Killer 4790k? Literally?

[ehume]

I had a bad one as well, but there were some circumstances like the possibility of a bad PSU that caused damage -- kind of like chicken/egg scenario.

In any case, no board worked properly with the chip. Could not install or run Windows, lol. It would just give me an error on load and reboot. RMAing was easy with Intel though. Explained the situation in live chat, got an RMA approved and sent in the busted one, got the new one pretty fast.

Did the new one work?
