Ok so this is my first system build. two questions here.
1. When I was putting the cpu fan on the motherboard it was tricky getting the pins to click (cpu is the E8400 and stock fan), I incedently removed the fan after it was placed on the CPU. As soon as I saw this happen (took 1 second) I immediately put it back on the same way it was (at tops the grease was stuck to cpu for about 3 seconds). Did I just destroy the cpu?
2. The cable for the fan is to short to reach the connection of the motherboard. However, I see that the cable of the cpu stock fan goes around the fan, can i take it out a few notches then connect it?
