Hey guys I decided to apply kryonaut to my CPU and remount my h100i v2 water block after doing so the fans spin up and my Mobo lights turn on but it doesn't seem to want to Boot

Steps I've taken
Removed CMOS battery
Remounted and checked for excess paste where it shouldn't be
Took out soundcard and GPU

It was working fine before although my temps playing mass effect were in the 90s at stock speeds
The CPU itself was delidded

Thanks in advance for your reply
 
Full listing of all parts would be good but does it POST with minimum parts?
(CPU, memory+ mobo)

And of course check motherboard's power cables.
 
Check the H100 connection to the CPU. Have you plugged the H100 into the right slots in the MOBO for fan control etc? What specs is the rest of yoru system?
 
I had similar thing. Had already tried the CMOS battery before trying everyting else. Went back to the battery but left it out for 30mins this time round and everything worked!

As others said check all wires are securely in place Inc drives as it could be the circuit shorting
 
So it's bent pins I'd assume saying that tightening the cooler down after I'd put it in it assume that somehow bent the pins unless they were like that before as I've had some troubles before like not recognising my gfx card in the x16 but it works in x8

I replaced it as my temps were high I never took the CPU out but I'd definitely say it's bent pins I'd say the problems always been there since I've built the system originally
I know for a fact Asus won't let me rma the board as I've heard horror stories about them and bent pins
I've also heard of aftermarket coolers being too heavy for 7700k

It was delidded by ocuk as it was part of a bundle
Apart from trying to bend the pins back what can I do ?

I also didn't unplug the cooler from the board but they're all in there fan headers power to the fans

The reason for replacing the cooler it wasn't making contact and my pc kept rebooting due to under load my 7700k at stock was 50c and under load (mass effect) it would hit 100c and just turn off.

If he didn't take out the CPU he won't need to worry about that.

As dempsey said it could be you've tightened the cooler too tight? That is one possibility?

I've got bent pins which was definitely due to probably screwing the cooler back on.. which to me I'm worrying that there's nothing o can do about it
As I said it was booting around 30mins before I reapplied paste and the cooler
 
That happend to me too. Bent two pins from over tightening some how. Only finger tight and it bent pins. I wanted to rma but it was user error. I didnt know what to do other than buy a second hand motherboard. I tried to straighten the pins. Got one bang on back in place but the other one was not having it. It some how twised round and i spent too much time trying to straighten that it fell out.
I get worried everytime i need to tighten because i only ever do it finger tight.
 
Yeah it's not fixable in anyway the motherboard is faulty itself as the main PCI express slot never actually worked
And there's pins missing I wouldn't call it user error its only ever been finger tight and this most definitely isn't my first build although it's the first time I've had pins break but whilst searching I came across a lot of users saying that a lot of aftermarket coolers are too heavy and they end up breaking the CPU I'd not even say it was my fault honestly since hardly any pressure was applied
But thanks for all the help

I know it's bad news, but trust me with a magnify glass a tooth pick and steady hands you can fix it ( within reason ).

I had an FX-9370 shipped to me a while back and almost half the pins were bent. Thank christ none of them snapped but after the process of straightening them all out I was sweating like I was in a sauna.

This exact thing happened to me too. Spent about 20 minutes under the magnifying lamp at at one point and I had it 99% fixed, in fact I'm positive it would have worked fine....but no, I had to go on meddling, and be a perfectionist...ended up snapping the pin.
