Guys i bought a cogage true spirit today and tried to install it in y Gigabyte 970a ud3 motherboard but it wont really mount.

Its an AM3+ motherboard and when i tried to install the heatsink using the push pins it wont really work.

Any idea how to do it?

"I know this is designed for LGA1366. In fact, it says “CPU Cooler for socket 1366″ right on the box. But I’d like to see some mounting options for other platforms"

Not compatible with AM3+

The heatsink is compatible with AM3 motherboards, someone from this forum told me that, Ill be god damned if that is not compatible. The manual doesn't have anything about comatibily though it has how to install it but that is not kinda working, it has push pins.
