DP55WB thermal trip

[mornington]

Hello all,

I am trying to get my i5-750 (first generation) together with a Intel-DP55WB board to get working. I used to use a Cooler Master 212+ cooler but it became really hard to work with, so I changed over to a stock-type CM cooler:

I didn't know how to install this - so I used the backplate left over from the CM 212+ to bolt this on. However, somewhere in the process, two of the mounting screws on the backplate got misplaced.

Anyway, I mounted it, and the contact seemed solid, so I started it up, but now it gives me the CPU thermal trip beep codes:

I am at a loss. I could try to replace the two missing bolting screw from the backplate to see if this will give me a better contact, but the fit really does seem quite snug.

I haven't yet tried to CMOS clear, I am not sure if this will help.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The 212 is easy to install if you follow the directions. It will fit on any socket type as they're universal.

You are receiving thermal beep codes because your CPU is overheating.

Call up CM, maybe they'll send you the missing pieces and start again. If you're worried check youtube for videos for installation guides.

I wouldn't use that box until you get this sorted.

Thanks for the reply.

I found the backplate for the stock CM I bought, and installed the cooler properly like I should have in the first place. But I guess the BIOS was stuck in thinking that the fan was improperly installed, so it kept beeping.

Took the on-board battery out and re-installed it (guess I should have cleared CMOS, but don't know how on this board). Problem solved. Thanks again.
