I tried a cpu/motherboard swap tonight and it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. Here is what I did:
Took the 2500 out of my A7N8X and put in my 1700+. I did this because I wanted my room to be cooler and the 1.5 volt processor was running at the same speed as my 2500 on the OEM fan! The 2500 wasn't stable over 2.09 anyway.
Regardless, I had the TT Volcano 11 with the smart fan 2 on it and I bought a SK-7 to use with the smart fan as I heard it is more efficient than the V11.
Everything was going well and I put all of the parts back together. New layer of ceramique, AMD cpu shim, SK-7 and then mounted the smart fan.
Cleared the bios, plugged everything back in and powered on. All of the fans start up but after 5 seconds or so - fast beeping. Like 2-3 times a second. I have never had this error before and I am hoping you all can tell me what is going on.
I tried clearing the bios again and that didn't work. Right now I have removed the cooler and am going to remount it. I hope that works, but if it doesn't I will need some help.
I don't think I hard broke the cpu as I had the shim in there and I thought that made it impossible to destroy the processor.
Help me please!!
