Put the new 1700 in, the heat sinks screws don't seem to reach the holes...
Any luck? (Cooking)

Just checked video on YouTube and it's the same process as a 1600. They are the same coolers right?

Do I need the brackets that came with my motherboard by any chance? In the video he unscrews them though like I did with the 1600

Haha everyone comes to Plec!
Right so I've accessed BIOS. Confirmed to me that it had been reset due to me clearing CMOS. I set optimised defaults. What is interesting now is my RAM are defaulting to 3200 2933!
It has booted up fine.

As I save and exited the bios it did a boot loop of 4 or 5 times and finally booted on the 6th..
