Have a question and need some help

Ok I was trying to run 9x242 on my system, but i believe i forgot to lower the multiplier from 11 to 9, so I think my system tried to boot at 11x242 which is about 2.7 ghz with 1.85 vcore...Im an idiot... Anyway after that it didnt post so i cleared the CMOS. After that it would post a message saying there was an error loading the operating system. So i rebooted and then it said the video switch was set incorrectly. so i rebooted again, and this time it would not post at all... Tried a different video card still nothing. So i thought the mobo must be dead, so i replaced it with my A7N8X deluxe which i know works just fine. It still did not post.... the only thing left that it could be is the CPU right? Would accidently setting it to 11x242 kill it, even though it didnt run at that speed? Also if the CPU is dead, would the system have posted those two times afterwards.... I dont really see any other piece of hardware that could cause the system not to post now besides the CPU.... Any ideas? Thanks!

Maybe the memory (it would be OC as well, video should not have been with the lock)? If you have a spare stick, try it, or just one stick at a time if you don't have a spare.

I tried each stick seperatly, still wouldnt post. i dont have any other sticks, but i dont think both of the sticks i have now would be dead at the same time. I think the CPU is the only other option?

Could be, hard to say for sure. I would need a working system to try the memory & processor in, but maybe others have a better idea. I can't see the power supply being the cause, however it is also another possibility although unlikely.

1.85Vcore is little steep, what kinda cooling you have?

1.85 is fine i run it at that vcore when benching.... i open up the window. Temps usually around 42C
