abnormal CPU temp... and system won't start..after installing NH-U12P-SE2

i recently bought my Noctua NH-U12P-Se2,... and followed the instructions precisely and installed it onto my Core i5 2500k...

after successfully installing it... i turned on my system... it says abnormal CPU Temp..it shows over 87 deg !!!!!!!!!!!

now why is this so....???

also... after installing the Cooler .. it was a bit tilted...towards the ram slots... slightly tilted... is this the reason or any other might be,,,??? pls help me in this regard...

i restored my Stock cooler and my CPU temp's are fine ....

if its is tilted, most likely there is a gap between the cooler's bottom & the processor, even if it was seated firmly. sometimes the build defect may leave the cooler with a slightly long pushpin/screw or bad backplate causing it not to touch the processor well.

check if the bottom of the cooler, the part that is in contact with the processor is even. a slightly uneven polish too can give these kind of result.

It is not installed correctly. You used the back-plate..?

OC'ing will depend on your experience level. But Turbo V is an easy tool for OC'ing.
