i5 6500, GTX 980 Ti 6GB GDDR5, 16 GB of DDR4 at something low in the 2000s MHz, and a z170 A asus motherboard with an EVGA modular PSU and I was using the h100i water cooler on this socket which was literally retarded because I wasnt making proper contact and was hitting 80 degrees celsius at times hahahaha
I found a fix where if you toss in robber washers around 2 CM thick you can get great contact and it works (found it on a tomshardware thread), there just wasnt enough paste on at that point and I was still hitting 70 C temps, I lost one of the fasteners to my CPU cooler and after a literal hour of crawling on my hands and legs I lost my shit and went to bed
I woke up realizing I had enough parts to try a second build and wanted just try using an intel stock cooler for the first time ever and so I ended up building a second build this morning;
i5 3570, 16 GB of DDR3, GTX 780 and a p67 sabertooth motherboard...
so after a few hours I concluded it has an outdated BIOS and will never post with a 3000 series processor with out being flashed....
Also I found the 4th fastener to my H100i building that second build in an old shitty case I used for testing on as well so maybe Ill get decent temps, if not to the stock cooler I go until another AIO watercooler around christmas time
Anyways if anybody actually read this far Id like to ask what avoidable problems have you dealt with building computers?
