cooked or not

[tazman]

high guys quicky for ya

i just tried a z4 water block and my pc ran fine butwhen i removed it as it was a test i put the sk6 heatsink and fan on the cpu but i think the brackets that mount the water block to the mobo stopped the heatsink from getting contact with the core would it have cooked the cpu and if so does it do other damage when cooked

ie

hard drive (as the drive made a strange noise when i powered up
mobo

or just the cpu burns out and thats it


theres no signs of burning i can still read the top of the chip

i'm praying really hard at the mo

can some one help

thanks in advance

what r your symptoms?

is there any other boards of friends perhaps u could test the cpu in?

[tazman]

sys boots but nothing happens

just hd keeps going and going


no screen

can a duff cpu blow a mobo

What kind of hard drive, an IBM 75GXP perhaps? I had 1 of those POS bas***ds work fine until I went to install an Alpha 8045 hsf. I moved the box to the kitchen table to remove my old hsf & install the new one, didn't drop it or jar it or anything. When I went to boot up after, 1 of those 75GXP's took a dump and quit working. I sent it back to IBM for a RMA and they sent me back another defective 75GXP. So now, that 1 is presently shipping back to them for replacement.:mad:
Sorry for the rant, but your situation sounds like the same circumstances that happened to me.

For your CPU, if it's an Athlon then it may be cooked. Intel processors don't get burnt when the heatsink doesn't have contact (at least Pentium III's and 4's don't). P3's just crash the computer while P4's slow down the clock speed.

Athlon's can get cooked though so watch out. I've seen the Tom's Hardware video's. Horrifying.

uh...... no not really... toms little experiment was bogus most motherboards... at least mine have a shut down sequnce. ifc the temp gets above a set tempurature it shuts down...

also amd did a little experiment just like that... running unreal i believe

they took off the fan and let it cook... it ran for 9 min.. then it shut down.. and was still working

DON'T trust toms hardware

as for your CPU it seems to b e cooked..

i HIGHLY doubt your cpu fried your motherboard... but your cpu is toast

make yourself a nice keychain :D :D :D

It sounds like a cooked proc.

I had the same happen to my AYHJA 1333 Athlon when my waterblock didn't touch the die because of the standoff height for the MCW-462 being too high. That felt bad.

Did you take the cpu out and look at the bottom? Often when you have cooked it you will see the the bottom is blackish. I booted up a Duron without a fan and the bottom got a little singed. The cpu still worked though.

Have you reset the bios.

Also hold your case with your hand when you start it. A while back I stumbled on this. I would hole the case with my hand (a lot of skin contact) and it would boot when it wouldnt otherwise. I did this with a few "bad" motherboards, howerver this was with and AT case. I dont know it it works with atx, but I know for sure it works with ATs.

Well maby AMD needs to reduce its work load per clock cycle.I am sure 30 + percent less work results in a huge amount of heat savings.And could this extra ability really require more juce and therefore more heat ?

Sorry to hear you may have cooked her I hope the best for ya !
