I recently had my roommate complain about his PC not booting

 

Upon troubleshooting I found the following

 

- broken capacitors

- bent CPU socket

 

previously he was complaining of low FPS in games.....wonder why

 

He had a Devils Canyon 4790K....but since z97 Motherboards are roughly the same as z270....its time for him to upgrade to an i5 8600k.....now he has a faster CPU then my 7700K.....by 11 points in cinebench

nope....although I really don't get how a cpu socket with that many bent pins worked

Luck that all the pins needed to boot were contacting correctly. You might be missing pcie lanes, memory channels, etc

... why is this not a status update then? becuase its not a need help, its not a build log, its not planning its not discussion of anything either

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

meh he wanted coffee lake, and my hand eye co-ordination is not that good

 

 

Did you say that you installed a coffeelake chip into a z97 motherboard or am I misunderstanding you?

That's even possible?

There's no way in hell that would work.

I must be missing something.

since z97 is lga1150 and CL is 1151....that wouldn't work

 

but to replace the board with a z97, would be roughly the same price as a new CL board, so that's the route we went
