I've been using it for about two weeks now and decided to get into OCing, never OCed before after hours of researching and trial and error I got it to load the OS on 4.5 GHz with 1.285V and CPU VRIN Override at 2.0.
However my core degrees were getting really hot so I was skeptical about my cooler not working as in AIDA64 when I would turn my fans all the way up on my cooler it wouldn't do anything.
So today I went out and got some thermal paste and some alcohol to clean the badboy off and reset the cooler. When I took off my CPU cooler I was right and only about 60sh% of my CPU was covered in paste so I reapplied the paste, smeared over a thin layer with a credit card then put my GPU/Hard Drive bay back into place.
So now when I try to turn it on, it doesn't work, what kind of troubleshooting can I do to see what's causing this issue? I've tried looking at the powerswitch cable, tried manually jumping it with a screwdriver, tried looking to see if the mobo power supply cable was unplugged and cannot figure out what's going on.
