Neither one said shit about the back plate and it's been five years
What manual were you reading
Motherboard and CPU. Thing still isn't working after half a tube of thermal paste so I'm pretty sure the mobo's just defective. Taking it back to microcenter tomorrow

Knowing your autistic enthusiasm for anything electronic and your delusions of mental superiority, I bet you shocked the CPU and or MOBO. I doubt they will take it back because retards often don't' wear or use the proper equipment when assembling their "ProGamer Rig." Good luck.
Pretty sure you killed the board. Good luck getting your money back
Id only wear a grounding bracelet if i was assembling pcs as a job
Also you only need a very minimal amount of thermal paste im not sure why you think pouring more on is going to help you

K. It's only twenty dollars. Why risk a 400 dollar mobo or a 800 cpu?
Because im not building computers all the time and honestly as long as you dont wear socks and you build on top of your mboard box you shouldnt have these issues
Tbh tho he honestly has no idea what hes doing and didnt even say how exactly the board is defective
He probably didnt plug in the cpu power or some dumb shit like that
@dropdatwat what exactly is it doing

The static bracelet is not to only prevent static from shocking the hardware, it prevents the hardware's natural static charge discharging in a rapid manner. Dunno. If you don't want to wear one more power to ya.
If he gooped the compound on the pins he could have shorted the fucking chip. I mean it's Ben here. It's often pretty accurate to assume the worst.
if I try to start up windows or Linux (separate drives) it instantly shuts off and won't turn on again until I turn the PSU off and on
Doesnt really sound like a faulty motherboard
Lol thermal paste is non conductive, for that exact reason
Post specs and picture of bios screen
well what the fuck is it

Depends if Ben bought decent stuff.

Post the screenshot
He still could have gotten it into one of the pin holes and insulated it from the mobo.
