Oh by the way, most of us have fan/fans blowing onto the VRM sink since when water cooling comes into play there is no air wash from air-cooled cpu to blow over the VRM sink to aid in removing hot air from the sinked area. Good luck with RMA and hope it is not overly lengthy. I do not know what Asus thinks but just for future reference. When I worked RMA's I told the users to never fool around with the board. It leaves the situation open to the heatsink being pulled at a point not known and a remount of the heatsink being poor. Pulling the VRM heat sink is not a good idea when you want a company to repair something up under it. Write the serial number down so you know if you got another board or your own again repaired. Pics make for evidence you did not send a motherboard in for RMA with a screwdriver gouge in it which is not of your making. Take very good high resolution pics of that board before you send it off. Moving forward to RMA, I have been taught a thing or two. If your luck stinks it may have died in the trajedy. If the cpu is still good or bad is just a real guess. It is for certain that mobo is not going to work without serious repair. Hopefully I can upload a pic for you guys to see. I have a RMA request with ASUS pending but I don't know if the CPU is still good. The smell came from under the VRM heat sink. I had already killed the power by the PSU, when I first heard the odd sound. I heard a faint sizzle sound and then a strong smell of burnt electrical. I rebooted again hoping to clear the error. When I rebooted, I had a red light on the CPU LED. On Saturday, I decided to play COD AW, I was able to play for about 5 min before I got a BSOD. I was able to get a 5087GHz run out of her, so I slowed her down to 4.7 to retweak on another day. Without the update, systems that are connected to a DisplayPort 1.3 / 1.4 monitor could experience blank screens on boot until the operating. I had finally got all the parts installed and was doing some benchmark runs on Friday, trying to tweak the board. To enable the latest DisplayPort 1.3 / 1.4 features we just learned that NVIDIA Maxwell and desktop Pascal graphics cards may require a firmware update.
