Ivy Bridge i5 3570K/i7 3770K batch and o/c results

[docwhom]

I'm sad, unfortunately killed my 3770K. In the process of delid, the blade touched only slightly on the pcb and it was enough. The splinter was so small that I didn't saw it immediately.But with the following behavior soon I saw that something was wrong. He died an hour later. I will buy black thermal selicone and try warranty. At least I'll try.

Sorry it happened to you. I still haven't gone that way of using a Razor blade to delid (because I'm rather useless at trying to do it, plus I hate sharp things). I will try the hammer tap soon. Just that it's hard to delid something that had cost me $379.00AUD a few months back.

Just worried in damaging it and then going through with an attempted Warranty swap. I sure hope yours goes through because I get the feeling I'll be joining you in line with an RMA.
