![]() ![]() i have no beep codes from the mobo speaker. I can hear the HDD spin up, but i dont have any light from the front panel disk activity LED. Front panel power LED is on, PSU fan is spinning, rear chassis fan is spinning, front chassis blue LED fan is lit and spinning, GPU fan is spinning. reconnected power cord, ethernet and HDMI to monitor.Īt this point notice i forgot to reconnect the 6pin PCIe power to the gpu, so i powered the system off (held power switch down), connected PCIe power, and powered back on. reconnected PWR_FAN1, CPU power tails from PSU, insert GPU clipped fan to heatsink, and attached to CPU_FAN1 fit new retention bracket onto the heatpipe block, peeled the sticker off the heatsink surface, applied a tiny bead of AS5 to CPU, mounted heatsink, again tightening in cross pattern. following 212's instruction diagrams, fit screws with plastic washers, installed backplate with appropriate side to back of motherboard, secured with nuts and tightened in cross pattern. removed the orange retention bracket and backplate from motherboard cleaned the CPU IHS with ArctiClean to remove original thermal paste ![]() unclipped the stock heatsink from the retention bracket, gave it a small twist, and pulled it off. side panels off, disconnected CPU fan header (CPU_FAN1), rear chassis fan (PWR_FAN1), removed GPU, and disconnected the 2x4pin CPU power (ATX12V1). this PC normally runs semi-headless and i connect via teamviewer. disconnected monitor from GPU, Ethernet, and power cable from PSU (i did not flip the switch on the back of the PSU to off). I read over the 212's included instructions (not much, just a few B&W graphics), checked CM's website for a more detailed manual (there wasn't), and then dove in. I decided to upgrade an older pc (not my main game rig) with a brand new Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, mostly for kicks and giggles, and learning experience. GPU: XFX Radeon 5750 2GB (shown) Zotac Geforce 8400GS 256MB (as an alternate) Storage: Team Group Ultra 120GB SSD (boot/system), WD Caviar Blue 256GB SATA (storage) RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (installed in slots A2/B2, the white pair) PSU: Cooler Master Elite 460 RS-460-PSAR-J3 460 WĬPU: AMD Athlon II x3 440 w/ stock cooler system was working without issue just yesterday. TL DR i installed a new heatsink & fan into an older PC, and i think i killed it. Apologies if this isnt the most correct place for this thread. ![]()
