Hi all,
What a fiasco. I was being a complete idiot and not installing my hyper 212 evo correctly. I applied thermal paste and put it on the processor. I tried screwing the 212 evo down but it wouldn't fit. My only option was to lift it up and adjust the spring loaded bracket. I did so, and was going to wipe down the thermal paste on both the processor and the evo, but realized I had no rubbing alcohol.
I went ahead and just put the evo back on the processor without doing anything to the already applied thermal paste.
In my UEFI (Asus z97-a), it is telling me my processor is at 30 Degrees C sitting in the UEFI/BIOS. Does this seem warm, or normal?
If I do need to reapply paste, won't the current paste dry up meaning I won't be able to lift the evo off the processor since it would act as a glue of sorts?
Thank you guys so much
