    Advice on Skylake/Kaby Lake 1151 socket - some pins look like they've got hot

    I've found some board view files for other H110 Asrock boards, just not this one. I tried that quickly earlier, but I pull the battery, disconnect the PSU and put the jumper on and leave it like that until tomorrow night.

    Advice on Skylake/Kaby Lake 1151 socket - some pins look like they've got hot

    After some investigations today, I don't appear to have any dead shorts, but what I have found with the PSU rocker switch on, pin 9 on the ATX 24 pin connector fluctuates around 1v and every so often goes to roughly 3.3v which seems to coincide with the faint click from the PSU. Pin 9 powers the...

    Advice on Skylake/Kaby Lake 1151 socket - some pins look like they've got hot

    You piqued my interest, I'm going to check some basics this morning - found this excellent set of YouTube video's. So far I haven't found any schematics for the Asrock H110 Pro BTC+

    Advice on Skylake/Kaby Lake 1151 socket - some pins look like they've got hot

    If I knew what I was doing it would be worth testing further, I have a DMM, and soldering station (but most components would be far too small for my abilities), but not the best eyesight, and not the steadiest of hands - I'm getting on a bit now.

    Advice on Skylake/Kaby Lake 1151 socket - some pins look like they've got hot

    And the end result is nothing, no explosions, no flames, nothing, just a very faint clicking from the power supply. CPU fan doesn't spin, and no LED's, not even on the RJ45 socket, as they say it's dead Jim. Some you win, some you lose. Googling would seem to suggest this is a common problem...

    Advice on Skylake/Kaby Lake 1151 socket - some pins look like they've got hot

    Thank you all for your replies, I'm still waiting for my CPU to arrive, its not an expensive CPU, but cost £50 which is about $70 but I was hoping to find a cheaper one, but cheap ones are rather scarce at the moment. The board is an Asrock H110 Pro BTC+ so unlikely to have been overclocked but...

    Advice on Skylake/Kaby Lake 1151 socket - some pins look like they've got hot

    LOL, that did make me laugh. Yes I have purchased it, I knew it possibly had an issue, so took a chance. I was kind hoping someone might have seen similar before, and could have offered some insight in to whether it was likely to be an issue or what had caused it etc. But ultimately the only...

    Advice on Skylake/Kaby Lake 1151 socket - some pins look like they've got hot

    Thanks for the comments, if you think that one's bad you should see the other one - advertised as a few pins bent, turned out it had been left outside for some time - a suitable refund was obtained. Anyone have any thoughts on the cause of the over heated pins, or whether it's likely to work -...

    Advice on Skylake/Kaby Lake 1151 socket - some pins look like they've got hot

    I've taken a chance on a motherboard that was sold for parts /not working, and the reason given was they didn't have a CPU to test it with, its a Skylake/Kaby Lake 1151 socket. Looking at the CPU socket there is a group of pins which look like they've got hot, the actual heads of the pins look...
