What are the symptoms of "not working"?
If the PC's power button blinks, count the blinks by color and look up the error code here.
Did you clean old thermal paste off the bottom of the heat sink and apply fresh thermal paste before reattaching it?
Did you double-check all connections to the motherboard, including both CPU power connections and CPU fan connection?

Not all 8940 Motherboards are capable of 11th Gen CPU's. The original one shipped with the 10th Gen in it. Later ones shipped with 11th Gen and had the BaseBoard Product 0427JK or later.
