Would it be obvious, aka the computer just wouldn't start and BIOS wouldn't POST, or would it start up act funny and then shut down?
No announcement yet.
How would I know if I blew out my chip?

Depending on what BIOS your mainboard uses will determine what codes will be sounded..

It depends on how you 'improperly' installed the HSF... you don't normally kill a mainboard if you install a HSF the wrong way..
