    I've got almost 25 years hardware experience and I don't think I would have thought of that for that error. I'd have been tearing my hair out on this one. I've reused parts in upgrade builds since the 90's and never thought of this. Thanks Jay.

      Remembering that it is a common error on some platforms, in the old days when there was still the extreme series from Intel, if you pressed too much or left too much slack, some memory channels of the usual 4 simply wouldn't boot, you could use the system but without those memory channels. In simpler systems that have fewer pins it is something much more difficult to happen.

    For a long time, friends have told me that you want to tighten your cooler JUST until it starts to resist with normal pressure, and I just thought it was to avoid threading. Now I know better. That's incredibly scary for someone who doesn't have dozens of Mo-Bos and CPUs, and now I'll be even more careful. Thanks, Jay!

      Tolerance stackups can miss during the manufacture of a cooler/aio...something that jaybeebee1cent doesn’t get. Yes, you will have to tweak around with torques to compensate. Start with low uniform torques, wait for boot and work your way from there based on the temps you see.

    Great video Jay. I used to see this all the time when I was a SunMicrosystems hardware engineer back in 2001-2006. Granted, a different platform but the principle is the same. If you would over tighten the CPU module onto the system board of an E4500, E6500, or tighten the torx screws in the wrong order, the host would never pass POST. POST on these Enterprise beasts was quite a process. We were issued with a torque driver precisely calibrated for the correct torque to guard against this. Love the office refurb too. Great channel.

    Thanks for this video. I've never had this problem myself in spite of the fact that I've build well over a hundred gaming rigs over the past 30 years and have fitted air and liquid coolers of many different brands including some that needed to be modified in order to fit. I never tightened any of them down with a lot of force, though but always just enough so they wouldn't move.
    Now that I am aware of this being a possible problem when fitting an older cooler on a similar sized socket mount I'll be able to use this knowledge when troubleshooting problems because as you said, your first thought when you get errors like this is a problem with the RAM, once you eliminate that the motherboard, once you eliminate that the CPU, once you eliminate that the power supply.
    Your first thought is not going to be "Hey maybe it's the CPU cooler."

      That was the method I used too and haven't had any problems. Haven't built a PC in a LONG time so was totally unsure of how torque would work with the springs in the mix. I settled on tightening the screws a little at a time in a criss-cross pattern until my heat sink quit sliding/moving with reasonable pressure from the sides and left it at that.

      Your biggest hurdle with what you suggested is that you would have to make sure the socket is mounted as perfect as humanly possible, or else it may not make proper contact with the motherboard circuitry and nothing will work at all and could possibly brick the socket or the board or the cpu or anything plugged into it, but, if you could make a system where this wasn’t an issue, hypothetically, I’d be down for a replaceable socket, but it’s not like you could change generations though, cause the board layout for a 10th gen Intel is not the same as the layout for a 12th gen Intel and they would not be cross compatible even in the slightest

    • @dagarath
      @dagarath 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@What_In_This_World Like I said the tolerances would have to be within 10 microns, anything much larger and the actual connections might not always line up, however if all LGA sockets were designed for this concept from the ground up we would be in a much more reasonable place because it would make cheaper boards $60-100 reasonable to repair with a 20-30$ socket, currently replacement socket prices are $5-10 but the labor is upwards of $100.

      @@dagarath I was going to say that sockets already are replaceable modules. It's just that it requires soldering. But your last comment cleared that misunderstanding when you referred to it as currently being a $5 socket and $100 of labor. So that's fair enough, but:
      How would you securely mount this modular socket to the motherboard? Surely it would require a retention mechanism of it's own if you're not soldering the socket onto the motherboard. Adding an extra retention mechanism seems counterintuitive to me if the problem your trying to solve is the potential cost of replacement.

Every single test I ran came out fine. I had tried multiple distros thinking maybe I had gotten a bad build. I decided to try with my old Windows 7 install but still had the random lockups. Watching one of your earlier videos I had decided to redo the CPU paste on my current rig and figured what the heck I'll do the old rig too. The random crashing went away and now, full circle, I think I finally know why. I've always tightened any screws or bolts in a cross or star pattern but I hadn't thought about how much torque I was using.
    This is why I like your channel. Because of watching your content I finally started overclocking and trying other things I was always interested in but just never pulled the trigger and because you're a tinkerer like me you figure out such random problems that someone might not have even known WAS a problem.

      That’s why I didn’t like when I built my first Ryzen system last year I found the new wraith stealth stock cooler with my R5 3600 didn’t use the included heatsink clip brackets on my motherboard but required I unscrew those and remove them and screw the heatsink into the backplate. And the same with my Hyper 212 Evo, even though the older and smaller Hyper TX4 for my previous system included and used those little lever clip hold down things. Screws allow you go tighter most of the time, sure, but sometimes too tight, and screws can strip, both their threads and the head, especially Phillips screws. I prefer the lever mechanism, reminds me of old computers anyway, even an old Celeron 600 MHz cpu used that mechanism for its tiny heatsink, pretty much all computers used lever mounts in the beginning.

    Ha, exact same thing with my 5900X and custom waterblock. Exact same symptoms, and memory related problems due to overpressure on the socket. Switched block to a heatkiller and noticed they had a different mounting mechanism, no more problems, and memory overclocking, etc all good.

