the booklet) and even tried turning it on while it was flipped.. nothing happens EXCEPT.. my one LED fan on the front flickers ONCE and that's it. Nothing turns on... I tried removing the battery installed on the MOBO and turning it on, doesn't work either.

Also running on just one 8gb stick out of my dual rank 16GB, doesn't work either.

As well as reseating the CPU, carefully removing the watercooling block. Nothing

Unplugged alll the case wires (USB, audio, and including the fans and water cooler. Nothing


All of the resulted in the fan LED light flickering once.

Sadly...

I think my CPU got fried :/

When you say you saw a capacitor burn, was this on your GPU, on the HDD or somewhere else? I find it hard to believe that a capacitor burned and everything worked fine after that.

Also, 5 ghz on a FX is not impossible, but is not done easily, nor can be done on any FX. Some CPU's just won't be able to handle it. Also your motherboard only has a 4+1 phase, which means you propably will not be able to reach 5 ghz.

To troubleshoot disconnect everything except the CPU and ram, and try to post. If successful, gradually reconnect everything one by one until it boots properly or you come across an error.

You've probably fried your motherboard. Whether your CPU fried with it remains to be seen. Complete the basic troubleshooting procedures and the process of elimination so you can determine what's wrong.

This is why we all recommend shying away from 970 chipset motherboards for overclocking or running octacore CPU's. 4 phase or 4+1 phase power delivery is incredibly weak.

On a side note, you can certainly reach 5ghz on an FX, if you run a single module only, really loose ram timings, and some serious water cooling. I got there on my FX8320 before I burned it up, setting my motherboard on fire (it was an Asus M5A97). Thank god for keeping a fire extinguisher on hand. On LN2, I'm sure you can go way further.

Hello! Thankyou so much for replying. I figured it was an actual IC called "P06P03A" and would my computer still boot up without it? If I removed it?
