really funky, but whatever works, right. though that sounds like it would be very interesting to try and capture all of the signaling going in/out of the Chip on the Boards that magically fix the CPU's to try and visualize how it's managing that. partly since depending on what signal combination it's doing, one could even potentially do it just with a Multimeter or something. or at the very least, in some other Board and injecting the sequence in.
huh, guess I’m not crazy then…. I used my cursed x5660 a lot on my R3BE and had a lot of issues mostly boot block recovery, seems like in my Bloodrage the cpu works totally fine. Probably a Foxconn thing but still good to know considering I have a few
Should be able to replicate this on a similar chipset. I looked into this as have a lot of older CPUs that are untestable due to no longer having the boards. Would be handy to say "yes, it identifies correctly and shows normal current flow under test conditions" to weed out chips with internal shorts or dead cores.
I have done this a while ago as well, with Gigabyte x58a-oc, R3E, R3F no post, throw once in Bloodrage, post to bios and then it works in everything else. Chip still works to this day.
@@Ground15 I tried cleaning up the back of mine, etc but no go. I think it has some damage as there's a very visible ding where it was seemingly dropped and a LGA land has a big dent in it. Supposedly there are fixes for this however.
Could it be a blood rage transfusion?🤔🙃😅. In all seriousness I once experimented something similar but with a dying Seagate 750GB SATA 1 HDD, the onboard SMART circuitry somehow recorded too much errors and sector reallocation and after failing to format and reinstall any OS I finally decided to put it into a surveillance DVR and format it there and magically it revived it. I lasted for about another year before it finally failed mechanically. My suspicion is that maybe the CPU's in question have something programmable internally kind of an EEPROM bit that maybe indicate if the CPU itself have been sustain over voltage and thus could damage a motherboard due to a risk of an internal short and kind of disable itself before this could happen after an unsuccessful boot, the Foxconn mainboard maybe resetting that bit inside the CPU each time and thus reviving it.
Any tips or video how to run/setup i9-14900K on Z690 Dark since there are no bios updates? Kingpin made it run OK but maybe you know if the Bios updates are still coming. Thank you for your hard work!
@@LuumiJuhani Many thanks. Please kindly mention Z690 Dark possible setting as well (Z790 was somewhat redundant to buy), latest bios 2.13 to work with. Thanks much again!
That is really weird... but I usually sell my old(er) stuff so I never saw this before. PS why not screw the waterblock on instead of just laying it on top? 😉
@@Ground15 Seconded, even a cheap slimline heatsink on its own will work. I've done this numerous times. If you don't run it for literally hours then this won't hurt it. Paste is important though.
How to revive dead EVGA bios team
My z690 dark will never get 14th gen support...
The board probably contains a hidden/secret/undocumented cpu reset. Only possible answer I think.
Something like that.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
Even if this works finding a Bloodrage, Dreadnought or other Foxconn Quantum Force mobos would be a miracle.
I found one, the "Foxconn Flaming Blade X58" and bought it today ;)

Those motherboards are sick! So jealous!

Are you use it wasn't just cpu socket contact issue? Older boards do tend to have them sometimes.
Absolutely, I've done this a few times already. And before doing this I tried the 980X a few times with CRC cleaning on the backside of the cpu.

Bios 1.15 works on Z790 at least. I will do content soon.

The best!
Ok that's awesome and weird lol

for quick testing thats plenty of cooling

So weird. I wonder it if its a microcode thing.
I don't think microcode would make sense.
@@LuumiJuhani nothing about this makes sense lol
