Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I would recommend just starting out with the stock cooler.That way if you do have problems,you will at least know it wasn't the cooler.If you choose to go ahead and try it,you could eliminate the chance of shorting the board by using the supplied spare fan cushions between the board and feet.

following up after a lot of Google searching,seems like this has been a common problem with this particular motherboard.So maybe it was not do to the Coolmaster.Still trying any last ditch efforts to have to avoid doing an RMA but looking like my efforts and not panning out.
Just got my items in Asus P8Z68-V LE,Intel i5 2500,16gig G-Skill Sniper DDR3 1600 and Cooler Master 212 Plus.
Well I follwed directions on installing this massive cooler.After all was together,it wouldn't post,it would boot once,auto turn off then come back on.Memory light staying lit.Held...
