Do yourself a favor, take the CORB and use it for target practice !! Mount it on your wall as a piece of junk ART. Do anything but use it as a heatsink for TBIRD/DURON. There IS a reason why not a single Thermaltake product has been approved by AMD, I urge you to check the AMD website and buy a recommended hsf from their list.

Try moving the base down a bit to relieve the pressure on the cpu and to make it a bit easier to install (use a small knife or screwdriver). Had to do this on my Socket 370 and it worked - much easier to install even though its made for Sock A.
