Install Gladiator on Asus Help!

[moosedick]

I have an Asus CUSL2-C and an OCZ Gladiator HSF (36cfm). I can't seem to get the heatsink on right. I got it on once but I don't think it was mounted right because the temps were 10C above my Alpha PAL6035. How do I install this? Do you think the capacitors near my socket make the space available too small for the clip?

I had a CUSL2-C for a couple of days recently. 'Fraid I didn't have a Gladiator for it. A FOP fit just fine, but that's probably no help. If the caps get in the way, you can bend them a LITTLE bit. If it's still a no-go, the Gladiator will just have to wait for a mainboard it will fit on. Sorry about that.

I have a GLADIATOR/DELTA running good on a CUSL2. Are u putting it on with the fan on? don't ok it only makes harder. What i did was to put the clip on the back by the capacitors first nice & easy ok. Then i put the one on the front with a little force and your done. Take any memory dimms off too before u do this. Also what i did i got DS foam tape that can squeezed down when the HS is put on. I cut triangles pcs for each corner to help u with stability when putting HS on. I only peeled off one side of DS tape.

which part of the clip did you attach first?

I just installed one, on an a7a266..very snug fit..
I actually had to put the clips on backwards from what they recommend (clip by the cords on first)

hope this helps
