I was wondering if anyone can help. I am building a PC and I have everything other then the graphics card or the hard drive. Installing the heatsink was a huge pain and I'm a little worried I put too much pressure on the CPU when installing. Also I think I put on too much thermal paste, I put on the correct amount initially however we had to take it off for a while and my friend (who I'm starting to think may not have known what he was talking about) said I should put on a little more so it gets a good seal on it (which I don't think is the point of thermal paste but whatever). Anyway I was wondering if there was a way to test everything is working and undamaged without building the whole thing (which would mean waiting a month). Also is it a good idea to take off the heatsink and check the thermal paste situation. Thanks for any help! Oh and juts FYI my motherboard has no on board graphics if that makes a difference.
