So, yesterday I bought the seidon watercooler for my MSI 970 gaming motherboard, so I decided to install it right away without warming up the machine first, I took a hairdryer and used it on the socket to warm the thermal paste so I could remove the fan without damaging the CPU, but it wasn’t comming off no matter what I did so I decided to put just a little strength in and pulled the cooler out of the socket, I thought everything was fine until I glanced at the socket and realized the CPU was missing, it was at this moment that I knew, I messed up. So I removed the CPU gently with a screwdriver by pushing from underneath and tried reinstalling into the socket, the lever was still down so I lifted it up and installed both the a CPU and water cooler correctly. But upon pressing the startup button I realized, all the USB ports were non responsive and the monitor displayed no video. I tried clearing cmos by the pins and battery, trying another CPU, cleaning the Ram and the Gpu’s connectors, starting with only one stick of Ram, then I removed all Ram and waited for the beep noise that never came out of the system.
I already bought another Motherboard through the Internet but I have been wondering if there’s something else I can try to revive the board?
Thanks in advance.
