| JEMC said: @Pemalite: It's the problem of having a platform that has to support chips from two architectures that differ in a lot of things, like dual or quad memory support. Still, it's the same as with every new platform, it also happened with Ryzen and will happen again with ThreadRipper. They only need time to iron all the issues. |
It's actually down to the voltage regulators. Kaby Lake-X and Sky Lake-X are different in that aspect.
The motherboards aren't recognizing the different regulators and are popping chips.
Intel has had platforms that support multiple chip architectures anyway and it was always fine. They just wen't full retard this time around.
You just expect more out of Intel, this is their premium platform.

I don't have much hope applying new paste will solve anything. That thing broke when it wasn't under any load at all and it didn't work after it cooled down. I just hope the mainboard isn't shot. |
Wait. Did paste get into the CPU socket?
