Dude I'm so PO'd you have no idea. Months and thousands spent on finding this batch and this POS chip just DIES.

You know what's even funnier? I never pushed Vcore past 1.35v. QPI never went above 1.35v also. Except when I had QPI LLC disabled and QPI set to 1.38125v. I turned the system off and switched the jumper to enable QPI LLC. Turned it back on so I guess QPI got set to 1.38v actual. I set it down to 1.35v and restart, and the system keeps restarting after POST. Set Bios to defaults and on restart, Vcore was being set to 1.14375v manually by the Bios??

I'm thinking it was a combination of dieing motherboard that took the cpu with it. man why always me...
