I did something stupid...
I was doing some dusting and cable management when I forgot to plug in the sata power for the H150i Pro. I started up the computer and it booted all the way into Windows then shut off before I realized what a stupid stupid thing I did.
Now I don't know if I damaged the 5950x but temps are down 10c at idle and 7c while gaming since before I took it apart. There wasn't a huge amount of dust. Certainly not enough to be featured on Greg Salizar's Free PC Cleaning YouTube channel.
I'm running Cinebench R23 for 10 mins and temps haven't gone beyond 65c which used to sit around 74c. 138.4W. Score; 24699
Did I damage the CPU or did the heat actually do a good thing?
