Hey everyone,
Well, as I mentioned yesterday, I finally got my CPU. I was all excited to install the thing when I realized my Thermaltake Dragon Orb 3 would not grasp itself correctly to the CPU. I couldn't even get one end of the fan to grasp onto the hooks on one side of the CPU. I had a shim on the processor, but I don't think that was giving me the problem. I think the capacitators on the MB are too close to the cpu and, therefore, and not allowing this massive heatsink to be installed.
Anyways, my first question, does anyone have this HSF installed on their Soyo? Second, what kind of HSF are you running and was it easy to install? This thing has been a pain in the ass so far and I think I need to go and order a new fan. Oh hell. Thanks for the help.
