FROM-NZXT Kraken x62 Rev 2 98.17 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
TO-Arctic Liquid Freezer III 280 Black
My PC is now not posting, and I have done all the reseat everything, plug in stuff, boot with this in and out, etc.
I am not sure really what could be wrong, the fans and pump are on and working, as well as some LED strips I have plugged into the MOBA, but none of my peripherals or monitors are turning on/being recognized. When it does the boot my Q-LED lights are; CPU, DRAM, VGA, and BOOT. It blinks CPU and then just sits solid Yellow on DRAM. I tested different slots and singular ones with the same outcome.
I thought this would just be an easy swap and have done one before, so not sure what the issue could be! Really appreciate any help.
UPDATE FIX:
Alright, so after all the test I last ditch effort bought a magnifying glass and attmepted to get these pins back in order, as you pointed out may have been bent. Lined them up the best I could to the other ones surrounding it and got it all re-seated to it working!
