ok guys Im gonna try rule out every u have suggested this week ans ill let everyone know whats happening, im just hoping nothing is wrong

 

[cbiltsouris]

ive beeen doing the things that where suggested and u guys were rightt...

I took the d14 and saw the thermal paste....no wonder my temps were higher when i got it back, I reaplied the paste and im on stock clocks now and im at 24 degrees idle and 34 max @ 1.14v i think i can go lower but ill leave it at that, but the worste was still to come I took the cpu out extremely carefully and looked at the socket...THERES 4 BENT ****** PINS MOTHER**** explains everything, I put the cpu back in and went into the bios says I have installed a new cpu bit it STILL only recognizing 2 cores but the temps are a hell of alot lower. this is pathetic im going back very soon and they better fix it or rma it becuase I bought both the cpu and motherboard from their.. I took pics if you guys want to look.

post the pics

where did you buy it from ill make sure to avoid it when i move to Australia

!

 

[cbiltsouris]

doing that right now mate

anyway to unbend the pins? apparently u just need a metal screw driver and will go up

 

[hmmblah]

Yeah, post the pics.

And I hate to break it to you, but unless the shop you bought it from will exchange it, manufacturers usually won't warranty an item with bent pins. The plastic cover that comes over the pins usually has this warning on it.

Best of luck to you though, I hope you can get it sorted quickly. Keep us updated.

how do I upload the pics lol

 

[killablade]

Upload the pics on sqi.sh or imageshack.us, then post the forum links here, or use the direct links but wrap

 

[cbiltsouris]

hope that works

 

[hmmblah]

hmm, I can't see the bent pins. Maybe circle them? Can you get a macro shot of the socket?

 

[cbiltsouris]

was taken on my phone im trying to find them aswell lol, but trust if u saw it ud instantly see it

 

[benj3]

yer seeing bent pins is easy but not from a direct down shot like that

 

[cbiltsouris]

ive got to try and bend them up again or should I just let them do it? so if they stuff up its their issue?

If they cover it let them do it. Then if they mess up you're not out a board.

 

[benj3]

an easy way is using a credit card of sorts on either side but dont bend them to much else ur fudge

 

[cbiltsouris]

they better cover it because its there fault, I also got some pics of my graphics card problems in my other thread

 

[cbiltsouris]

Ok guys i did a cmos clear and now i cant back into windows after I exit the bios a blackscreen appears with a whiteline flashing

 

[mezmir]

Wait so is it working now or no? lol. Hope it gets fixed. I'd definately suggest the seating, the cmos, or even windows as the culprit, but thats definately not good having your cores up and disappear.