    I found this out the hard way not very long ago. As I was doing some upgrades to my old Asus P6T, LGA 1366 system and I ran into some crazy stability issues. I went from a I7 930 and a very old corsair H100 AIO to a Xeon X5690 and a custom loop using an ek supremacy evo block. But I couldn't find a compatible mounting bracket. So, I modified my old H100's mount to take the larger studs from the evo block's 115X mount. I didn't take into account just how much thicker that Xeon X5690 is over let's say an I7 8700K or realize how the additional clamping force would impact anything. To make a long story short, I wound up backing off the screws nearly 2 full turns from the bottom stop position and it works perfectly now. Thanks for this information, Jay. I only wish you could have posted this much sooner.

    This is going to help a ton of people, especially with how the new 12th gen has changed the Z Axis height... I noticed that one of my Corsair AIO manuals explicitly says to not over tighten the screws now. I guess they are aware of this issue, but I honestly just heard about this issue from one of your earlier videos. Now when I install a cooler that has the spring loaded screws, I make sure to not bottom out the screws. Just let the spring tension do the work.

  • @khaychi
    @khaychi 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Yeah, never try to tighten screws to the maximum on cpu/heatsink frames. Had this issue on my very first build like 15, 16, 17 years ago. It took me like 2 weeks to figure out what's wrong, and a lot of new ordered parts to send back. I could replicate the error and it felt really satisfying finding it out. Especially with Intel 12th and 13th gen i would be even more careful to damage something, as the whole cpu tends to bend easily without the usage of a third party cpu frame. And Intel doesn't care. 😑

  • @dechains
    @dechains 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you Jay! I had an 12600k build for a client that would boot but bluescreen' randomly after a few hours. Well I loosened up the cpu cooler per your suggestion and it appears to be stable and has passed multiple stress tests! Glad I watched your video because it definitely saved me hours of frustration.

  • @Raiders74108
    @Raiders74108 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I built my first system back in March. Used the AMD stock cooler and literally from day one have always had this issue or memory issues. For the life of me I couldn't figure it out and asked everyone including forums, microcenter employees and my brother In law who's been building computers for years. Then I saw this right before I gave up and decided it was the CPU ( I have already replaced my motherboard). Tried it with stock cooler and still couldn't get it. Bought a cheaper single tower air cooler and immediately fixed everything!! I can't tell you how relieved I was.

  • @nomisukeindustries
    @nomisukeindustries 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you so much for including two codes today. That was very cool of you to follow through.
    I had the exact same issue with putting a Corsair H50 on a socket 2011 E5-2680 v1. The original heatsink was allowing the CPU to idle at 75°C so I decided to put an older AIO on it. I freaked myself out because after restarting the system it would not post. Turned out loosening the screws about 2 full rotations each fixed the issue. It now idles at 36°C.
    Can't wait to see the finished product and footage from Saturday's garage sale!

  • @1968Zedar
    @1968Zedar 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    DUDE! You are a God! Re-pasted my cooler & added another 16GB of ram to my laser engraving PC this morning. It booted then began to do random restarts followed by BSOD. Only way I could get it to run was to remove the new ram. So while I was engraving a quick test piece just to be sure the problem wouldn't reoccur I sat & watched your vid on my phone. Then when the test piece finished I loosened the cooler & reinstalled the new ram. Wooo Hooo! 32GB of ram & a stable system. Sweet. Cheers Jay.😀✌

    I never would've thought of this! Mind you, I fixed a friend's computer the other month which kept power cycling during boot and we changed the psu, psu didn't fix the issue. After 20 minutes I unplugged the dvd drive and that's what was causing it. It honestly looked like a power supply issue but now at least her 10 year old setup has a new power supply. It's literally the nicest thing in her pc

    This video brought back a memory from when I did this on pentium 4/LGA775/stock cooler. It was really easy to over torque the downdraft cooler and then it would not post. I had just bought a new motherboard because the original(prebuilt compaq presario) motherboard caps blew up and was convinced there was some OTHER major problem like a DOA board or a psu issue. I didn't really understand what was going on, and felt like a genius when I finally figured it out.

  • @badopcode
    @badopcode 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    YES! Biggest problems I've seen people do with tech is WAY too much torque (this is not a car tire going down a bumpy road.) Than after that absolutely no focus on torque balance of things with multiple bolts. I had actually bought a micro torque driver not just to speed up the torque balance procedures but to show how far off the rails customers were with their DYI upgrade. I'd bet my last dollar that if you tested this, you would have found two corners relatively the same torque and than one corner the threads are barely grabbing while the opposite corner was suitable torque for a car part. Like a see-saw it will jack the CPU cockeyed into the socket.

    I had a P4 that was in a tower case and I put a Zalman solid copper fin heat sink on it. You may remember it. It was fins pressed together about 4" spread out. The thing must have weighed a pound. Well, in a tower case, that eventually tweaked the mobo enough. If I hit my desk just a little, REBOOT. Took it off and all was good.

  • @NSA-admin
    @NSA-admin 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    This video has taught me some more important and often overlooked complexities of cooling and general closeness of components like pins on an IC/CPU. Even a tiny shutdown is cooling the system enough to create some major failure but maybe only temporarily. And it cannot be expected that every computer user knows this. This video stands for itself and it's usefulness. Even if what is being taught (expansion and contracting of objects based on heat and the general proximity them in such a tight space.) is actually pretty common knowledge, the presentation of it in the way that Jay has lends such clarity. The shit out of it.
