Lmao Common man why you gotta do me like that? haha I swear this is the first time I build my own PC. All this stuff? is new to me. But I hear you, I won't forget.

So I just found out today that I could remove the HDD Bay from my Case. I do have a DVD Drive so can't remove the top one. Next week I am going to fix the Cables on the Top left corner, that's the MoBo LED and the Power connector to the MoBo. Will hopefully be installing my new Cryorig M9i next week as well. Just wanted to share hehe. Its kinda crappy and Humble but it does its job well.
Thanks man! yea that is an Apache. I love helicopters even though I know nothing about them, it was a gift from the family.It looks good.
Even if it didn't, that's a nice Apache on top. I'm not hugely knowledgeable about aircraft or helicopters in particular, but I've always loved the design of the Apaches and the Comanche.
We were all there at one time.
I remember the first time I got a packet of thermal paste (with no instructions) , and I thought they sent the wrong thing because up to point all my CPU heatsinks came with thermal paste already installed on the bottom, and it was relatively dry. I was like "Do I put this stuff on and let it dry first because it is so runny compared to the other stuff.
Nah not a good idea lolDon't forget to put Thermal Adhesive on your RAM slots, want to keep them cool.
Edit: On second thought, don't do that, it might be baaaad.
Looks about right ("pea sized").Lastly. This amount of Thermal paste will be fine for the M9i Cyrorig right? or a little more than that?
Perfect. That's the second time I ever put thermal paste on a CPU hehe. Tracking says my Cyrorig M9i is in my City and in transit hoping to get it today.Looks about right ("pea sized").
Also I don't have One of the screws on my MoBo. I lost it when I was installing it and couldn't find it. Its this one here. You guys think Its going to affect it when I install the Cooler? (Picture below by CPU Connection)
I know, you right but will it affect or damage anything once I install the M9i Cooler? it says its 80 grams. What are your thoughts on that? I am concerned.A standoff and screw are important, and should be used to help stabilize your motherboard.
However the biggest concern is if that lost screw is lodged somewhere behind your motherboard, and could cause a short that could damage or kill your motherboard.

And no the screw/standoff didn't fall inside the case, I had lost it before that so I know it didn't fall inside or anything like that.
okay thanks you very much. Just wanted to Confirm.That cooler isn't heavy enough to be much of an issue. If you ever go with a larger one, like a Noctua, you'd want to get a screw in there.
Err, yeah. I was performing a CPU upgrade on a (now late) friend's S775 rig. Nice Abit IP35E mobo that I had picked up for him.However the biggest concern is if that lost screw is lodged somewhere behind your motherboard, and could cause a short that could damage or kill your motherboard.
Well I got the cooler. I burnt/broke my CPU after installing it. Is this why my Computer is doing this? Did I press it to tight? I removed RAM to install the cooler but re-did the RAM 2 same issue.
I'd double check the power connections first, make sure the CPU fan is plugged in correctly, and then take off the heatsink carefully if it's still doing it and then remove the CPU.
After that, take a look at the pins on the CPU socket on the motherboard. You should be able to tell if the pins are bent or damaged right away. If you have a PC speaker it might give you the error code by beeping (or by an LED on the motherboard, if it has it).
CONFIRMED! bent CPU Pin on the Motherboard. Now the question is do MoBo manufacturers tend to cover this under warranty? its a Gigabyte Motherboard.
Probably would be best if you uploaded pics of the socket and the bottom of the CPU so we can take a look.
Usually damaged pins or other damage stands out with a high-res photo.
Problem is my phone is crap old Galaxy s4 and the Zoom and Autofocus don't work very well.
Negative. I didn't remove the CPU when installing the cooler. I did remove the CPU to remove the MoBo. I was freaking out so I removed the MoBo after this and put it in the box to RMA. It was a panic attack.
So dumb. Now I either RMA the MoBo assuming something is wrong with it or I take it back out and install it again.
Could it be the CPU is damaged from pressure?
Please note. I thought the pins had to be straight but a friend told me they are set at an angle. So at first I thought they were all bent but honestly After he told me this I didn't notice any pins bent.
I personally wouldn't probably bother RMAing the motherboard if find bent pins, and you can't fix the pins yourself. From what I have seen over the years, once the Gigabyte tech sees bent pins, they will void your warranty and mail it back to you. You'd be out the money of mailing it back to them, but your call on if you want to give it a shot. I'd get a magnifying glass and carefully examine the bottom of the CPU and the socket (or take a high-res picture if you can borrow a camera, and look at it on your PC screen).
It's possible, but it's not a real big cooler, and you would really have cranked down on those screws. The locking bracket provides some additional support, but I have seen people damage a CPU by over-tightening a cooler before. Usually once you feel it stop, you don't keep tightening it down. Did you alternate
Yeah, they are not straight, and different sections go in different directions. They definitely aren't designed to take much abuse:
