Problem with temperature distribution at 4790K
It's definitely something here. If you're not interested in upgrading, leave it alone—it can harm the CPU if it runs too hot. However, fixing it is more dangerous unless you have the right equipment.
It’s clear that overheating causes blue screens, which will damage the OS before affecting the CPU. Watching tutorials makes it easy to identify the faulty component. You only need a sharp blade for this job. Some people use a vice, which inspired the idea of using a die-mate tool. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I’ve worked on a few chips, mostly soldered ones.
Fortunately, I've upgraded my main system, and my Plex server still performs well with its current specs, so I might consider removing it, especially since it doesn't seem valuable right now. Good to hear. I'll explore this option and let you know if I need guidance. Also, I was testing everything on a temporary Windows setup, so that's no issue there.
