Generally each frame you render, whether it be 4k or 1080 as the same amount of items on screen/physics calculations to be done. These are done by the cpu. Thus, when the GPU, which basically just renders the frame can render frames as fast as possible, it leads to the cpu having more work to do as it does work on a per frame basis instead of the gpus per pixel (which can vary per frame)

Thanks for the reply. 1. I know, its rare, and the fact it worked with the second mob too confuses me, but 2 motherboards failing the same way? That sounds odd. I already sent off my mobo, but I guess I could still check out the cpu 2. Yes.. Im pretty sure. Changed it from something I cant remember to profile 1 and it default set it to 2400. I also tried to clear the cmos with pretty much every change I made. 3. As for the backup bios, Im not comfortable with that third suggestion (tried it the first time actually but it didnt work, but support said the board was fine so I guess it didnt do anything to it), but actually stumbled upon that page before and tried that. As for flashing the bios, well, given that^ you know..

Your reply indicated that you did not read the post or the full title. My response was not intended to be offensive, I was alerting you to the fact that in my post, I already listed that I already went through your suggestion along with other troubleshooting steps listed to avoid being counterproductive in having to restate what I have and havent tried..

Ive tried all sorts of sequences to turn it on, including waiting over night, clearing the cmos etc. I think I know what youre talking about with the 3 boot loops to restore bios settings, but those 3 boot loops happened after the update,,they displayed something to the screen and when they finished, it just boot looped with nothing over and over again.

With respect, I listed a lot of details in this post and the post linked in it and id appreciate it very much if you would read it. Ive very much already tried it. with 2 separate kits even.

Following this thread (specs in signature, please look at previous link for context as ive explained my troubleshooting there) Where I had a boot loop issue that first appeared after months of use with no memorable changes apart from an windows update triggering this boot loop without post or output then again after a few days of use with my replacement motherboard, Im at a loss at what to do. 5 Points: Only 5 components were connected outside of the case (PSU,CPU,CPU cooler,Motherboard, Hdmi monitor from integrated graphics hdmi port). I have tried another psu I have that worked before also and my current psu worked fine for months before the motherboard started boot looping and worked after I got a replacement till it started boot looping as well, so It makes me think the psu is not at fault. My cpu has worked for the same amount of time without failure. It has always ran cool with my aftermarket heatsink mounted as per the instructions with an appropriate amount of thermal paste (top mostly covered with none leaking over the side and definitely none in the socket. Speaking of the socket, now the second time, unlike the first, I took pictures of the inside of the socket and found it to be immaculate, both with the backside of the cpu and the socket itself. No visible bent pins or burn markings on either. This is of course to go with all the trouble shooting tried in the previous thread. Gigabyte said my previous rma board tested fine (as in it worked for them) despite the continuous bootloops for me. My thoughts so far, are that I firstly, would love to be playing Battlefield 1 right now, and secondly, I have no idea what to do and cant afford to just buy random parts with the hope that they are the culprit. My first plan of action is to call a local computer store (a store where I bought my graphics card (1070 ftw) and ask to use some of there test parts to see whether or not my cpu or motherboard are at fault, though Im not sure how willing they would be to do that. Another option, likely done after the first, is that I could take the shipping pre paid RMA Gigabyte support have offered me, which will likely take 2-3 weeks to arrive, and if they are correct, will end up with the same problem. I know that cpus failing are extraordinarily rare, and I think they fail differently than this (like they just stop working completely, so Im utterly confused, as like I said in the linked thread, there are no beeps from the motherboard speaker( I specifically bought to test this (there were beeps when I got it first a few days earlier)) no matter what I try (ram here, ram there, no ram (supposed to get a beep but nothing). Ive now been without my computer for more than a month and I just dont get it.

Tried a second psu, same issue. I really dont know how it could be the cpu since those rarely dont work and everything worked perfectly until the update.

I actually dont. I did have to replace my first power supply so I guess I could rma it since I still havent, but I will say that everything turned on like it usually does and there have never been any problems with my highly reviewed powersupply.

Sooo... Ive now disconnected literally everything from my mobo except the cpu, ram, powersupply and 1 hdmi lead going from the integrated graphics to 1 monitor. I then plugged out the power cord, turned the psu off, took out the cmos battery, and waited for 2 minutes (1 minute more than the manual said. Still reacts exactly the same way. Turns on for about 3 seconds, and turns off without output.

Specs Problem: Updated to windows 10 anniversary edition. Computer went into a bootloop where no video showed up and it rebooted continuously after about 3 seconds. Unplugged all storage from mobo, boot still continues, no video. Took out cmos battery and put it back in. Still no video or bios. Unplugged all accessories, no change. Graphics card lights up, fans spin, but computer doesnt do anything and turns off 3 seconds later. Im so confused. How could a windows update cause this..... Notes: Ultra fast boot was enabled on my mobo before this (not sure if that has something to do with it) Was running f4 bios.

As Airdeano said, the core individual temperatures no longer show. They arent accurate. Only the package temp works.

Do you know of any bench marking software that doesnt use avx? Or even what the disadvantages of not having it are? Does cinebench?

huh.. so with cinebench I only get a score of 597 despite the normal score being 544. Thats not a linear improvement given the i56500 normally gets 544

Is there any cpu bench recommended for this? Im thinking maybe I can compare the stock 6500 to this

All the cores say 100 (guides say they will stop reading correctly) but the package and cpu stay at 44 with fans running at max. I dont get it either.
