John,

Now you know why I suggested taking it there for them to mount it for you. Although it looks easy, if you get it wrong, by that I mean not get pin 1 to seat in pin 1 slot, you can bend something. If you got a chance to see the pin placement, you should have noticed there is a notch alignment for the processor. It was the actual attaching of the fan that is the most difficult to get done without causing a headache, which was my main concern. Point being, these are delicate things and doesn't take much to crack them if not done correctly. I usually use a small socket type screwdriver to sit over the attachment to help lever it into place properly.

Still you have seen it now, and glad you took my advice about it. Would have hated you spending the time to get it all setup and discover it didn't work properly or at all.

Hope it is up and running soon so you can report how it all went.

PS, did you see the posting I made in the moderators forum by any chance ?
