Hello again, I am here with more questions regarding my motherboard, RAM, and CPU cooler. As previously stated, after installing my corsair H110 my memory controller was not connecting just right with the socket pins and ended up creating error code 53; a memory initialization error. After a quick response, I follow the instructions to reset the cpu (uninstall/install) and everything worked fine. The default fans that came with the h110 were quite noisy and irritating, so after some research I purchased two Corsair AF140's to hook up. They arrived today and I shutdown my system, turned the power supply off, unplugged it from the wall, then opened my cases' side panels. I easily swapped the default 140's with the AF140's without disturbing the waterblock in any way. I didnt even move the case. The only questionable or problematic thing that was done was that I removed the RAM stick to screw the fans into the radiator, After all this I booted my system up and error code 53 was there in no time at all. Just like previously, the error code 53 showed a ram error, while 55 means no RAM is installed. I tried booting without RAM to prove this and with no RAM, it showed 53. This means that the CPU memory controller or the motherboard may be damaged. I have tried to reset the RAM, update BIOS and clear the CMOS, but to no avail.

In both pistures the system is on and all fans are running full speed, thought the shutter in the last pisture was quite faster.

Any help understanding what could cause this error would be appriciated,

I did not know which slot '2' was so I tried in slots B1, A2, and B2 respectively and I saw no change in the error codes. As suggested I might try to reset the CPU in the socket as that what fixed this issue this time, but I will have to go get more thermal compund because I have none left. Do any hardware stores sell thermal compound such as ace hardware? If not should I wait for a Newegg order?

Take out the RAM and use a clean and dry paintbrush to clean the inside of the Slots. Use some 90% isopronanol and clean the golden contacts on the RAM. If it still doesn't work get some other ram and test it on your mobo after which you can come to a solid conclusion about your RAM/Mobo.

Hello, I am back with some news. Before my H110, I had a phanteks which had extra thermal compound It was ph-ndc. I tried reseating the CPU into its socket; It didn't work. I tried using different RAM; It didn't work. I was going to use konakr94's method, but I had no paint brushes that were clean (or could be cleaned). So I used a can of air to blow things out of the DIMM slot, still to no solution. I have been led to believe it is a CPU/Mobo error because the initialization error still shows when NO RAM is installed. I saw no blemishes or disalignment in the socket pins or on the receptacles on the CPU... I have no idea how to fix this or, even, what has caused it.

I will be out of the house most of today so I may not be able to test solutions, however all answers are welcome. Again, thanks for any help provided,
