Hey all,
Been having problems with my 4790k for months now, and just recently upgraded to a new MOBO and picked up a 8700k. So all is well with my new PC, but my I'm trying to be able to lend this problematic CPU to my father's PC (he's got an ancient build, can't run anything)
The whole cause of the failure of this CPU was because for months I didn't realize the cooler had failed and temps were steady at 99C for months.
Is this discoloration burn-marks/evidence of the problem? Is there ANYTHING at this point I can do to it to get it operating normal again? I'm open to any advice since this CPU is not being used, and I'm not banking on getting it to work for pops either.
