I finished building my computer last night, but I want to verify I installed the big typhoon right. Everyone is saying how difficult it is to install, but I found it rather easy.
Here's how it went
Removed mobo screws (2) and front plastic yellow thing
Flipped over mobo and put in a type A screw (from BT) through each hole (2).
Put H clip over heatsink, applied thermal compound, and set down the f+hs.
Flipped mobo back up
Slipped a washer over each protruding type A screw, screwed the goldish metal cylinder type spacers on each type A screw. Aligned the H clip+BT with A screws, screwed on nuts for each A screw
I'm currently in the process of OCing my opty, but I have a fear for the massive heat sink falling off and crushing my parts
