I test installed my board without cooler installed to see if it booted with 4 sticks of matched memory (G.SKILL Trident X Series 8GB DDR3 2400) in XMP. It booted fine. powered down immediately. then screwed on the huge air cooler (Thermalright Macho Rev. A.)
It didn't boot after that. Got an "error code 53- Memory initialization error. Invalid memory type or incompatible memory speed". I'm wondering, did I overtighten the cooler? If so would loosening it let it work? did I break it? could I have broken other things? I'm tired of disassembling the machine.
