Here's what I can get right now. I may be able to get more pictures tomorrow.

Yes, i made sure it was seated correctly before i secured it, and when i took it back out again I double checked the pins and contacts to make sure i didn't see any bent or damaged ones.

Ok, do you know if that should have killed the motherboard right away or would it be ok to just kinda forget it ever happened and just use it like normal

Let me start by saying that I don't know if this is the correct section for me to be posting this in but it seemed right cause my issue is kinda related to CPU's and motherboards. Anyway, what happened is i built a new gaming rig today with an i7 6700K on a gigabyte G1 mobo. I had everything together and in the case and when i turned it on I saw what looked like a bunch of arcing from the cpu socket general area. There was also a pop sound and a good amount of smoke what came out of the same area (along with the unmistakable smell of burning electronics.). I quickly shut off the power and after a bunch of swearing I decided to take apart the system to see if there were any obviously fried components. After thoroughly going through everything, I couldn't find any obvious signs of damage so i decided to put it back together and try again. I was expecting absolutely nothing to happen, but to my surprise it booted up just fine, and its been running for about 2 hours now without a hitch. I plan to keep on monitoring it, but my question to anyone who might know is: Do you know what it could have been that caused the flash and smoke? and: Should I be concerned even if its running fine now? Thanks

It's showing as $117 for me right now

Yeah, i know, but it was worth a try, its just that it was almost going to let me go through with the transaction when they switched the price back thats got me upset

Nooo, they shut it down while it was in my cart. I think they fixed it now

Wow, I just got the rgb version for literally twice that price maybe a week or two ago.

I just heard NPR report that around 100 people have been killed in the concert hall alone. Not sure if it's confirmed yet but it sounds like it.

BBC just reported that the police have begun to raid the concert hall where the hostages are.

Just say no werto165.... just say no

how much does a polar bear weigh? ......enough to break the ice. Eh, i know thats more of a pick up line but i guessit could be used to PICK UP the OnePlus Two. Right?
