Hello. As title describes my 5820k pooped. I overclocked it a couple months ago using XMP, a basic 4.0Ghz and slight RAM overclock profile which I was happy with and it ran flawlessly RARELY reaching 70C under load. I game on it a lot, CPU intensive games like WoW, 7 days to die, and recently Fortnite.
It was while playing Fortnite that the CPU began to force shutdowns. I used Furmark, HWinfo and CPU-Z to monitor and stress test. CPU never went above 60-62C, but began to force shutdown once it reached 60C both during gaming and stress tests, would run about 2 minutes before forced shutdown. GPU tests ran for an hour at 85C no problems.
My Build:
i7 5820k OC to 4Ghz
ASRock X99 Extreme3
Adata XPG Z1 4x4GB 2133 OC to 2400
Thermaltake TR2-700 700w power supply
I barely started overclocking this system a few months ago, but I had the CPU for almost 2 years. Thankfully still under warranty.
I've also noticed that the hardware info while in UFEI shows my CPU at 50C, but HWinfo in windows shows it at idle 35-37C. is that normal?
Why would my CPU fail at 60C? just bad luck? I did not touch the voltages, just used the given XMP profile and was content.
