If this happened what would you do?

mounting a new cpu the other day and seems one leg of the acf7pro wasn't truly locked down & I didn't catch it until I seen boot temps at 80c which was a min or 2 after I booted the 3110...

Should I have just popped the top and attached the last clip securely as I did or should I have started from scratch, cleaning all surfaces and remounting with as5...

my thinking is that while the cpu was at 80c it may have dried up the as5 that was on there and then when I fully mounted its never made a solid bond between the chip & hs,,,, what would you do?

If it wasn't such a pain in the === id just do it right now

Start over from scratch for sure.

No doubt, take the time for a complete cleaning and remount.
