cobalt atlas defective cpu

did you update the bios to support 14th gen?

cobalt atlas Oct 22, 2023, 6:17 PM

#

cobalt atlas defective cpu

Are you sure it is defective CPU? It could be poor mount in the socket. LGA 1700 tends to taco their CPUs.

cobalt atlas Oct 22, 2023, 9:17 PM

#

Its defective

#

I tried it on another build

dapper sparrow Oct 22, 2023, 9:17 PM

#

Ok.

cobalt atlas Oct 22, 2023, 9:21 PM

#

And the cpu kept losing signal

#

Refusing to install any

#

Os

dapper sparrow Oct 22, 2023, 9:21 PM

#

CPU kept losing signal? Yeah that does sound like a bad socket mount.

#

Typically, what you will see with LGA 1700 with a bad mount is loss of connectivity with memory or PCIe lanes.

cobalt atlas Oct 22, 2023, 9:22 PM

#

It wasn’t a bad mount

#

I checked it 3 times

dapper sparrow Oct 22, 2023, 9:22 PM

#

Do you know what LGA 1700 does when you mount the CPU in the socket?

#

All of the mounting pressure is applied to the two raised sections on the IHS at the middle of the length-wise side.

#

The ends up pushing the MIDDLE of the CPU down while the ends of it raise up.

cobalt atlas Oct 22, 2023, 9:24 PM

#

The cpu burnt up from the inside

#

That’s what killed it

dapper sparrow Oct 22, 2023, 9:24 PM

#

Oh. You got pics?

#

I haven't seen this before

cobalt atlas Oct 22, 2023, 9:25 PM

#

I’ll take some pics when im@baxk

#

Anyway, this is what my 13900K looked like when I first installed it:

#

#

Needless to say I immediately purchased and installed a frame

candid vault Oct 23, 2023, 6:21 PM

#

Pretty messy with the thermal paste

I don't know how my mount looked like when I had my 12700K in the standard ILM but what I do know is that the temps were fairly high during light loads and my beQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4 could only dissipate 185W, I now have a contact frame and my CPU can easily spike to 275W and sustain around 230W. I can defo recommend getting a contact frame, I'd say it's almost necessary if you've got an air cooler and do lots of CPU-heavy stuff
