OK NEVERMIND i got it in ... dang i kinda moved it a lil .. hope it didn't take any serious compound off ... but i didn't realize the cpu was so close ...

just push it down and hold it ... and start clipping the sides

Hey guys!

I just got my cpu today and i am confused how to install the heatsink. It's the stock one.

Step 10 says to put the heatsink on and that the hs should be in full contact with the processor.
It's a tight fit and the metal clips are in the way sitting on top of the lugs. Do i just press it down and the metal clips snap in place all at once? cuz that's how it looks right now .. which makes the other steps kinda useless ...

can anyone help clarify things for me?

thanks

Step 10? I wouldn't think there would be more than three:

1. drop in the cpu
2. apply thermal paste
3. attach heatsink

:confused:
