Hello all,
So about a month ago i noticed in one of my games i am playing that i was having hard locks that lasted anywhere from a minute to 10 minutes. I did the usual checks of background programs and whatnot, nothing out of place. Then when i went to look at temps, my CPU was at 95°C at one point before the load backed down. I panicked and did a quick hardware rundown. I noticed my AIO pump wasn't running. I hurried and replaced it right away and the temps are all back in the green.
Fast forward to today and i am still having the same issue within the game but the temps are all well below 55°C now. I am wondering if that point of intense heat didn't possibly hurt my processor or the CPU socket on the Mobo?
I have done several things to try and fix it like:
1. Run intel's cpu diagnosis tool (it's passed at least 5 runs of the test)
2. Pull the cpu out of the socket and inspect for any physical or visual issues (none)
3. Kept a temp monitoring program up religiously since the issue (nothing abnormal)
The times the hard locks occur is during the game i am playing, which is Warframe. From what i have heard it is a little on the CPU resource heavy side. Where as another game like Overwatch (which is a lot better optimized) seems to just do little half second freezes at random points while playing.
Also while not playing games it does it too. The most common are during shutdowns it freezes on the shutdown screen with the circles spinning, i usually have to manually shut it down by holding the power button at that point. The weird thing is that it only does that like 3 times out of 10 shutdowns.
I'm at a loss because i would rather not go out and get a new CPU just to learn its the Motherboard acting up or replace the Mobo to learn the CPU is the culprit.
Specs are:
Windows 10
6700k
MSI Z170a xgaming titanium
Water cooler
Formerly: Corsair h115i
Now: EVGA CLC 280
I have also tested all of my other hardware by swapping a lot of it in and out with old stuff but an extra CPU and Mobo of that size aren't readily available to me :/
Thanks in advance for any tips!
