So I made a previous thread about me thinking I killed my 4670k after trying to delid it. Well, here I am like three weeks later, and even with a 4690k installed, the PC won't display anything. The computer seems to turn on, since all the fans and the HDD turn on, and the CPU certainly generates heat, but there's no display to the monitor. I've tried it with my GPU and using integrated. I've tried clearing the CMOS. I've tried removing sticks of RAM and moving them around. I've even tried my spare Corsair HX 750 power supply. So I think that I somehow broke the motherboard when installing my Phanteks PH-TC14PE CPU cooler. It's the only thing I can think of. Because maybe I tightened it down too much? This idea still seems far-fetched to me because I didn't break the motherboard the first time I put together the system. And the board looks just fine to me, so I have no idea.
Any clues? I've tried everything I possibly could. Otherwise I'm planning on seeing if I can somehow RMA the motherboard. I ordered it back in late 2015, so I honestly don't know if they'll help me out or not. I've already wasted enough money on a replacement CPU, so I'd rather not waste anymore.
