So I'm currently using Aorus Z370 Gaming 7 with i7 8700k how ever I was one of those unlucky people who has one of those i7 8700k that couldn't over clock to 5.0Ghz..
So about a week ago I decided to delid my cpu with liquid metal + Copper IHS upgrade, to see if i could push it a bit further the process seems to went through just fine. I was able to boot and overclock my cpu to 5.1Ghz w/o a problem up untill today, my machine started acting up.
I was able to boot into the bios but not into the Windows 10. So decided to reset my settings in the bios back to bone stock and I was able to boot in the Windows, but however as soon as I reboot or shutdown and start my machine I have to reset my bios settings again to get it working again. When I tried reformatting my OS, I wasn't able to boot my USB Windows installer key either...
Just wondering could it be my cpu is failing after deliding? or the is motherboard failing?
Thanks!
