Hello, after many days of testing, I would like to know your opinion if you think the processor is broken, the information is as follows:

  • I bought the i7-11700K second hand.
  • I am using i5-10400F to update and configuring the BIOS to the latest version.
  • With the 10400F everything works and I can access the BIOS and Windows 10.
  • With the 11700K it just turns on the fans but it also heats up a bit so in theory it should work.
  • Motherboard is Gigabyte H510M H V2 (rev 2) and it is compatible as mentioned in compatibility,
  • The motherboard is brand new and since it works with the 10400F should not be the problem.
  • I have tried connecting it to the integrated graphics and GPU but nothing works.

Is there anything you know that I might be missing? Any idea is welcome as I am desperate and I have spent more than 250€ between the processor and the new board.

Cheers
