HI! My name is OC-Elmo, and I want to show all of you how to properly install a HSF!


First, put the HSF on top of the CPU and look at the clip:

Then, make sure the clip is secured to the plasic lug on one side (the side opposite where you put the screwdriver).

Next, on the other side of the HSF, carefully press down with the screwdriver on the clip, pushing the clip over the plastic lug. Be careful and use steady pressure. Do not let the screwdriver slip.

Check to make sure it is tight, and you have done it, Success!!!

ROFL, Elmo seems to know alot more about mainboards than mage_x or WhiteHawk.





It's an Epox board and not and not even an nForce at that:p

Actually, it is an ECS K7S5A...the box behind Elmo was just a box that he had around to store that mobo.
