SWTOR Damaged My i7 2600K

Impossible.

Swtor doesn't stress your cpu as much as specific tools which are actually created to stress test your CPU. Use prime95 or even better IntelBurnTest I doubt it could handle those programs then.

And i7 automatically downclocks when temps get near tJunction value. If not, the CPU was faulty anyway. (Yes, CPU's can be damaged and still work, even some people deny thats possible)

I've had a damaged processor with faulty MMX or SSE instructions, it caused every and all image or video which was rendered with help of those instructions to be distorted no matter what mainboard or system I put the CPU into. (Mind you it was a Pentium II) Never the less it's possible.

Better than you for sure LMAO

Idiotic comments like that are typical for forums such as this. Kids.

You completely missed the entire point of my post, then tried the old and tired get out clause at the end of your hyperbolic statement.

Ahh well.

my swtor client is the stable one, frand.

Your not entirely right about what you all said.

1. First of all, overclocking can mean two things. Overclocking stock speeds or overclocking an already downclocked component. (Apple is known for this) So fixing your clocks back to manufacturer specifications cannot always be bad.

If I figure out my GDDR5 memory is not clocked according to the manufacturer specifications I will no doubt pump it up to at least the right clock speed.

2. CPU usage too low to justify overclocking? Isn't that a little more situation dependent? For your information my CPU is bottlenecking my GPU at the moment, if you see my signature you will find out why. Its overclocked from 200Mhz FSB to 333MHz which is quite a jump, clock speeds from 3.2 to 3.83Ghz. My FPS boosted like 20FPS. I can probably push the FSB even further to 400MHz if I want without extreme measures/voltages. Why would I NOT fully utilize my hardware if I am able to?

3. So my card gets around 90 degrees with full stress. (Using a stress testing program which hardly needs CPU so it cannot be bottlenecked. In swtor it gets around 75/80C. No problem. GPU's can handle 85/90C just fine. It's not dangerous at all. Laptops often run in the 90's as well even with maximum fan speeds. If they couldn't handle the stress/temperatures the laptop would be faulty.

Who's the kid here?

Exactly the same here.

Good solid gaming rig.
But it messes up the system pretty bad.

Once i stopped playing the problems went away.

Just seen this thread.

1/ Problem:BSOD
2/ Cause:2 x EVGA GTX460 1GB in SLI
3/ Fix: Disable SLI
4/ ?
5 Profit.

prolly cuz you SLI with 1gb cards

This is the only game for me that reach 97c with my mobile GTX485m, i have other high demanding games such as crysis 1 and 2 that runs at 80c

Why on earth does this game put my GPU up so high ??? i always clean my coolers and rechecked it but it's dust free.

I do believe the first poster that software can damage hardware (a virus can do it too anyway)

It also might not be good... especially if its based on a chip that has a higher native speed. It is more often than not downclocked for good reason (faulty pipeline on one core, so they downgrade it on that part... not stable at stock frequency, but stable at a lower one... dont overclock that one )
