So i was over a friends house and we love PCs, we reassemble our computers every other week, and this happended:

 

i personally have the 1600 ( which is a silicon lottery winner goes up to 4,2Ghz overclocked) and for fun we attempted to overclock my friend's cpu the 2600. So based on the stock voltages (1.2 core, 1.3 SoC reported by HWMonitor) i tried to overclock to 4Ghz ( stock 3.4 boost 3.9 ) with a small voltage alteration ( 1.18 core 1.2 Soc) and i didnt even power cycle , just turned on and did nothing until we force shutdown the system after 5 minutes ( not even got to the bios just black screen ). Then we cleared the CMOS with the standard procedure and the bios came up and asked if we wanted to reset the settings. I clicked yes and it restarted, but no display after that.

We mounted his CPU onto my PC and it did the same. We mounted my CPU onto his and it worked. Needless to say we tried different GPUs or removing the GPU entirely for the boot sequence, as well as CMOS reset and we also attempted a boot sequence with 1 RAM stick. Nothing changed, no display, no boot and we assumed the CPU was dead.

My assumption was that the mobo overvolted the cpu with the stock clocks just after the bios reseted.

I might be wrong, but i believe the small bump i did in clocks with the SLIGHT undervolt could not kill a cpu. Something else happended and i have no idea :((

Does anyone know what happened and why?

If you literally reassemble your pc every week you basically killed it from just physical contacts wearing out

we never take out the cpu or the coolers just gpu,mother board hdds out and we clean them. Then reassemble, never take out the cpu

Just taking out cables, ram,... a lot wears them down. These things are rated for plugging in at most 50 times.

 

The fact the cpu refuses to function in all systems means its dead for sure.

 

Also doesnt help that the b450 ds3h has one of the worst power deliveries of any b450 board so it couls be that you made a perfect concoction to result in disaster

ok so maybe the everyother week was a bit exaggerating ( or maybe a lot ) but we have done that to his like 10 times in the last year. 

 

So my assumption of the mobo turbocharging the cpu isnt completly wrong correct? We ordered a new 3600 that comes tomorrow and a new mobo (Asrock B550m Steel Legend Motherboard Micro ATX) that comes in around 10 days. Will it be safe to put the cpu in the old mobo? The old one worked fine with my 1600 in.

If it has the bios update sure. Just dont oc the b450 ds3h is a pos
