The large glossy instruction sheet with the Gigabyte boards illustrate the process quite well, there is a 'step' along one side of the heatsink, which sits over the edge of the socket that is thicker and contains the lever bar mechanism. Yah well I had it right first time ;) I managed to fix up all the LED connectors for the motherboard too. So now you can actually turn the thing on with the power button (instead of PSU), and it shows the hdd light flashing and the system light going etc. My stupid case didn't have positive and negative signs on the little wires, but the motherboard needed positive and negative round the right way. It didn't help with the case using random colours for the wires either. So much for the colour coded motherboard pins. :| Basically there was no way t get it right except for trial and error. The wires look like they are in back-to-front at the moment, but it works :) |

Go to the MBM5 website, http://mbm.livewiredev.com/ and click on the Motherboard list link, choose your MOBO and see which sensor reads the CPU temp then check that MBM5 is reading from that sensor |
