EPTI would try restarting it. Im imagining what a normal fan running at 65k RPM would sound like.
But also only one core is showing up. And I dont think this was under load either.

Though there is a problem as there should be four cores shown, you only have one shown. Can you cross check with CPU-Z and RealTemp as well. You still have your voltage set to manual so it's probably best for you to reset to BIOS default and check HW Monitor again. | ||

For $2500, I'd of course build on LGA2011 but you said processor is the last of his concerns so hex and octo cores may not be worth it. LGA1155 is limited to 32gb and quad cores while LGA2011 is expandable to 64gb and octo cores. Building on LGA1155 will of course not come close to $2500 without doing a multi-GPU configuration. For GPU, you basically want a 7970 for this budget but the good ones are extremely hard to find right now because everyone wants it. You can pre-order the ASUS HD7970 DirectCuII at Amazon for $580: http://www.amazon.com/DirectCU-1000MHz-Overclocked-Graphics-HD7970-DC2T-3GD5/dp/B00739TCH8/ If you can't wait than you can grab a Radeon HD7950 for $100 less. Plextor M3 128gb for $160 is a hot deal right now: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820249014 You'd obviously want a nice case and power supply for such a build. I'd suggest the Antec P280 for $112: http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=65170 and a Capstone 550: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182068 if you are doing a single GPU configuration. If you are looking for something modular than a Seasonic X is a nice option that's fully modular but is also significantly more expensive. For 32gb, you'd want / need 8gb modules, $208 with promo code until the 22nd: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231487 You'd want a Noctua NH-D14, Phanteks PH-TC14, or a Thermalright Silverarrow. I'm back with some more questions, the purchase got a bit delayed and there are some options on a few things we didn't nail down. 1) The option to go nuts with RAM pretty much guarantees that we'll be going with an LGA2011 motherboard. It looks like there are three real options, cheapest to most expensive being i7-3820 (~$400), i7-3930k (~$700), and i7-3960x (~$1000). I'm assuming the 3820 can't overclock and would probably underperform for this build/budget, though since I don't do intensive modelling myself I wouldn't know if the CPU is not the bottleneck. The 3930k seems like a very attractive middle ground, is there any pressing reason to not take it over the 3960x? 2) Is there a particular motherboard/manufacturer that we should be looking at? 3) The friend that is building this is definitely considering running SLI, particularly noting the benchmark performance/price ration for the GTX 480. I know this would be a power hog and run quite hot, though it does seem that it would outperform the 7970 for somewhat cheaper. Another option may be a single GTX 480, being about $300 cheaper than the 7970 and benchmarking not that much behind it. What are the pros/cons that I'm missing here, and what would be the final advice? 4) We obviously missed the SSD sale, so a new SSD recommendation would be appreciated. Also, what are notable differences between different SSDs? In terms of performance, reliability, etc.? 5) If we did go with dual GTX 480s, or a single one, what would be the power supply changes? Two cards would presumably push us past 550W. 6) Considering that my friend has been more insistent on getting a lot of RAM in this system than he has been about any other component might this be the rare case where 1600 or higher frequency RAM (if that's the right terminology) is actually worth it? Or still stick with 1333? Looking at the prices for anything above 1600 I'm assuming we would be better off going for 64GB of 1333, but 1600 isn't that much more expensive. | ||

I would reseat the CPU. But it looks like you might have fried 3 cores when playing with the voltage. Though I dont really think so. Maybe. SkyR? Double check with CPU-z. @ Melancholia I doubt we will be recommending 480 anything since that is old technology now. The performance value over the 7970 is on paper performance only since 2 GPU setups have microstuttering issues, you would have to go to 3X480 just to smooth it out and games that dont support this relegate you to a single 480 which is also bad news. You want single card setups and a Rosewill 550W can power two 7970's unless the OC is extremely large in which case it might be cutting it close. I dunno maybe its close anyway. Two 7950's should be easy though. | ||

I bought all parts from NCIX just as they were. In the worst case, I just don't want to break anything else. I mean the CPU might be in trouble, but I hope the GPU, mobo, ram, etc is unaffected... | ||

I don't want to say if the rest of your computer is fine because I actually cant be 100 percent certain what you did and did not change. Ill just say that your GPU should be fine. | ||

Go into the BIOS and load "optimzed defaults" or something like that. Alternatively, find the place in the BIOS where individual CPU cores can be disabled/enabled and check that all cores are enabled. | ||

Kay I'll let you in on my embarrassing story... I was trying to change the multiplier, so I just did exactly as the guide said, I changed the multiplier to 44x and here comes the REALLY bad part. I needed to move the voltage up, but it said the highest I could put it is 0.615... I am retarded and I thought it was the final voltage not the incremental. I brought my voltage to 1.8 for a few seconds. Thing is my computer was working for the last few hours, it's just once I reset the settings to what you suggested it wouldn't turn on... So I'm hoping my other hardware isn't fried... | ||

I don't want to put my foot down on something I dont know wtf I am talking about. EDIT: And since it late, at least in the states, I think now is a good time to go to bed. | ||
