Wow, unlucky dude
I've had many many overclocked cpu's and never had one degrade let alone die!
Think it’s the first CPU in my group of friends to ever die and the worst part is it wasn’t even running on the overclocked settings at the time! Plus I just spent £860 on a new monitor last month and the missus is going to start questioning my ability to save up for our upcoming first baby!
After testing each component and concluding it was ether the CPU or mobo I bought myself a new mobo as I was sure that would be the far more likely candidate. However, I guess that can be returned for a refund to OCUK? If not I guess that’s more money I’ve wasted. :L
When I get back from work today I’ll have a new mobo, Ryzen CPU, RAM and cooler waiting for me so I can get back up and running. The old mobo, RAM, cooler and a few other bits and bobs will be donated to my nephews first rig he wants to build for his Christmas.
Edit:Oh, I also just finally learned to drive for the upcoming baby last month and bought my first car at £10.7k with extortionate insurance. My missus must be a very patient women!
