I recently bought the Noctua NH-D14 CPU cooler because my old stock one was too noisy. The removal of my old CPU fan turned out a bit messy because I ended up pulling it off the mobo along with the processor instead of twisting it back and forth so it separates from the processor like I found out later. I put it in the oven to soften up the thermal paste as I read from another thread on this forum because the two were stuck together (it was the cooler that came with the cpu with the pre-applied thermal paste).
It worked, and after I finally got the two separated I noticed that some of the pins on the cpu were bent. I straightened them out with tweezers, but in the process a pin ended up breaking off.
I read in another thread here that there still is a chance the cpu might work so I put it back in, applied the thermal paste according to the instructions that came with the Noctua cooler, and mounted it on.
After plugging everything in, I turned on the computer. All the fans were working, including the new cooler. The problem is nothing was showing up on my monitor. I tried plugging the DVI cable into my motherboard instead of my graphics card with no avail. I then tried it with another monitor with a VGA cable and also no luck.
My specs:
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black edition 3.4 GHz
ASUS M4N78-PRO motherboard
Corsair XMS2 DDR2 memory
Thermaltake TR2-430 PSU
Samsung 1 TB HDD (not sure which model specifically)
Galaxy GT430 graphics card
Thermaltake Commander MS-I Snow Edition case
I'd greatly appreciate if someone were to help me out with this.
Thanks,
Daniel
