CPU: Intel i5-4670K
GPU: Asus GTX 970
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VI Hero
I am planning to rebuild my gaming PC this week. I am switching my CPU to an Intel i5-7600K and my motherboard to a Gigabyte motherboard. I am planning to temporarily hold on to my GTX 970 until July at the latest since we may not be far off from an update or replacement to the GTX 1000 series from Nvidia. Anyway, I received an error message in late December that my CPU fan was not working properly, I checked the fan and it physically looked to be running properly. I later found out it was not the CPU fan that was malfunctioning. About two weeks ago, I finally found someone at Asus around two weeks ago who helped me make some BIOS adjustments and so far I have received no CPU fan error messages. I was mainly streaming, browsing, the web, and typing papers when I had the CPU fan error message. I have never overclocked my computer in the three years that I have owned it. I have noticed while streaming Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, and CBS that there are occasional freezes in the video while audio is still working properly. My concern is that the CPU may have somehow damaged the video card. Could that have happened in the 2.5 months that I have had this CPU fan error message or could it be something else? I also replaced both my cable modem and WiFi router in the last month. The router uses the new 802.11ac standard while my desktop antenna has the older 802.11n standard. I will be replacing the desktop antenna when I rebuild the PC. Could that also be the cause for my video freezing? Thanks.
