| 864156 | 2010-03-05 02:04:00 | I removed the old one here to clean it, a while ago, but forgot which way its meant to go. Does the raised side go on the top or bottom / the part that sits on the CPU? Does it matter which way it goes? Edit: Forget this post, think I just found out, if you put the raised end up, the fan wont spin |

Also, dont rotate the tabs! The default position is the correct position for installation. -You'll hear it click in. Make sure the tab is completely pressed in, and inspect the bottom of the mobo to make sure its in all of the way. -Now, press down on the tab diagonal of the first tab. This might seem harder to do then the first tab. -Again, remember to provide support on the bottom of the mobo with your other hand. -Once the tab is completely pressed down, inspect the bottom of the motherboard to make sure it is completely in. -Repeat the same thing with the next two tabs remembering to support the bottom of the motherboard as you fully press down on the tabs. |

But ta, I'll remember that :) I was just trying to figure out which way the heatsink went (since I removed it to clean it). But now I know. There's only one way lol. The other way, will probably fry something, if it was on the mobo | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
