Hi guys, I have a computer that won't turn on. This all happened after installing a 212 evo. Its weird cause it booted fine before I installed it. I hit power and nothing, no fans or anything. I believe the PSU is dead because it just makes a faint clicking noise. I tried my friends PSU in my mobo and nothing so I think the mobo is dead too xc. The paper clip test did work. So I'm just extremely worried it took out my CPU as well. I'll post my main specs below.

Specs:
I5-3570k
Gskill 8gb ram
Gigabyte b75m d3h
Hyper 212 evo
 
Solution
Click usually means that it discharged.
Did you try stock intel fan, and are you sure that you didn't connect anything wrong and check the molex connectors if anything is shorted.

the cooler may not be installed properly or you bumped something, breadbox your setup
