>okay
>must be something else
>check everything else until I come to the realisation it must be the cpu that is having problems
>I take the cpu out and see thermal paste in the holes the pins go into and on the pins themselves

How did you get thermal paste in the fucking socket?

When I took the cpu out it just went everywhere and the stringy bits just fell on to it. The whole operation was a clusterfuck and it just didnt go right from the start. The fucking h100i was glued on to the chip, it would not loosen so I was forces to yank it off.

So theres some white shit now stuck around the base of the pins but the thing still works so I am happy. just thought I needed to share this epic adventure with you lot.
