I've been building computers since I was 6, and I'm almost 23 now. That said, there's one thing I still haven't mastered that irritates me.
Does anyone have any tips on clipping those damned processor fan clips to the processor mount? Every time I do it I hear that scraping sound when the processor meets the fan core and my heart stops, and it takes me 15 minutes just to get the fan clip to catch on the nubs on both sides of the mount. Once I've even managed to cut off a nub with the metal tab of the clip in the attempt, effectively ruining the mount itself.
I'm beginning to think that the person that invented the processor fan clipping mount system is the same person that invented the Wonderbra and/or one-way roads.
