Hey all,
I wanted to upgrade my older CPU cooler, and purchased a h75 from Corsair.
I've installed a 105 of these before, with no issues at all. After installing the first time, I think
I may have tightened the thumbscrews, onto the standoffs that keep the block in place, too much.
Suddenly I was getting a red, DRAM_Led lighting up on the Asus Maximus Ranger VII motherboard. The computer would no longer start up, even after trying the MemOK! button.
I immediately took off the cooler, the CPU seemed fine, no bent pins or anything, so I tried installing the cooler again. It went better this time, no over tightening, but yeah. Same issue.
The last slot out of the four (B_2) is functional, the computer booted again after putting a stick in there.
I'm thinking I may have broken something when tightening the cooler. What would be the best way to check this? Any help or tips is greatly appreciated.
