Guys,
I need somebody willing to risk their gear help me test a 7700K. After watching me successfully delid my ancient Haswell chips, a colleague at work got on the bandwagon and tried to delid his 7700K. No POST! He claims it is dead. I am not sure that it is. The problem is, he broke a couple of pins on his Gigabyte MB. So I don't know if the no POST occurred prior to breaking the pins or after. He is not sure either. To me, everything on the CPU (and the underside) looks fine, but you guys probably know better. I will post some pics tomorrow.
I don't have to remind you that you may blow your own board if the chip is at fault! Considering this risk, would somebody be willing help me out? (I will pay shipping both ways)
