Alright. Is this good?

>>55371346
If you lifted it up and didn't reapply new paste, you fucked up.

>>55371356
Oooh. I see. So I just have to reapply it, and close ot, and dont open it up again? I see...

>>55371346

>he fell for the dot method meme

I did it again, temps still went til high... Fuck it. I'll just wait until I get my New case then reinstall it.

>>55371573
Did you clean the CPU and cooler properly using a non-conductive cleaning agent like isopropyl alcohol?

>>55371346
You should have added a bit more

>>55371389
you should remove the old before that too.

>>55371126
install gnu/hurd

OP back again, I reapplied and this time it didnt start a housefire like right away. It still was pretty bad idling at 80C. I guess I'll just wait for my new case and the corsair h115i... I do want to know what I probably did wrong though.

>>55372922
Maybe you put the fan back on the wrong way around.

>>55371429
I'm personally a fan of the line method, but even then I hate having to remove my cooler to check how shit is so I just never take it off afterwards.

D14's are too fucking huge, I might go closed loop next time.

>>55373491
I'm still running a D14 but I'm still on sandy bridge, now I'm on the edge of getting a broadwell-e chip but I'd have to get a new bracket.

>>55373576
Unlike other companies, you could probably just email noctua a copy of your receipt and ask for a new mounting bracket for x socket, and they'd probably send you one free of charge.

>>55373652
I don't have the receipt anymore though.

>>55373799
Even then, you could probably email them and buy one off them directly, or "one of their resellers".

>>55373831
I'll probably end up doing that, I'm really on the edge about getting a new mobo cpu and memory or just waiting for next gen. Got some fatty tax returns so have a good bit of spending money
