Ok i messed up with the noctua I ordered at newegg. now this is what I ordered:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608018
And this Noctua is the one for my socket:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608024
I did not see that difference between them now I just called Customer Service and they are willing to do the RMA with out the restocking fee because been my first return, and they will refund my money. Now in the other hand for me to ship it back to them via UPS Ground is around $13.00..
How and when did I found out that it will not fit int o my motherboard (Asus Rampage IV Extreme) is when I tried to insert the screws behind the backplate. I was like wtf!... the screws i need are the "double sided ones" unless there is a few more things than just the double sided mounting screws. So these are my options I came across:
1- To get the right noctua.

2- Get another type of cooling system for around the same price ($90-130) with better performance and to have better air flow since the Noctua es big and it takes a chunk of space in my Case.(Rosewill Thor V2 Case)
3- OR just try to get some double sided mounting screws at radio shack? homedepot? or?
Thanks for reading,
