Hi guys!
I´m new on the forum, but have been reading reviews and opinions from this site for a whiiiiile.
I got my new system 3 weeks ago, I´m running:
- Phenom II 940.
- Crucial Ballistix 800Mhz.
- Gigabyte 790X-UD4P.
- Gtx 280 SC edition.
- Hyper 212 CPU cooler.
- Corsair 750w PSU
I´ve mounted the hyper 212 from a ground install, never tried the stock HSF that came with the CPU, everything was running ok, between 3,2Ghz and 3,5Ghz (stable) with temps around 39°-40° Idle and 54°-56° Load (°C) - room temp around 25-26° - I thought they were a bit high for an aftermarket cooler (being the CPU limit 62°) so I purchased Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste, I removed the paste that came with the cooler and applied this one (x shaped application, not too much, not too little ,you know), after everything was assembled again the system was not starting, not even showed the BIOS screen, checked PSU, VGA, RAM in another rig, and everything worked perfect, also short the CMOS button of the MOBO, and still the same. So (for the first time) mounted the stock Phenom HSF and AS5 an system runned ok. Again, I removed the stock cooler and put on the Hyper 212, and the same issue happened: system wasn´t starting! So I removed the AS5 and put again the stock paste, and "voilá", system started perfectly.
(Also applied the AS5 on a C2D E7200 and worked perfectly)
Have this happened to you guys??? what this could be for???....don´t know really which one to blame: the H212 or the AS5!! jaja
Thanks in advance guys!
Regards from Venezuela!
