Think it's dead

I think my 2500k cpu is dead the fans spin up and the led's on the mobo light but there are no beeps from the internal speaker and no output from a discrete vga card or the integrated gpu. Have tried removing the cmos battery and moving the clear cmos jumper for 30 min. Also tried with just one stick of ram and all drives unplugged.

Before it refused to boot I'd been trying to overclock it a bit more and lost my temper with it, whacked the multiplier up to 51 and vcore to 1.6v in the bios, switched on and dead as a dodo :(
 
If you purchased the chip from OCUK I 'think' they will still let you return it for a replacement. One of the few etailers that will from a bad OC. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong :)

I take it before taking a leap into spending another £150 on a chip you've whittled it down to it being the chip thats gone? Like removing everything else, running on stick of ram, trying various components in another machine if possible?

Worst case is you buy another chip to find you have also wiped out the motherboard and memory.

Possibly if there's no evidence of overclocking.

If the OP has managed to burn any of the CPU contact pads then he's unlikely to get a replacement as OcUK won't get a replacement from Intel.
 
People put 1.6v into them for suicide runs.
I'd be more inclined to say it's the board. That's not to say it can't be the CPU like lol.
What motherboard was it?
 
An Asus P8Z68-V Pro I've taken the cpu out and can't see any pads which look discoloured, I've got a spare MSI board I can try the ram and cpu in
 
If you've got a spare socket 1155 board try the CPU, lets see for sure :p
Although, an Asus could LLC at 1.6v and end up putting close to 1.7v which could well and truly murder your CPU lol.
 
what possessed you to put suicidal amounts of voltage through it? how do you loose your temper with a processor, am I the only one who thinks that is just odd? :confused:

1.6V would kill any CPU i think! Would be surprised if you didn't damage something beyond repair!

AMD processors would generally live through that sort of voltage, depending on cooling of course. still higher than I would risk going mind...:)

this!!! they refused me a RMA and so did Intel when i got a bit "carried" away, they didn't even bother to test it as it turned out it was the board which had blown not the CPU.
Reason haven't bought Intel or Asus for a while.
