| 481612 | 2006-08-31 06:12:00 | Hey guys, Just bought a new 4200+ (yay) and need some help installing the fan (AM2). For those that have done it before, I'm having trouble moving the little arm thingy into the position it says on the diagram/manual. Why is this happening, I don't want to apply tooooo much force incase Bad Things happen. Any ideas? Cheers |

| 481615 | 2006-08-31 07:11:00 | Yes, so did I when I built my machine, but a friend said they are designed like that... so trusing him I forced... and it went on :D | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
