I cannot find a way to install this massive heatsink onto my motherboard. The case isn't really the issue, the board is. If I try to set it up with the fan blowing from bottom to the top of the case, the fan overlaps the chipset heatsink, and if I try to set the fan blowing from right to left towards the rear exhaust, the fan overlaps two Dimm slots. Am I just doing something wrong, or was this just a huge oversight on Evga's behalf? Has anyone been able to successfully mount this on this motherboard?
I'm currently having to use the stock Intel air for the e4300 I just got, and either the stock is just that bad, or I did not do a very good job applying the Arctic Silver (I followed the directions of the site). Speedfan is reporting the "CPU" sits idle at 39 degrees, while "Core 1 and Core 2" idle around 35 degrees and go all the way up to 47 degrees under a mild load.
