i don't remove it from the board though, why would i?
What case is that?My mini,
I'm dreading the day I have to go in there and change some shyt. Was going to purchase a M.2 SSD for it but the slot is on the backside of the mobo,
the stock heatsinks usually come with thermal paste already applied. I wouldn't worry about getting better thermal paste if you're using the stock heatsink. but if you're using a third party heatsink you might as well get some quality thermal paste

I went for the Gigabyte 970 will see how that goes but with my beast of a monitor (The ASUS ROG 1440P) it’s very good.
PC booted up fine after installing Windows. Ran some benchmarking tests. I then started to update a few programs and then the PC powers off and does not power up at all.
I remove the case and the motherboard powers on, light shows and its breathing. I have this MB - Mod 1150 ASUS Z97 Maximus VII Hero ATX Motherboard
Removed the MB, PSU and fans and tested it on my desk. As I thought the cooler bracket could be shorting it or maybe the MB standoffs. Again the MB powered on and light showed however fans not moving and not light on the CPU cooler case.
I then done the following:
Flashed the BIOS on the MB with USB
Changed PSU to a known working one
Removed CPU to test if onboard fan powers on
Tested memory slots 1 by 1 (haven’t tried new memory stick yet)
So it would suggest that the MB is dead even though I just took it out package the same day. Also cannot undertsnad why the lights would power up on MB and even breathes.
In all my years building PCS I jave never come across the CPU failing, they are pretty solid. I haven’t overclocked it or anything I have Devils Canyon i7
Any ideas fellow master racers.
Usually I like the "game" of finding the issue, but man I just wanna play on my mointor.

My Asus does that. I have to turn off the power supply and turn it back on again or else the mobo won't power on properly. So basically I give it power and the lights turn on but it won't power on if I remove power and replug it up it powers on properly.I went for the Gigabyte 970 will see how that goes but with my beast of a monitor (The ASUS ROG 1440P) it’s very good.

Does this happen all the time, surely thats a flaw ?
Yeah if it gets unplugged that happens every time. My BIOS battery is probably dead. I got this board off eBay and if it gets unplugged the BIOS settings also reset.
