Hello community!
I come here alot, i am building my first PC and want to make sure i dont touch anything wrong, since this is my whole-life savings on a 500$ PC, i am 13 and cannot afford to buy it again.
My problem is that i apply thermal paste to my CPU, put in the heatsink but my computer still gets ABSURD temperatures, i got scared and looked at the CPU again.
Apparentally, the thermal paste i had put had NOT been spread on either the CPU neither the heatsink, it was still in intact pea form.
I started wondering and searched google for solutions, no one answered me.
I found out that some pins my heatsink were not connected correctly to the motherboard (1155 stock intel cooler on a lga1155 mobo.)
I tried fixing the other pins in but they wouldnt fix in, if one fixed in another one goes off and i had alot of stress.
I thought that my case didnt have enough motherboard holders so i opened the other side of the case and tried pushing my mobo from there, still, no results, apparentally motherboard holders that are left hold it perfectly at the point to hold the heatsink.
Any experts, or people who have had this same problem, i beg you, please help me!
If you ask me: my mobo is an Asrock B75 PRO3-M LGA 1155, using the stock intel cooler, Artic MX2 thermal paste on the i5-3570k ivy bridge from intel.
Thank you for coming by, have a nice day.
