Has anybody had problems with the Cooler Master Hyper EVO 212 and the ASUS Sabertooth Z170 Mark1? Ever since I have matched these two it has been nothing but problems, not booting, DIMM A2 won't work, etc. it seems that the cooler is very temperamental as far as tightening it down and the CPU function. Any suggestions as to fixes or compatibility problems? Any new suggestions for coolers that work with the ASUS MB?

The problem is most likely the MoBo itself Mine boots slow once running it's blazing fast but that boot time really irks me. Specs on my sys are: Z170Z Mark 1, Intel i7 4600K, 32GB DDR4 Cosair Vengeance Ram, Seagate SSHD hybrid drive 1 Tb, 1000watt PSU, SoundBlaster Z, Gigabyte Wirelesds/Blutooth, Sabrent USB 3.0 SD reader, LG Bluray/burner, Hyper Evo 212 Cooler, Mid toer atx 8 120MM case fan + 200MM side panel fan. It's like a wind tunnel in there! yet system runs in the 90's which is too hot for my liking. Yet liquid coolers scare me the...
