Brant said:res0r9lm, Thats exactly what i said. Or thats what i thought i was saying.
I just disagree with the tightening of the screw until it "touches the clip"Just back out the screw until it is loose(not touching the clip), then tighten the screw back down until it just touches the clip so that the screw doesn't move. Then you should be fine
I would have done had everything together by now or would be up all night trying. when I got the stuff to build the computer I'm on right now I took the old one apart and put it in another case so I could use this case couldn't a took more than 2 or 3 hours but I was familar with the old one took it a little slow with the new one. I know you aren't going to get much sleep tonight.Garfield said:Hmmm...I'll make sure I don't scratch the mobo with the hs&f.
>> that was what I was worried about when I put mine on not chipping or cruching core that would be impossable with this hsf. <<
You're saying that you can't crunch the die and ruin the CPU with this heatsink? I don't see how.
I just got in the last package and now I have everything. I'm going to build it Sunday (I'll have the whole day). I'm nervous. I really don't want to ruin anything.
definetly need to take your time mine went so fast because I had my older compter apart dozens of time and the other motherboard I bought I was familar with. I was just saying that you will be anxious and won't get much sleep.Garfield said:I would really like to build the computer tonight, but there are a couple of things stopping me...
First of all, I still have a couple of pre-build questions that are being answered on this board...
Secondly, due to the fact that this is my first build, I want to be as awake as possible when I do it. I'm a little tired (didn't get a lot of sleep last night)...
Also, I think I should read the motherboard's manual before I start. Do you agree?
