Hi All,
I have a dual-LGA 2011 system I'm building (Motherboard Asus Z9PE-D9WS with the new Xeon V2 chips). And I am trying to install the NH-U12S heat sinks with the 2011 install. The front brackets have been installed, and look correct compared to the diagram.
I am trying to install the heatsink - which seems to have female screws that you have to get to fall onto the male screws which are built into the bracket - and this is taking far more force than I think is reasonable (for any other heatsink I've ever installed).
The screw on top just touches the base, but turning it with normal force will not get it to catch.... and i have to put a ton of force on the first side to get it to start to screw in - at that point the other side gets raised up and is basically impossible to push back down.... we're talking < mm away from making the correct contact - but no amount of force (that won't break the motherboard in half) - seems to bring these things together...
Any ideas?
