I find it hard to believe that the only thing I found wrong with the product (that being the one standoffs) could be the thing keeping my pc from working with the Hyper 212 EVO. I then re-installed the stock Intel heatsink and everything booted normally into Windows. So I did some trouble shooting I tried it without the graphics card, tried with only certain memory sticks, tried different video cables, tried a different monitor, tried hooking the four-pin PWM cable from the included fan to different connectors.all to no avail. I turned on my PC happened, it seemed to turn on normally, but there was no splash screen, no beeps at all came from the motherboard speaker. I made sure the right amount of thermal paste was applied, and also made sure the heatsink was not loose when the installation was complete. (NOTE: I did read the included instructions as well as had a YouTube video present just in case). After that the rest of the installation was easy. I unboxed the heatsink/accessories and came to find this (look at picture in attached file), one of the four standoffs is "wrong." (The incorrect standoff is the the one to the right, all other three standoffs are just like the one to the left in the picture)The stem appears not to have been cut all the way down, along with the threading, and it won't fit all of the way through the motherboard to the back-plate like the other three standoffs do, however it did JUST enough so I could secure the nut on the other side.

And remember the CPU power cable at top).So recently I've bought the Cooler Master 212 EVO via Amazon.

Make sure you don't have any exposed metal parts touching each other. The back side of backplate should be covered in soft material which prevents backplate shorting anything. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is a very easy cooler to install but be warned, it is likely too large to fit in a 4U server.
The Hyper 212 comes with an extra pair of those brackets, you screw your new fan onto those Read the manual for installing another fan on the cooler 3. Servers and workstations often come with a chassis that includes all necessary fans but on 3U and larger enclosures, typically active coolers are utilized. Just to be clear, the system does not turn on at all, I press the power button, all the fans spin for a few seconds and it fails to power on. Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler 212X is based. I'm also troubleshooting this on MSI's forums to see exactly which red light flashes when I press the power button.
Initially I used a MSI Z270I GAMING PRO CARBON AC that is not compatible with Coffee Lake CPUs, I switched to a MSI Z370I GAMING PRO CARBON AC that is compatible, but encounter the same issue. On the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo the screws extend far enough for the backplate to be held in place by the bolts, it does not affect how tight the cooler is mounted on the CPU side.
