12:05 PM - The system from hell
I bought a 11700 CPU to upgrade an existing 10th gen system. Big mistake. Many motherboards for 10th gen do not support 11th gen CPUs. I didn't check and fried the motherboard and RAM. Bought new motherboard and RAM. 2 months later, the integrated graphics fails. This could be the motherboard ports or the iGPU in the CPU. I could test another CPU in the motherboard to see which but I don't trust it to risk the good CPU lol. Â
I should have done a 13th gen build instead. Didn't know I needed to buy new MB/RAM.
