I decided to take the plunge today and delid my i5, keep it naked underneath my Dark Rock Pro 2 cooler and hope for some damn good temps.
I put the CPU into the vice, tried to squeeze it, later realizing that I needed to not just squeeze the metal together xD
So 2nd attempt and the CPU lid comes off, I clean it up, prying some of the excess glue off with my thumb nail, took the CPU retention bracket off of my mobo, put it in, put a reasonable amount of arctic silver 5 onto it... Now it won't post at all.
Tis an Asrock board, error 55, I am literally stuck with no idea where to go next.
I tried cleaning off any dirt or grease that may have come off my hands onto the CPU pins, cleaned any excess arctic silver 5 off of any nearby components by the die itself.
I took a photo of the pins on my mobo and there is no visible signs of one that is out of place, I thoroughly inspected the CPU for scratches and there is none.
The only idea I have to go off of is I had a bit of oil on my hands from the vice, barely that much, maybe some got onto the CPU, then onto the pins and now I've cleaned the CPU there's still some slight residue left?
Any ideas?
