Need help installing this AC 64 Freezer Pro

[PascalT]

Just got the HSF in the mail, but i do not understand how it's possible to install it with my mobo (DFI NF4 Ultra-D).

The way the fan is suppose to face (air blowing at the back), the clips do not align at all with the retention clips on my board (it's vertical and not horizontal, so the clips on the HSF would have to be rotated to another side which is impossible).. so how do i latch it on there? Is there another retention module i need to get? Cuz i can't flip around the one there now..

it would work (depending on the space available) like this? http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/a...php?attachmentid=77&stc=1&d=1137126968

Cuz in the instructions they say it should blow to the back, not up.

any help?

There is a screw on the clip. If you open that screw, you can dismantle the clip assembly and put it back together after rotating it 90 degrees.

See the last paragraph.

piece of cake! the black lever tha tyou flip to lock the hsf down has a screw in it. remove the screw and remember how the assembly goes together. it's very easy. after removing the screw, the lever and clip fall away from the bracket. pull teh silver bracket thru the heatpipes, rotate it, and inster the bracket back thru the heatpipes so it is blowing in the direction you desire. re-assemble the clip assembly and you're done. the complete process amy take you two minutes. have a great day!


and now i see somebody posted before i did

i don't understand how i can use the bracket the other way.. it's much longer than the width of the HSF the other way. how do i latch the bracket on the HSF the other way?

Do these instructions help?

no, but thanks, checked already.. I saw this: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53030

but i don't understand, i can't even remove the "u shaped" clip. i'd have to bend it to slide it out.

I think i'll just point the fan upwards :/ it'll cool well anyway. but i liked the idea of having the hot air blow out. I think i might have gotten one of the older HSF that can only turn 180 degrees and not 90.
