Yes, but he tested on a gigabyte board too. Memory was also swapped, still no post. It seems to be the IMC and thus a dead 6700k
Considering he is using Asus with their own custom LGA1151 socket, it may simply be the socket. Its seen before with Asus.
But again, he is getting memory errors. He would get no error codes like this with a completely dead CPU.
From the Asus tech:

Doesn't Intel already have an AVX related throttling (separate TDP limit)?It seem if you are using accelerate instruction sets that hammer the cpu with unnatural loads at voltages beyond the spec then it can cause damage. Intel would have tested and tuned for longevity within spec. so best not use these programs when overclcked, especially at high voltages.
The thing is, Prime95 is NOT a "power-virus". It's a distributed-computing app. Lots of people use it for the intended purpose (searching for prime numbers) every day.
If Intel were sloppy in terms of engineering SKL for "max loads", then perhaps SKL isn't a good CPU to use for DC rigs.
Edit: Maybe leaving off FIVR was a mistake?
I didnt see that when I skimmed the thread. But again, it wouldnt be the first time a custom ASUS OC socket kills a CPU on its own.

Microcenter has the i7 6700k listed.(my area sold out) Check your local area for stock.
NotebookItalia @ Translator said:...At the moment, the two SKU preorder in Europe (mainly in Belgium and the Netherlands) are those with code-UX305CA FB073T and UX305CA-FC042T. The first includes a 13.3-inch touch display IPS qHD + (3200 x 1800 pixels), Intel Core M-6Y54, 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD M.2 expandable with a micro SD card slot. The second has an IPS display 13.3-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels), an Intel Core M-6Y30, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of SSD storage.
In terms of connectivity, for both versions, there are 3 USB 3.0 SuperSpeed ​​ports (one of them also supports ASUS + Charger for fast charging of mobile devices), HDMI, Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi 802.11ac. Let's not forget the ASUS SonicMaster audio technology integrated Bang & Olufsen ICEpower. On board there is Windows 10, of course. The chassis has a color "gray", but it will probably be declined even in the variant "white" and "aurora gold".
The hardware configuration of the Ultrabook does not change much, even if we wait to see him live to be able to appreciate differences aesthetic and constructive. The good news, besides the adoption of the new Intel Skylake-Y, is the price: ASUS Zenbook UX305CA (Full HD) costs 799 Euros, in line with the ASUS version UX305FA with Broadwell that soon will replace, while ASUS ZenBook UX305CA (QHD +) touches the 999 euro.

These are the only information we can get from the FCC but luckily the shop online Australians have already started to put in the first list of configurations HP Spectre X2, offering us some more details.
Three by the time the Australian SKU HP Spectre 12 X2, in addition to that certified by the FCC:
HP Spectre X2 12-a002TU with Intel Core M 6Y54 Skylake Y, DDR3L 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, display 12.5 "WUXGA price 1934AUD;
HP Spectre X2 12-a003TU with Intel Core M 6Y75 Skylake Y, DDR3L 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, display 12.5 "WUXGA price 2299AUD;
HP Spectre X2 12-a005TU with Intel Core M 6Y30 Skylake Y, DDR3L 4GB of RAM, 128GB SSD, display 12.5 "WUXGA price 2016AUD.
The most interesting addition to the new Core Skylake M-Y, is given by the size of the screen, which drops to 12.5 "compared to 13" of Spectre previous X2 . We do not have instead of live images or rendering of the new HP Spectre 12 X2, but we know it has a silver frame slim and compact and weighs 1.2Kg. For photos and videos live with this and other Intel laptop Skylake give you an appointment at IFA 2015 Berlin.
HP also is preparing to upgrade many of its terminals with the Intel Core sixth generation, the American home could also be one of the first to integrate the Core M 6Y30 (Skylake) and in view of the expected official debut at IFA 2015 . The choice Pavillon should rest with the X360, the convertible HP could in fact reach the market with four new new configurations:
HP Pavilion X360 11-K133 with the Intel Pentium N3700 Braswell, 4GB DDR3L, WiFi 802.11ac;
HP Pavilion X360 11-K130 with Intel Celeron N3050 Braswell, 4GB DDR3L, WiFi 802.11ac;
HP Pavilion 11-K135 X360 with Intel Core 6Y30 Skylake M-Y, DDR3L 4GB, 128GB SSD, WiFi 802.11ac;

In stress test mode it is a power virus for the FPUs.
Stress-test mode is not the same as the usual DC app operation.
Those are the normal prices at MC.Microcenter must be getting ready for new Stock.. 4690k's are $199 and 4790k's are $279
Uhh, yes it is. That's the whole point of it.
Ok then, which version of the stress test corresponds to the DC application. Is it small fft, in-place large fft, or blend?
But does yours get locked at the voltage you set or will it still downvolt when idle? That has been my issue before.
I didnt see that when I skimmed the thread. But again, it wouldnt be the first time a custom ASUS OC socket kills a CPU on its own.
SO prime 95 is not safe, what's the best stress program now?

LOL...
Prime 95 is safe, even its torture test, it s the users that dont exactly know how to use it...
Asus don't have a LGA1151 OC socket on any of their Z170 boards.
