For the 1 Millionth time. Elon Musk has said that the problem with AI isn't that it's going to kill us all because it becomes self aware and hates mankind. The problem with AI destroying us is that if a tiny group of people develops it first, it will enable them to advance in knowledge and...

A replacement gasket arrived from ekwb in a little less than a week. I haven't installed it yet, but I will soon. I'm thinking about doing a quick test with the multimeter with the probes at a set distance apart to see if I can see a difference in conductivity between the old and new gasket.

Pulled CPU block, CPU, reinstalled CPU, installed CPU block after trimming intel flaps from backplate, installed block gently. Bios flash from USB. Booted. Worked. This board and install retention are so finicky...

In reading posts online, it appears that others that removed the center of their rubber gasket in the defective ekwb backplate retention also experienced this, but it's just unusual that it occurred at a failed very small overclocking attempt. The pump definitely was working. Temps generally...

Ugh. The first day I played around with overclocking I'm getting a Q code of 8. Tried clearing cmos, tried reflashing. Neither appear to be breaking it free of the code 8 system initializatiom agent issue.

Thank you for the input! I definitely have the ekwb supremacy evo block, and the kit included a am4 bracket. I read the description from the link to over at the oc net and the description sounds similar. Thank you for posting that. Despite my searching the web for answers that didn't come up...

Put motherboard back into case with same configuration with the only exception being that I reinstalled the water block instead of the air cooler. I tried plugging the air cooler in instead of the pump, didn't boot. Pulled the ssd mount and fan controller off the back to check for clearance...

We have fans spinning Removing the motherboard and booting from cardboard box is a good sign. Now to find the ground short..

Flashed the bios. that process appeared to work normally. The system still will not boot though. Water pump and fans do not start.

Tried pulling each ram stick. Tried resetting cmos multiple times with power on and off Verified that psu would still power on with the psu bypass plug. Still need to try: bios flash Pulling board and looking for rogue standoffs Booting board on cardboard box outside of pc

i know someday when I look back at this as a conquered challenge I will laugh, but for now I just want to smash something. :dead:
