I think that I'm going to chicken out

I tried putting on my Thermoengine last night, and I almost fvcked up my Core and my IWill. The thermo engine is a beast when it comes to putting it on. I feel like a wimp, but this will have been my first heatsink and I dont wanna screw anything up . Just thought I'd let you guys know. Thanks for all your help, I'm gonna run it buy a local computer store today or tommorow and have them put it on. My hands are just way too shaky to put that beast on.

i actually chipped my die on my processor messing with the hsf but it still worked fine luckily. that was the first time i had to take it off cuz i didnt know i needed to put on thermal compound. but from then on i know what im doing and theres no more problems. sometimes you gotta learn the hard way

Tweakmm dont kill that cpu she is screamer. Sorry your running into problems with the thermoengine.

If its an IWill you have plenty of room to work with. Read the instructions & practice putting it in. Fear is your worst enemy.

It isn't like i have never mounted a HSF before, but i still bought the MC370 for it's superior clip design. Of all the HSF i have mounted(a lot, I have a computer business...), the MC370 was the easiest, if you ever have the opportunity to get a MC370 for cheap, get it. Besides having stuning performance, its clip is pure bliss.

One more thing. On my kk266r, i lined the area around my ZIF socket with electrical tape, so in the case that i slip, the traces would be fine. Good Luck man!
