bobbytomorow Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Last night I was seeing how much I could push my CPU, Q6600, I wasn't aiming for stability rather seeing if it would simply boot into Windows to allow me to run super pi (it was a competition and I had been drinking). I got her to boot into Windows @3.78GHz and complete pi 1m, then I upped the Voltage to 1.6v and tried to booting @4.05GHz and then nothing. PC shut off and will not turn on. My memory was adjuster using divider and kept at stock speed so its not my RAM thats toasted I know that much. What happens now is when I press the power button, the PC will try and post for about half a second, the fans just start to turn and bang it shuts down right away, no post whatsoever, cannot get into BIOS, no beep codes, just shuts down instantly. My specs: -Q6600 w\Scythe Ninja Plus Rev. B -4GB DDR2-1000 G.Skill -Gigabyte P35 DS3R -ATi 4870 512MB -800w Mushkin Modular Also I did not smell anything burn, and what i have trioed so far is unplugging the psu, removing the CMOS battery, clear the CMOS via jumper. I don't have an extra 775 cpu or mobo for testing but I do have an extra psu to see if the psu is done, but since I didn't smell anything I doubt its psu also 800w is plenty. I'm thinking my best bet is go buy another cpu and if it works then I know my old cpu is toast but if the PC still doesn't post then its probably the mobo in which case i will return the new cpu and grab another mobo. Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltes_5 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) I have the same exact board, with the f13c bios. At this moment I am stress testing my just bought Q6600 at 3.6/1.46 vcore, 6hrs and counting. I had my E6600 running at 3.6/1.56 vcore, more than two instances my waterpump just stopped running while gaming and it shuts off the system, the board just shuts off at a certain cpu temps that is set on the bios. Man, if that was on air, it could be fried......... Edited February 8, 2009 by Voltes_5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLS2008 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Got a warranty on it? Does Intel even cover that in the warranty, lol. If you cleared the CMOS and everything, I'd say the CPU is toast. Is it a newer Q6600, because the old ones used to be able to handle 1.7V or so. Next time, don't overclock while drinking... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbytomorow Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 No I don't think Intel would cover this under warranty, and I've had the CPU well over a year anyway. And yes this was on air, I know it was dumb but like I said I was drinking some beers and was all, "HELL YEAH IT CAN TAKE MORE!". I just figured I would ask for some feedback because you would think I should at least be getting some beep codes or something right?

malmsteenisgod Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Mine did that one night and I thought I had fried it too. I was super pissed so I let it sit over night and the next morning I was able to get it to turn on and get into the Bios. Works fine now. Not sure why that happened, but let's hope that's all yours is doing... ...and 1.6V on air?! You're out of your mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
werty316 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 If CPU looks fine and you give Intel a good excuse they might accept the chip if you RMA'd it. A while back I fried an E4300 which was overclocked and Intel accepted it when I issued an RMA for it. Just don't tell them that you fried it from too much overclocking. And yeah, 1.6v on air is crazy nuts and asking for trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take the cpu out of its socket for now and let it cool off overnight, and proceed to test the next day. Then, I'd drink some more to ease the pain a bit LOL.

ccokeman Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Why not try clearing the CMOS with the battery out for 15 minutes. Sounds like it just needs to clear. My X48 DQ6 takes a CMOS clear when I go to far out of bounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Un-plug your PSU, clear the CMOS, then hook it back up and try to boot it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 after you remove the battery for the cmos (and unplug the computer) press the power button a few times to expel any extra energy left in the board and it's components. maybe take the processor out and put it back in if the first step doesn't yield any favorable results Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
