Hi,
I bought a Noctua NH-C14 recently for my i5-3570k in response to how lackluster the stock Intel heatsink is. I installed it, following the instructions to the letter, but the computer wouldn't boot properly afterwards. No signal would be sent to the monitor, mouse or keyboard, and the LAN socket lights were off. In addition, the memory warning light ('MemOK' on an Asus P8Z77-v mobo) was on, indicating a memory error. (For a fuller description of a virtually identical issue, see this thread)
After reinstalling the stock heatsink, everything was back to normal. Has anybody else experienced this problem, or have any idea what might have caused this error?
Thanks,
John
