Okay, to put it simply I'm pretty tired of buying the wrong thing.

I want to overclock my new computer setup but want to place my after market cooler in my computer before I go crazy with OC'ing but it doesn't fit.

I have a GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD3R LGA 1366 motherboard and an i& 920 CPU and bought the XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler to replace the CPU fan that came with my CPU.

The first mount I purchased was the LGA 775 bolt thru kit which was stupid of me because it only came with a mount (nothing to replace the pokers that came with my cooler) and it wasn't even the right size.

Then I purchased the Xigmatic Crossbow ACK-I7363 which came with the mount I wanted but the clips weren't designed to fit with the CPU fan I have.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or what is the RIGHT mount/clips I have to buy, I'd really like to get this puppy in my computer.

Sorry if this is a noob question, this is the first computer I've ever build :)
 
Okay cool, finally I will have the right mount.

Guess I will ebay the other two mounts or something :\
