Artifacts with i7-7700k HD630

[sWirL84]

Hi all,

Just managed to build a PC last night with the following components:

Mobo: Asus Strix Z270G
CPU: i7-7700k
RAM: Corsair Vengence 3200Mhz 2x8GB
PSU: Corsair RM650x

No overclocking done yet and CPU is cooled by Corsair H100i v2. Overall seems fine and swift except that in Windows, there are small artifacts appearing randomly even when idle on the desktop. What puzzles me is that this is using the integrated graphics in the CPU.

Initially thought it could be caused by a faulty displayport cable but these artefacts even appear through remote desktop (i.e., other pc remote in and can still see the artifacts appearing randomly remotely)

Other things tried:
- Windows Memory Diagnostics came up fine (not yet tried Memtest)
- Removed XMP profile and ran at default 2400Mhz, same issue
- Installed latest intel graphics drivers, no difference

Will only be back at home later today and intend to try the following:

1) Reseat RAM/ test 1 at a time
2) Change to HDMI connection

Need to pick the wisdom of the community here...anything else I can try?

Thanks!

Remove the CPU from socket very carefully and check if there are any bent pins on the CPU socket on mobo.

Try installing igpu drivers from mobo website instead?

whoa, thought bent pins means can't even boot up... Will do that as a last resort, else have to get new thermal paste liao..haha

Oops, missed out. Yes I tried that already.

The drivers for OpenGL and DirectX 11/12 are buggy as sh!t on the drivers shared by Skylake and Kabylake, previously Haswell and broadwell too. It only started becoming better between 4454-4481 and then hardware acceleration issues came with 4501 and later IIRC.


Though, you can use the Kabylake Intel NUC driver page for newer HD 6XX driver versions.

Windows Update version is 4541 IIRC, NUC page is 4542 though the page says 4550. The unified drivers will work on HD 630 as well.

Edit: On a second read if you can't rule out those issues with basic desktop use on the current NUC7 drivers as well, then hardware issues are still a probable cause.

My old PC used to have artifacts when playing games. 2D output on desktop is fine though. It went away after I changed a new gfx card

Just RMA bah... Could be defective GPU module.

are there artifacts when u remove intel graphics driver & using default windows 10 (without internet, no auto win update driver)?

This is good to rule out driver issue.

If still have artifacts, then maybe faulty gpu
