Okay, Just removed my overclocked i5 8600k , been running great at 4.8
Same memory (3000mhz) motherboard (gigabyte auros gaming k3) h110i cooler.
My first test was intels own CPU checker, it passed that test
then a quick test on Cinebench
Then onto Prime95 :
I downloaded the latest version of prime95, I have reset my bios to default settings.
When running prime95 with no overclock, temps are fine at around 73 degrees...
When performing the "Small FFTs" test , it will run fine, but after 5 - 10 minutes either core 11 or 12 will fail...
This is with no OC on the cpu.
One thing worth mentioning, the computer at no time has locked up or blue screened on me.
I did read it could be the memory (but runs fine on my i5 8600k) so it was recommended to the test the CPU with XMP profile set to off therefore running the mem at 2133.
I bought the CPU 2nd hand from eBay, based on the warranty check on intels website it is an OEM chip so it cannot be sent back under Intels warranty, I have only had the CPU for a 2 days, so I am still covered by eBay returns, the CPU was listed as "used" used on ebay , clearly states by ebay's terms as working as intended, if an item has a fault it has to be listed as spares or repairs, even if someone adds some kind of term and condition to the description text.
Help please, ideally I would like to have some peace of mind with this CPU but if it is failing with no OC what can I try next ?!?!?!
