I have a 4690k, I used to run it in a Gigabyte Z97 SOC Force mobo. Overclocked great, using my Corsair H80 cooler, good temps. The mobo tho started showing problems with the USB and eventually ALL rear panel USB ports stopped working.
I live in Brazil, and the warranty for it works slowly, I'll have to send it to 'em and after 3-4 weeks they send me back another or mine refurbished. I cant and am not willing to spend all that time with no computer, so I bought another mobo, a cheaper one, MSI Gaming 5, I need SLI support because I own two GTX 970's. Today I made the switch.
I DID NOT FORMAT OR UNINSTALL ANY PROGRAMS. Just shut down the PC, and switched it all. After a lenghty process, it was done. I made something different this time, I was one Molex short and connected the exhaust/radiator fans directly on the mobo instead of the Corsair thing that goes directly on the CPU. Maybe thats the problem. Ill try this.
So yeah, was idling at 71ish Celsius! Idling!
