hi, my buddy just bought Sapphire Ati 9600 256mb card from newegg.while he was at it he bought an Arctic Cooler 2 for the 9600.the problem is when we tried to put it on his card some capacitors get in the way so the heatsink doesnt even touch die.WTF?!
 
Is there any way you can bend the cap slightly out the way, or cut a small part off the cooler?

Seems kinda weird that it doesnt fit - might want to let them know that it isnt compatible with your card.
 
Just get something to cut a small piece on the cooler off so the thing will fit, if the cap is on the edge that is, if it is like closer to the middle on the sink just get something to sand the heatsink i nthe spot until it fits.
