please help me! installing a 939 dual core and...

[Arkane13131]

the cpu fit right in no problems...then i had to kind of snap the heatsink in...which i did...but when i turn that lever that is suppose to tighten to the cpu...its...way way too hard... way to hard to turn it...

the heatsink is on that puppy and it feels tight its not loose...like i said i had to work pretty hard getting it on without turning the thingy O.O but it clicked right in...

did i do something wrong here? is it on backwords or something? that puppy is not coming off.....easily...maybe at all lol.. any comments ?

you are suppose to clamp the CPU down before you but the heatsink on.

 

[Arkane13131]

lol i know that...the cpu is clamped down

but the heatsink you have a little lever.....to clamp it down...

the heatsink wont clamp. but its on tight.... do u think its safe?

edit: the heatsink wont move at all...and both sides are locked into position but..that clamp wont turn no matter what i do.... it took extra effort clicking it into place...in the first place...

think its all good?

Is it the stock heatsink? If it is I believe there are only one way it can possibly go on. Maybe two if you turn it the other way. The heatsink is suppose to be tight on the CPU.

With my x2 the heatsink came in locked position. I assumed it was unfastened and it was a ah heck to get on and then when I went to tighten it instead it unlocked (boing!!!).
