My 2600K just died 😭

This is unfortunate. I had just started running this thing again after getting my 980 AMP Extreme back that I had let my friend borrow for a couple of years.

 

It's done great for weeks. Everything was perfect. It wasn't OC'd or anything. I knew something was up a few days ago. I was playing WoW and it kept freezing up on settings it should handle fine. The 16GBs of RAM were barely being used. Tonight I got in from work and the wifi adapter kept cutting out. Then it was freezing up when I tried to open the network settings...just real weird random stuff I've always experienced with dying CPUs. I restarted the thing and it was working fine. I went to finish downloading a WoW update and there it went. I tried to start it back up and my Z68 FTW was giving the dreaded "C" code. I prayed it was the cheap Cougar PSU so I hooked up the HX750I from my 8350 / Fury Nitro build. Kept doing it. I took the water block off and checked to see if my pins somehow decided to bend themselves. They're all great lol. Everything else works. Fans spin like crazy. Everything is powered on. RAM is seated well. I have absolutely no reason to believe it's the board...especially with the previous warning signs. Honestly I'm glad it wasn't the board...things a future wall hanger.

 

Just sad lol. I loved this 2600K. It was the first CPU ever where I was blown away by the performance when it came out.
