| 744453 | 2009-02-03 05:07:00 | Hi im looking for some suggestions on a aftermarket CPU cooler. Ive tryed to install the stock intel fan but with the push pins it is impossible to correctly install and mount the heatsink. Any tips? So I would like some recommendations on some cpu coolers that are easy/possible to install and give low temperatures. Thanks. |

| 744455 | 2009-02-03 05:17:00 | CPU is a E8500 | blueblue (14579) | ||
| 744456 | 2009-02-03 05:22:00 | Watch this (nz.youtube.com) Dont try and do it while its in the case tho It'll probably make things harder The mobo manual usually shows / tells you how to install one |

| 744458 | 2009-02-03 05:37:00 | seen the video before. But the problem I have is getting the black centers of the pins underneath the mobo to be allign with the white outer rims of the pins. I cannot get all the pins to look like the first pin installation. Furtherest i got was 3 pins and the 4th just wouldnt go through no matter the ammount of force I applied. | blueblue (14579) | ||

| 744460 | 2009-02-03 06:11:00 | the way i found to do it is to put the cpu and cooler on the mobo before you put it in the case if it is a new build that way you can give more pressure to the clips. Is it the standard round one? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 744461 | 2009-02-03 06:14:00 | Which is what I said, install it before you put it in the case If youre trying to install it with the mobo, in the case |

| 744462 | 2009-02-03 06:43:00 | Na ive taken the mobo out of the case and trying to get the pins down but the black centers just wont go through. It doesnt matter how much pressure I apply they wont click down. For example, one time I managed to 3 pins down. (looking from underneath the mobo the pins all looked the same. The black center was pushed right through in aline with the white outer part.) The last pin, the black center of the pin would only go half way. I got a flat screwdriver and applied force by putting the head in the groove/gap on top of the pin and pressing pretty much as hard as I could with two hands, but it wouldnt lock down. How is this not possible? I would never install the cooler in the case cause then I wouldnt be able to see underneath the mobo if the pins where pushed down to the right level. |
