Hi everyone,
After many years of building pc's (>20) I decied to upgrade my closed loop to a custom loop. While unmounting the cpu (a i7-6700k) I contemplated if that black piece of plastic that was mounted in there with it (like a help thing i tried to use as it was recommended) was correct? I removed it and tried to 'manually' fit the cpu there like I've always done. Went like a charm.
Anyway, so I remove the cpu again to clean it and I see that like 2-3 pins on the motherboards cpu socket are bent. I didnt manage to really bend them back but after finished the custom loop I decied to try and start the cpu up and everything seemed normal except for the fact that the bios warned a new cpu had been installed.
My question is this. After booting into Windows and fire up the app CpuTemp (or is it CoreTemp? Can't remember) it shows the cpu frequency alternate between 800Mhz and 4.2Ghz. After bending the cpu socket pins, is this the result?
What do you think guys? Appreciate any insight I can get into this.
