I didn’t even think to mention this. I have one of these installed, across both boardsOne of these or cheaper alternative. (did not know if you had one)
My basket at OcUK:
Total: £38.99 (includes delivery: £4.00)
Not suggesting it killed the CPU, thought it may cure RAM problem by having even peasure holding down the CPU.

So move the AIO pump cable from CPUFAN to system fan header? Or am I being daft?
Yeah I’ve just been jumping the board outside the box.
I do have a standard tower fan but I lost the bloody back plate to it. I suppose for this purpose it doesn’t matter, just stick a bit of paste on it and slap it on the top, gravity will keep it in place.
Will do this too. Need to get some breakfast or something into me 1st
Think it’s just the angles the photos are taken at, I can confirm all the fan connectors are in 100 straight and level
If it’s not the CPU. What else could it be? I’ve tried (I think) everything else. I think I’ve talked myself into getting an 13700 but I don’t have the funds available until I get money back on the 13600. I couldn’t even stretch to the i3 at the moment
One other thing which I didn’t think worth mentioning but is maybe related.
If the system has been off for a while and disconnected, the 1st power up seems to 5 beeps. I would describe them as 4 long 1 short and then when it reboots it will always do 4.
This is the reason I have said 4 long beeps because it always seems like that rare 5th beep was cut short because of the restart.

Removed AIO.
Removed retention bracket and CPU. No visual damage to CPU or socket

Yeah I noticed that too, in person there’s nothing visible. I’ll take a few more pics so you can see better hopefully

It’s the same socket so even though they’re labelled 12th Gen they do work just fine.
The 1st one I had the CPU out and my wife holding back the bits that swing around so they wouldn’t contact the socket.
On the 2nd board I removed it as soon as unpacked, still had the black plastic insert in it and nothing touched the inside. Plus if you remember it was working right up until I switched out the cards. At this point, hand on heart the only things I haven’t ruled out is the RAM and CPU. I’ve text a work colleague who I know has a PC to see if I can throw my ram around to his house so he can test it.
Meanwhile I’ve got a return organised with the vendor to send the CPU back and I’m going to upgrade it regardless. If it’s the ram then I can send all that back too. What a drama FFS
With regards to the RAM only thing I touched in BIOS was enabling XMP.

Only just seen this. Tried it, same beeps.
Also you mentioned earlier about the 2 sticks of RAM, I had done that with no joy. So I swapped the ram out to the other 2 sticks and took a pic. I’ve also added on top an unsecured cooler with a blob of thermal paste lol fan is also plugged in

Thanks. I have seen those videos. I have done the screws until I get resistance, which is just finger tight if that makes sense? I don’t think that’s the issue but I really appreciate you thinking about this for me
Me too but at the time I was convinced the Mobo had just given up so thought the swap would fix it. Hindsight and all thatYou still never said what u tried with ram, the pic showed 1 slot filled and then i said try a 2nd stick in slot 4, so 2 and 4 are populated, then if that didnt work try the other two sticks in the same slots. To rule out ram issue.
Yes what a kafullfull
Least if it was ram it has lifetime warranty usually. So can always get it changed for free if it ever defects.
I just kinda wish u didnt put the contact plate on the new mb to rule that out as a cause somehow. But ah well. First rule, build basic then test if u can get to bios ok, then finish adding stuff, test again bios, then finally finish up the cabling and install windows or whatever and enjoy.

I tried populating A1&A2 slots and then B1&B2 slots and powering up and same thing. It’s just gotta be the CPU, no way all 4 brand new memory modules die at the same time.
My friend also reminded me that I was having issues transcoding in Plex with this CPU, it was just dreadful. So maybe I just got a stinker!
