hi about a month ago i bought an a10-5800k. i installed it into my motherboard and booted the system. nothing happened and i found out the motherboard was fried. i reverted to my old cpu and bought a new motherboard.

with my new motherboard i am looking to upgrade my old processor. i would like to know how NOT to fry another motherboard.

NOTE: i think the cause of my mbo frying was the improper use of an adequate cooler for the a10

cpu- A6-6400k
mbo- msi a78m-e45
ram- 8gb adata premier
video card- asus 7790
psu- cx600
