Hahaha, yeah, I'm never doing that again.

Yeah, temperatures are good. I was afraid of pushing too hard cause I never mounted the stock cooler before but once I heard the click snap sound I immediately realized that I was an idiot. But I was glad. I've never been so glad to be an idiot in my life, haha. Sorry for misleading all of you...

Alright guys, sorry for wasting your time. The fan was connected, and the heatsink was on the CPU but I guess one of the screws were little loose. My CPU seems to be just fine. I'm a dumbass. I think I'm gonna name my kid Daniel to keep the Dumbass Dan genes. Thanks guys. I'm really sorry for...

Yep, just checked. I mean, I can still boot my PC. This'll sounds like I'm in shock or in denial but can't I just get a really good cooler? I haven't tested over a long period of time but my idle temperatures were at 50C for about 15-20 minutes, so maybe the base temperatures are higher and to...

Yeah.. something seems sketchy. I don't think I got away unscathed. Uh, no, I did not. I bought my cooler and CPU and installed it and booted it at the same time and never had issues until recently. I cleaned the thermal paste off every time I installed a cooler.

I said in the original post that it wasn't past an hour, but my memory is foggy so I didn't want to say a specific number. I think it was around 10 - 15 minutes? No, I'm sure there was nothing on the CPU. I manually took apart my cooler and didn't install my stock fan. Also don't worry about...

Mmm.. I'm pretty sure I didn't have a heatsink on since I was kinda annoyed that my cooler wasn't working and I wanted to see temperatures before and after. I don't think I mounted it incorrectly either since my temperatures did lower initially but they never maintained that temperature. I was...

Hey guys, DumbassDan here. So basically what happened was I think my CPU cooler stopped working, so being the genius that I am, I remove it off my CPU and run my CPU without anything to take off the heat to "see the temperatures". It's all foggy to me but I don't think left it running for more...
