I have the motherboard!

But! I do not have THERMAL PASTE

So I can't make the switch, since I can't actually swap the CPU over without replacing the paste. 

Thermal paste should be here thursday. Hopefully I'll be up and running again thursday.

PLEASE! THURSDAY!

I had thought that the CPU I bought came with a tube of it, but I think it just came with pre-applied and I was remembering wrong

Yeah, I ordered a two-pack of arctic silver5. Was like $23 after shipping but hey I gotta do what I gotta do

usually comes with the cooler not the CPU. Fingers cross nothing else goes wrong.

Well, the CPU came with a cooler so I guess!

Nobody wants this to be over as much as I do. You ever been stuck without a computer for nearly three weeks? It's hell m8
