Ok, so I just received my Gigabyte EP45-UD3R mobo, my Q6600 cpu and my Zalman 9500 heatsink/cooler. But the Zalman won't fit into the motherboard.
To be more specific, the Clip support and Backplate sockets fit perfectly, but the cooler can't be fastened to the Clip support because the Clip itself is to big, it collides with other motherboard components that surrounds the CPU input.
See how the Clip that attaches the Zalman onto the CPU, collides with one component:
It's suppose to be pressed down and attach to a Lug on the Clip support socket, but with the Clip this big, there is no room for movement at all.
Here's what it would look like with the Zalman fan ontop, it sticks out way too much:
2 additional questions, am I doing this all wrong?,
and,
will this really sit tight without any screws, just Clip attached to Lug?
If the truth simply is that the clip/fan is too big, I'll settle with the Q6600 heatsink for now.
Thanks for listening guys.
Thanks guys
