I got a ryzen 9 and some $350 asus Mobo

I tried to evenly spread thermal paste on my cpu but I couldn't really get it to spread across all the pins, so I put the paste on the Mobo itself but then I couldn't really align the pins correctly and heard a loud crunch when I clipped it in place.

Anyway I finish my build and now nothing happens when I switch it on

The issue is first you broke the mobo by applying thermal paste to it and second you broke the cpu by bending the pins

This expert advice normally costs a $200 diagnostics fee. But for you, $400.

Idk why applying thermal paste is bad

Heat is bad

Thermal paste stops heat

You don't put it on the mobo though. You put it between the CPU and the cooler

Would you recommend paying $100 extra to add RGB to my RAM

Yes altho idk what ram you're getting cus I don't remember rgb being that expensive. I was almost gonna buy this evga 2070 super with rgb cooling fans but I slept on it and it got sold out. I had to settle for an evga black card :(

obvious joke topic, but i had a good chuckle lol.

anyway im pissed becaused corsair's software iCue fucking sucks. recent updates just fucked it up. my rbg light strips freeze if they have any pattern that has a lot of switching on and off, so i have to set it to a static color.

and NOW it doesn't launch when i start up my computer, meaning i have to launch it manually. ive checked the registry and everything is set correctly so i dunno what's wrong.

i should have gone with NZXT
