I turned on my PC happened, it seemed to turn on normally, but there was no splash screen, no beeps at all came from the motherboard speaker.
I made sure the right amount of thermal paste was applied, and also made sure the heatsink was not loose when the installation was complete. (NOTE: I did read the included instructions as well as had a YouTube video present just in case). After that the rest of the installation was easy. I unboxed the heatsink/accessories and came to find this (look at picture in attached file), one of the four standoffs is 'wrong.' (The incorrect standoff is the the one to the right, all other three standoffs are just like the one to the left in the picture)The stem appears not to have been cut all the way down, along with the threading, and it won't fit all of the way through the motherboard to the back-plate like the other three standoffs do, however it did JUST enough so I could secure the nut on the other side.
I got the package earlier today and went ahead to install the new heatsink/fan. So recently I've bought the Cooler Master 212 EVO via Amazon.
