    If it was a suspected mounting pressure related issue, I would have checked a different cooler and bracket to see if the issue persisted. That would have at least narrowed the issue down to the socket specifically and not a savaged bracket, cooler, etc.

    • @mistermudpie
      @mistermudpie Год назад +27

      I don't think a damaged bracket or cooler would keep the system from posting altogether. That suggests damaged traces/improper contacts within the socket area of the motherboard. In any case, I wouldn't trust that mobo going forward and I think it would have been best for Greg to swap it out.

    A build I did last year from all new parts had all kinds of stability issues, even down to the point where I couldn't get it into the BIOS. Ended up rebuilding the entire PC for the customer and figured out that it was uneven mounting pressure that was the issue with the stock AMD cooler. I suspect as the system powered on and the CPU/socket started to heat up, the little bit of expansion due to heat was enough to cause the issues.
    Good spot with this one, not obvious at all and so easily missed even with methodical testing approaches. Well done, Greg!

    -- I would have added some light pushes to the block with a finger or two to see if the problem resurfaced. Also inspected the other side of the board for potential shorts - riser, bracket, etc - using a different cooler to see if the problem keeps occurring would have been another step.

    I think people sleep on how important bios updates are, especially in ryzen systems, I have learned the hard way especially when mixing older motherboards with newer cpus .

    • @sebaschan-uwu
      @sebaschan-uwu Год назад

      Too much mounting pressure on an air cooler will make the board bow around the socket, squeezing the cpu out. I imagine a similar thing happens for an aio. You can just look at the socket and visually determine if any bending or squeezing is happening on the board or on the pcb part of the cpu istelf.
      It works slightly differently for intel cpus but the rule of thumb is to only use as much pressure as is needed to get a decently firm hold on the cpu and nothing more.

  • @dil6969

    I love the work you do Greg, but I'm not satisfied with this conclusion. That Enermax cooler is possibly clogged as they had issues with LiqTech 1 and some LiqTech 2 coolers that Gamers Nexus covered thoroughly. The exact serial number shoulder be checked to see if it's an affected unit and maybe get replaced for free. Secondly, I'm pretty sure his power supply is the one of the Gigabyte PSUs known to explode that GN also covered, depending on the exact serial number of course. That cooler and PSU should both be swapped out. I wouldn't be surprised if it was forcibly bundled with his GPU.

    I was going to point out that its likely the mobo or the CPU or a combo of the two. I remember just a year prior to the pandemic lockdown I had upgraded from a 580 XT to a 5700XT and then eventually fell into a trap where I started upgrading almost every part of my PC piece by piece. The last part of my upgrade was the CPU (9900k). Everything was fine till plugged in the 9900k and then the curse started. The PC would keep rebooting itself randomly and there would be a rare few instances where it would work like it should (as long as I didn't reboot the PC). First I thought it was the bios and then for two weeks I systematically started checking every vital parts of the PC only to end having to replace my Asus mobo to a gigabyte pro wifi and am still using the thing without any issues to date. Using it right now to type this.

    I am just starting the video but I had to comment because I bought that same AIO (if it's the 240 one) for the pc I built a year ago (April 2022). I got it for a 10100F (it was on discount and before I knew it was overkill for the processor... which actually helped me diagnose the issue in the end) I also started getting high temps at about the end of April after reinstalling windows and adding a 2 TB NVME for my games. I'm talking close to 90C while playing RE4 Remake (it was more like close to 50C before I installed the NVME). I reapplied the thermal paste and was sill getting high temps so in the end I chose to be thorough.
    I ended up spending 5 dollars on some Arctic MX4 and just getting a Vetroo V5 air cooler and that ended up fixing my issue. I just chose to remove the complication of the AIO in the end. I might be upgrading to an 11400f (so I can actually use both of my NVME slots on my mobo) so I am glad to know that the V5 will cool that just as well. I just thought it was a bit ironic that this is the first video I am seeing with that Enermax AIO in a build. While it worked out for most of the year surprisingly enough the V5 air seems to cool better than the Enermax AIO ever did. I am glad that the AIO wasn't the issue, at least with cooling.

I installed my 3700x in the new board and it worked just fine. Messed around with different bios versions, swapping the cpu out after each try, but nothing worked. I ended up swapping out ram with another kit I have and it fixed my issue. I believe the new board is a bit pickier than the old board and the old ram might be on its way out and throwing errors. Which would explain the hang ups during intense loads while gaming on the old set up. Old board was b550 with 3700x cpu

    I have an Enermax AIO 360 and have been using it for a little more than a year now and haven't had any problems with it so far.

      Even the ones with corrosive issues are usually fine within the first year. Hopefully yours will still be fine a couple years from now. Ennermax has had a reputation of gunk buildup more than any other AIO brand.

    Greg, I love your work but I would have been very suspicious of that Enermax AIO. It may be crud filled and you just dislodged the gunk. Personally, I would have replaced it with something like a $20 THermalright Assassin 120 or if you want to splurge a Scythe Fuma 2. There's a reason why Enermax AIOs are the cheapest.

    If it's using a plastic backp!ate for mounting cooler then it's possibly bending the first ram DIMM slot enough to cause no post. Using a solid insulated metal backplate will limit warping of socket and DIMM slot, as it's really close to DIMM SLOTS to maybe do this s

    I would have tried a different cooler just to see if the mounting pressure from this specific cooler was the issue, or mounting pressure in general. Also, those Enermax Coolers are bad in general :/

    oddly, had the problem with two 5600x's with the stock cooler, if the cooler was not tightened in just a certain way, no joy. I can't remember who I was watching on yt, but I remember them saying something about how you couldn't squish the part of the cpu that handles memory and this would happen with ryzen 3 (5000). Didn't see that with 1.5 or 2

  • @gucky4717
    @gucky4717 Год назад +1

    If you think about it. Intel CPUs are getting DEFORMED by the socket. And mainboards mught even bend quite far, if you tighten screws too hard.
    The AIO Pump was not installed correctly and he might have bend/deformed the IHS or the board to much. And now it is crooked.

    The AIO/CPU socket may have problems, but I also noticed at the end of the video the brand of PSU that's in this PC. Gigabyte 750. I'm sure I have seen something about them exploding. I think it might have been on GN.

    I had the same problem when I upgraded the CPU. It was a cooler pressure problem and when I removed and reinstalled the cooler the problem went away.

    @yourfavoritelawnguy2722 Год назад

    Been there before, over tightened my AIO bracket by literally half a turn on 2 screws. It would not boot, just go full fan speed with no post and stayed that way. I did everything from CMOS to swapping components. It wasn't until i tried to start the pc without the cooler installed that it posted, 5 hours later. Hopefully he didn't crack anything in the board, im pretty sure i did as it started having random connection drop outs on usb ports, audio.

  • @michaelhemric5228

    I have that same board and have had nothing but either trouble or or great results with it it either works great or not at all and the board may have 300 hours on it if that the cooler is usually what i am messing with when it acts out tho, maybe you found my problem aswell

  • @MisterDemonTC
    @MisterDemonTC Год назад

    when you mentioned about twisting the pins or w/e i thought of when i first built my pc:
    i was swapping out my stock 5600x fan for an ak620 when i first built it cuz it would idle at like 50c(dropped to 30c with the deepcool tower) and i was having some trouble removing it so i pulled a bit too hard and it just straight up took the stock fan and the cpu still attached. thank christ none of the pins got bent but lesson learned, run the pc a bit to loosen the paste before changing the cpu cooler lmao

    I built my new PC several months ago, for budget reason I paired a 13700k with a Z690 board(with BIOS flashback), I followed several online guides including updating my BIOS, but somehow my PC can't POST after assembly, after some tedious debugging it turns out my BIOS flashback isn't successful, that function seems to be rather picky about USB stick you use(I used the MSI flash stick that comes with the board), I had to dig up a very old USB drive and it works.
    So I had similar experience to Greg's process here, albeit I don't have a 12th gen CPU to do the debugging so I literally had to check everything until I start to doubt my initial BIOS flash update is not succesful.

  • @Mirra2003-f9s
    @Mirra2003-f9s Год назад

    Maybe those high temps damaged the socket in some way too and when he removed the cooler it released the pressure on the board and developed small cracks around the socket that won't make contact anymore unless some amount of pressure is put on it again

  • @tourmaline07
    @tourmaline07 Год назад

    A few years back I had a freak accident where a bookshelf fell onto my PC (laden with books) and knocked it over with force . Had a tower cooler at the time and the force was enough for it to put a bend in the motherboard where the CPU socket was. I had lots of instability and crashes until I ran the PC on its side with case horizontal with the floor , which then fixed themselves. A few months later replaced the board entirely - the bend meant the CPU socket couldn't properly contact with the board - hence the instability.

    I have the same motherboard and had issues with the then latest bios version. Had to go back to previous version and everything started working like it should.
    Why to get pretty PSU cable extensions and use cable combs wrong?

    I have a interesting issue I run a 3 monitor set up and I switched one of the monitors out for a different one… I swapped cables and one of my other monitors shut off and wouldn’t work on DisplayPort. HDMI yes Dvi yes. ended up switching the new monitor to a dvi and the old monitor started working again
    Any ideas why it does this if I connect the new monitor any other way cept dvi the other monitor shuts off immediately and this has happened with 2 different video cards lol

    @JoeBob79569 Год назад

    I bought a "broken" Asus Z97 Deluxe a few years ago on eBay that had a memory issue, but I googled it beforehand and found out that the memory tracers were prone to breaking due to mounting pressure, but I thought I'd give it a shot anyway because the board was only about €25, and it was a great motherboard at the time.
    I had the memory issue initially when booting it up, but like this I adjusted the mounting pressure and never had a problem with it again.
    If I did had more issues my plan was to put a little plastic washer on some of the standoff screws under the motherboard, to bend it slightly in the appropriate direction. But luckily I never needed to do this.

    Okay i have to say, i am glad this video came into my recommended cuze i have been experincing the exact same behavior, never suspected its mounting pressure so now i will play around with that and see if it fixes my issue too, would be great if it does and would mean i just need a new cooler/mobo than buying a much more expensive CPU
