Removed my CPU Cooler and PC wont start

[low folio]

i removed my cpu cooler and the cpu came with it when removing it but the CPU looks fine so is my motherboard dead after that?

[viscid needle]

I mean there is no world in which that should happen

photos?

[low folio]

of what do you need

[viscid needle]

the motherboard, CPU, and cooler

[low folio]

let me just add i removed the cpu off the cooler

[viscid needle]

kk

[low folio]

and put the cpu itself back in to see if it would turn on

[viscid needle]

remove the CPU from the mobo for the time being

9 times outta 10 you're fucked

[low folio]

the little slot was down when the cpu came off

so i'm guessing the motherboard cpu slot is fucked

[viscid needle]

where is the latching mechanism lmao

what motherboard?

[low folio]

gigabyte b550m ds3h

[viscid needle]

oh you're fucked lmao

[low folio]

where the flash went

[viscid needle]

the latching mechanism is gone

[low folio]

is there a good upgrade

[viscid needle]

I'm not the right person to ask

[low folio]

i can get that's not too more expensive than the current motherboard

oh

[viscid needle]

have you tried completely reinstalling the cooler with the CPU installed in the right orientation and turning it on?

you might not need the latching mechanism

[low folio]

no

[viscid needle]

but I wouldn't risk it

until someone more experienced shows up

[low folio]

i took it off for a reason lmao

i got it to start

wtf

oh it's fucked

my pc is going crazy

[ionic marten]

No it’s there

[low folio]

it's gone tho

broken

100%

[viscid needle]

well it's at the least fucked if the CPU came out on its own

[low folio]

its loaded windows

but do i risk it

[low folio]

do you know a good cou upgrade

cpu

cause the cpu was tripping out

[ionic marten]

Why

As long as there’s no bent pins, the cpu is fine

[low folio]

i need a new one anhway

[ionic marten]

Again, why

[low folio]

my cpu isn't the best

[ionic marten]

What cpu is it

[low folio]

ryzen 5 5600

[ionic marten]

It’s fine

[low folio]

not for what i need it

it overloads

[ionic marten]

What are your specs

And what resolution do you play at

[low folio]

oh what the

my pc just stopped working

idk if it's my cpu or motherboard

[ionic marten]

^

[low folio]

1440p 16gb ram and a radeon rx 6700 XT

[ionic marten]

That’s gotta be gpu limited

[low folio]

you think?

[ionic marten]

Yes

[low folio]

everytime i check it's my cpu and ram

[ionic marten]

Your cpu goes to 100%?

[low folio]

yes

and ram

[ionic marten]

Oh

Ok

You can get the 5800x3D and some more ram, either another identical 2x8 kit or a 2x16 kit

[low folio]

is there a cheaper version of the cpu?

tryna not blow my budget here

[ionic marten]

No, unless you can go to a micro center and get a 5600x3D

Update your bios too

[low folio]

this?

[ionic marten]

That’s the 5800x3D

[low folio]

yeah it's 50% off so i'll probs get it

[ionic marten]

Sounds good

[low folio]

will the AMD Cooler cool it?

[low folio]

or should i invest into an AIO

[ionic marten]

Nah, don’t get an auto

AIO

A single tower cooler will be fine

Thermalright assassin king or peerless assassin

The stock cooler will not be sufficient

[low folio]

they're too big for my case

[vagrant cargo]

How lol

[ionic marten]

What case do you have

[vagrant cargo]

What case is it

[low folio]

my case is small ngl

thermaltake h10 versus

something like that

my current cpu cooler touches the glass

[vagrant cargo]

Which is?

[low folio]

ID-COOLING SE-214-XT 68.2 CFM CPU Cooler

[vagrant cargo]

K

150mm tall

This should fit https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-TL-D12PRO-Aluminium-Heatsink-Technology/dp/B0B1PPXSXD/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?

[low folio]

Ty

could i ask

why is the AIO bad to use?

[vagrant cargo]

Expensive

[low folio]

oh

but if i got a secondhand one?

is it worth or no

[ionic marten]

No, def not second hand
