Once you have it in place correctly, dont be shy about applying a lot of brute force to clip the bugger on. I spent almost half an hour trying to work the bloody clip on without applying too much pressure, but you actually use a hell of a lot of force to get both ends of the clip onto the mobo.	Guest (0)
