chickenwings14 · Mar 6, 2017

so I swapped out my 6600k for a 6500 plus cash because I know I can also OC the i5 6500 so now as I download and update the bios and configure everything to OC the bclk and now after I reboot it nothings happen and now it stock on 3.2GHz.

I downloaded the bios update here

and also after swapping out my 6600k to 6500 the b1 ram slot now wont work

my pc specs:
core i5 6500
G.skill ripjaws 5 16gb
Galax gtx 970 HOF
Seasonice m12II evo edition 620watts

If one of your ram slots does not work then I suspect that in your swapping of CPUs you may have bent a pin in your motherboard's CPU socket. Can you check the socket for that? Even the tiniest bit off can cause issues.

oh ----! there are bent pins really on the motherboard, I thought it was okay cause the pc still works but have some issues though

No its not ok at all, as clearly you are seeing the issues related to them.

It IS possible to fix them but you need to be VERY precise, use a magnifying glass and GENTLY use a stiff object to move them back into place.

MSI may fix this for you under warranty (or you may want to consider paying to have it fixed) as its easy to mess up.

Also please watch the language here.

I tried fixing bent pins before and it was succucessful, but it was only a cheap mobo I dont know if I have the guts to fix these bent pins.

A call to MSI may be in your future then. Its worth a shot, maybe they will warranty it for you. If not its gotta be cheaper to have them fix it than buy a new board.
