Thermalright cause memory issue?

[TurboTrym]

Built a Brand new computer recently

Whenever i tried to activate XMP to 7200 mhz pc wont boot, clear cmos and Mobo goes back to default settings.

activated XMP again and still same issue. Goes stable at 5800.

 

Ram supports 7200MTS

Mobo 8000

intel 13900ks MINIMUM 6400 (if not mistaking)

 

Heard Thermalright can cause memory issues, and that i might have underthightened it.

tried to remount it and did a reverse clock til i head a click.

i rotated in X pattern with 1/8 of a full rotation to lower it nicely down to the cpu.

 

turned on the computer and now it wont even Get into bios, just black screen.

i Get all the Asus error codes that i got when enabling XMP from previous, but now i dont even have XMP enabled?? Also i Get an orange light over the asus error code, which suggest Dram issue; that orange light is new.

 

Is it the thermalright which is f**king me over here? Also tried with 2 new pairs of 7200 mhz ram sticks which i borrowed from a friend. Still same errors and black screen.

 

And if trying to test with less pressure on the thermalright / swapping back to intels ILM to see if it works.

can i use no thermal paste while troubleshooting? Because im close to empty.
