Yes, it did not work.

right did you put thermal paste on the cpu before attaching the fan?

Just now, Callum Stringer said:

And about the overheat. When you start the computer you will be in the bios. There you can see the Temp of the cpu if it goes over 40 deg Celsius then turn it of and tell me

Okay, will do. We would need to somehow figure out how to make the computer display show though.

Of course, I put a generous amount of it too.

I don't have any wires for display port, I only have HDMI. I'll try connecting it to the motherboard right now.

No, connecting it to the motherboard also does nothing.

No, I have not, but my monitor works fine, I have Amazon fire TV on it, which uses a HDMI connection, and it works just fine.

Alright, sorry for taking so long I was checking everything. The only thing on the list that is I didn't do was put the right screws in the motherboard, HOWEVER, if this was a problem the motherboard would not be lit up and powering everything else. Overall, my system checks out. I even took out the cooler and put it back completely, which did me some good because now I can HEAR the liquid cooler and I see lights flashing from it, which I didn't see at all before hand (which explains why it was hot.) No display as of yet though.

well its good that the cooler works, i would recommend trying a different port (not hdmi) if that doesnt work you may have some broken equipment

could be something to do with the output from your computer

Remove the graphics card and see if you get any video output from the motherboard.
