I'm an idiot!

I took off the metal back plate when I installed a freezer 7 on my motherboard as it wasn't pictured, but apparently you're meant to leave it on.

Same goes with my Noctua, the backplate was already off and I didn't re-install it, feel like a complete noob.

I'll fix it when I get home.

Well at least we know you live upto your name.

I made this thread more as a mental note to remember to fix it, otherwise I'll forget

warranty

void

Why would the warranty be void? Theres no notice saying not to remove the back plate? Anyway, I bought it through another website who don't know anything about it The warranty is void from bent pins anyway.

I should have realised something was up when this happened

It might have something to do with the fact that CPU's aren't secured in there sockets anymore (with the levers locking them in) so when I took the HSF off the processor was stuck to the bottom of it. Unless you pull the HSF off straight they are very easy to bend.

What a spack....

Oh, stock retention plate is back on and NH-D14 is installed again
