    is my CPU dead?

    If I decide to take the CPU and Ram to a repair shop to get them tested, how do I pack the CPU without breaking it? I was reading earlier that if I wrap the CPU in the non sticky side of electrical tape, then wrap that in bubble wrap, it should be safe. Would you recommend doing this? or is...

    is my CPU dead?

    You're right, if I owned a business I wouldn't want hundreds of people sending in self-damaged items :p So if I buy a new Z270 motherboard for example, and the CPU I have now is dead, is it possible for the CPU to kill the new motherboard? Or should I just buy everything new, and scrap my old...

    is my CPU dead?

    If I turned the case upside down the top would be on the floor. :confused: I am thinking of getting a Phanteks Evolv case so I can have a solid top while still being vented though.

    is my CPU dead?

    I'll be honest and admit I didn't read the rules of this forum when I joined since I was panicking and needed help, so I didn't know it was against the rules or I would get banned for RMA fraud. However if the CPU and Ram are not technically damaged by urine, since urine did not get on them...

    is my CPU dead?

    So you are saying Gigabyte won't replace it then? Will Intel and G.Skill still take my CPU and Ram since they won't know what the damage is from if there is any, or would they know it's from urine also?

    is my CPU dead?

    I took my motherboard out of the case today, and there was urine running down the back of it, and a tiny bit that I accidentally stuck my finger in on the top of it. Most of it was dried with a paper towel, but a small bit of it is still visible, so I hope that Gigabyte will still honor their...

    is my CPU dead?

    I only found the urine on the side panel where all the cables hide behind the motherboard, other than that I found nothing, the problem is that I don't have any spare parts to test the CPU, motherboard, or ram separately. So all I know is that I have a power supply that works and makes a...

    is my CPU dead?

    After researching a bit on how to test my 850 G2 power supply, I found a test called the paperclip test, so I went ahead and tried it. It turns out my power supply works, but it made a constant clicking sound while being tested, I usually have eco mode on, so the fan is usually not running while...

    is my CPU dead?

    I just got done testing with my brothers 1050 GS, and the power supply doesn't seem to be the problem since it still shows the motherboard and graphics card (2 white lights to confirm cables are plugged in) leds and still won't turn on.

    is my CPU dead?

    When I woke up today and wen't turn on my pc, it was turning on then quickly turning off, and repeatedly did this on its own until I flipped the switch on the power supply. I decided to take off the back panel and it looked like water leaked down the panel, but nothing else was wet, so I...
