I built my rig with the TIM provided with my waterblock. I bought a better material when I was at microcenter the other day and pulled the block, reapplied, and reinstalled. Pretty routine. Now it wont boot 
No post codes on the board led's or beeps from a speaker. So did I short a pin on the board or something or did I damage my CPU somehow in the process? I checked my psu connections, and everything else powers on...I have terrible luck with this sort of thing. I should have left it alone.
I don't see any damage and I don't think I did anything out of the ordinary, but does no led's mean I should look more closely at the board or cpu, or ?
EDIT:
2 bent pins in the bottom corner of socket. Now to order a magnifying glass to make sure I can properly straighten them out.
