so i put together a brand new rig, turned it on the first time, and voila, it works. about three min later, it dies. im like wtf. i turn it back on, dies withen a minute. turn it on again, dies in like 30 sec. i realize it is a heat problem, but i dont know what part. i let it cool off (sit there for like ten minutes) and turn it back on. i quickly go into bios, and go to hardware monitor. i see that my cpu is at 90C !!!!!!!!!!! i pull the power, and curse the stock intel cooler.
my question is: will an e6600 that was at very high temps for very SHORT periods of time be bad for it? like does it lose efficiency because some of the transisters are done for?
also- the reason it was overheating was because the stock cooler w/ the stupid black probes that stick into the motherboard were not pushed down all the way. i clicked them down once, and then realized i had to put all my body weight on them to get them to go down the rest of the way and lock themselves in. at the same time my motherboard is barely holding the flex(i thought to myself, i better not break two parts today..) i dont know how technology has came so far with cpu's, and yet stupid intel still cant figure out how to solve a basic engineering problem...
