Issue with i5 10400F processor
I used the pea method initially for applying the thermal paste. Later, I switched to a more consistent technique.
It might have been a little too tight on the cooler. Sometimes the Intel box coolers need extra effort. Try switching sides to spread the pressure evenly.
You’d likely receive a modest 20$ thermal right cooler, since the regular one isn’t very effective for an i5 processor.
I verified the fan, it wasn't turned on. Now I face another issue—once I power it up, the monitor shows nothing and the graphics card isn't working.
I can easily reach the CPU without taking out the GPU. At startup, all fans run alongside the CPU, not the GPU, and it doesn’t produce an image through DP or HDMI.
