Safe to test possible broken processor in friends computer?

pognick · May 3, 2014

Suspecting processor to be broken, is it safe to test in friends computer? Yes we have the same socket

vinhn · May 3, 2014

Yes, nothing would happen to your friends PC.

RickMa · May 3, 2014

Should be fine. What happened to the processor?

pognick · May 3, 2014

The power went out and the computer wouldn't turn on so I replace the power supply, mobo and still no wouldn't turn on

RickMa · May 3, 2014

I would think that your processor is fine. The system will still 'turn on' as in fans still moving but nothing will display on the screen even without a CPU installed. So you replaced the motherboard already?

pognick · May 3, 2014

Yes I replaced the motherboard (bought a new one because I was recommended to do it on this site) then I RMA'd my power supply so it's brand spankin new.

I also tested the power supply with the paper clip test and worked up fine, I plugged everything in (correctly, I even checked it over several times.)

pognick · May 3, 2014

I'm not sure why I quoted that (new to website)

pognick · May 3, 2014

Anyone? (Bump)

Could you instead test your motherboard with your friend's CPU? What motherboard did you buy and was your GPU tested in another system (if a GPU is required)?

pognick · May 4, 2014

I didn't so much test my gpu because I doesn't need to be in the mobo for it to turn on, my specs are
As rock extreme 4
Intel i7
7950 gpu
G skill ram

pognick · May 4, 2014

Also I JUST received my new mobo from newegg (same as my old one as rock extreme 4) so I don't think there's a need to test it

The goal is to determine if your system works with another CPU, but you can test your CPU in your friend's system if you prefer.

The thing is he is very stubborn and he doesn't feel safe, so I'm making this thread to show him if it's safe or not

pognick :

Well... It's not that difficult to swap processors. The only thing you need to really watch out for is if you're putting it in correctly. Also you have to have some thermal compound.

pognick :

Then get it tested by a shop.
