Thanks for the info, I use the MX-2 biggest tube I can find at a reasonable price on Newegg as I remember. The only other thing might be that the CPU is so big it has cold spots and getting condensation in the pin area of the socket was rainy last couple days and had to go from 8c to 12c to keep from having a lake on top of the block. Added; will give it a hard look with the magnifier and see. Was worried about that X299 has a lot of real a state, first CPU I actually spread the TIM with a card. why spread it with a card ales ? ive always used me finger mate, never had an issue, do you put vaseline on your block and then wrap it up in a twirled up cloth, it does help to stop condensation dropping down into the socket, i havent had an issue for a while doing it this way, i dunno maybe your condensation works different over there to ours here but its still condensation, foam pads around the water block and socket are a must too, no air gets in no condensation, they both get smeared with vaseline as well |

One of my Infinity A boards is acting up, won't boot or anything but worked fine the last time I tried it.
That's kinda how things go here, one moment it's working then it's not.
I'll mess around with it later.

sad day for me here GTX 980 kingpin bit the big one dunno whats wrong with it but 3 systems I tried it in every time you install the drivers the screen goes blank and it crashes try to restart as soon as it gets to windows blank screen so I know its done also now my X99 mobo refuses to install win10 and let me install any kind of VGA driver as soon as I do blank screen I got it to install windows 7 and let me install the 8800 GT drivers (only VGA I got with heatsink) so now I am gonna try to RMA MSI X99A Gaming 7 mobo see what happens prob just gonna but new X99 mobo and sell the RMA when it gets back

without a driver it will display windows 10 both cards as soon as I install nvidia drivers it goes blank the 8800 GT would install the WDDM window driver with 7 and it would work fine my X99 is working right now with the 8800 GT on NVidia driver but if I were to install win10 it would freak the heck out with drivers installed

well i dunno a whole lot about it, but if it display on windows it tells me the cards are ok, if the cards wont display in windows with the windows drivers then yes id say a card issue, but they do, im sure pete or scotty will have something to add , i'd try a 3D bench on the windows drivers and see how they perform

Shady, have had the same problem with the Nvidia drivers wasn't anything with the card more a MB problem.
Ozz, went to the card (cut the width of the CPU) as I can use it like a putty knife and get a nice thin layer over the whole surface, fingers tend to leave clumps.

ok righto, i noticed some clumps too when i do it , but try smooth it out, i normally use a small pea size of paste, some blokes say a grain of rice size, i dunno how big a grain of rice they get over where ever they are but here it aint real big  , and all depends on what paste you use as well, some spread better than others, tried the just peas size and let the cpu heat spread it itself, and the spread by hand method, id prefer to spread allover the cpu face myself, but too much paste is can leak down into the socket and that can be a pain in the arse with intel pins, ive bent a few in that scenario b4 tryin to clean it off with my old eyes , ill try the card trick, coz all is needed is a very light thin smear of it in it ? |

I use the pea (actually about half a pea) concept on everything (lower left, upper right, lower right, upper left) but 1366 & 2066. 1366 gets a line down the center and tighten left side right side (left handed) through a few tightness's.

just set another board up on the floor, table anywhere and try it if you can , then youll know if its the board without pullin the pc apart

Used a different MB, if you used the cards in the board before got something going wrong.

I tried the kingpin in my OCF it did the same shit on win 7 I installed win 7 on x99 system same shit with the kingpin the 8800 GT works fine in both X99 and Z170 systems on win 7 I put 10 on X99 tho and it will not take any drivers even the 8800 it is running with now

Have you tried one of the other slots, had a X58 I used a lot main PCIe slot got a little worn over time, does sound like the 980 might be going to bed a little early.

tired the card in 3 different mobos 2 different OS still same shit EVGA approved my RMA so I will be shipping it off this week its been acting weird since the day I bought it crashing when I 1st start it up for the day as soon as I put a 3D load (gaming benching ...) it would crash blank screen I would have to walk over unplug the HDMI and plug it back in cause the driver would crash

Are you using a different monitor or different resolution Jas than you used too I had a similar problem with an R9-290 screen would go blank, wouldnt work unless I used an old driver turned out the later drivers didnt like the 1680x1050 monitor I was using.
You have got a 980 Classy too does that work OK in the same setup same driver?

I dont know the wife has the GPU in her PC I didnt check that but yea I was using the same 4K TV I been using since I built this PC it was working fine an hour or so before that when I shut it off to take the mem out to put in Z170 mobo I also tried 2 drivers the 385 and 388 drivers I had saved on my flash drive from using so many different systems so I tried different drivers also and both previously worked I tired different slots my board has 4 or 5 slots I tried all them I will have to test when I get home with the classy 980 and see if it does it with that GPU the only thing I can think of then would be the PSU |

pretty sure i killed the daily, on the lappy now, dickhead me didnt turn the psu off did i,was changing the gpu and it fell, pc tried to power up twice, hasnt booted since, asrock 790 fx deluxe 3,wasnt much of aboard anyway, next board in the daily is gunna be intel and ddr2,i dont need anything quicker, ales p5wd with a 8400, 8500 at 4.2 to 4.5 mhz, half decent ram will do the job just fine  |

What happens when you hit the power button fans spin up and nothing else?
Put a known good GPU in it and clear cmos and see what happens.

Put a known good GPU in it and clear cmos and see what happens. yep all spins up, maybe all isnt lost, LED bug code readout was stopping on d3 all the time so i looked in the book, d3 is a memory issue so i reseated it, i pulled the battery and put clr cmos jumper on overnight, but to get to the battery the sound card has to come out now it goes thru the led numbers and stops on 85 , back to the book and thats a display issue, its got a cable from the front unit to the sound card with an older type ide sort of cable and dopey me didnt take a real good look b4 i unplugged it did i, now i cant get the display screen to work, ive hooked the cable up wrong somehow |

yay all goin again , thought id killed it for sure, i put that 7900 GS card in that comes up a 7950 GT in cpuz and techpowerup we were yakkin about on the phone yesterday , i tried clearing the cmos 6 times yesterday both with the button on the rear of the backplane and the physical jumper but obviously wasnt a long enough clear time, over night did the trick |

not wrong pete, saved me a lot of stuffin around changin motherboards, especially the way this is configured in this case, the little 40mm x 10mm fan thats hot glued to the cpu backplate, all the cable ties and psu cables on the right side of the case , and all the other stuff in it, to change all that isnt a quick excercise to do |

hwbot.org/benchmark/reference_frequency/Guys if I'm to try benchmark above. It's like submitting a ram frequency or a cpu frequency. I'm a little rusty Idea is on Socket A + I'm not sure using XP if any web browsers will work with it now? Edit. oops thought I posted in the general section

Edit. oops thought I posted in the general section More towards ram frequency and depending on the divider you choose... Goal is to get the highest FSB as possible. Hope I answered that correctly  |

hd 6950 showing artifacts suddenly in xp. i was running 3dmark03 972/1375 much below the card can actually do. crashed in the middle of nature test 2 times and after restart showing dots at some places and slowly spread to the whole screen and looks blurred. no problems in safe mode. then did a system restore and finally no artifacts but is this card showing signs of damage or else it's some other problem(driver related). for now it's working ok.
it's a great card. given hundreds of points.
