Well i bought a new mobo since my old one broke. Everythings was going well till i was about to add the cpu cooler. It just wont fit. The plugs are in place, but they wont go in the holes. I can press as hard as i can. They wont fit. Any idea's? (And can i let the thermal paste on the cpu for 24 hours without cooler)
 
Is the cooler a Coolermaster Hyper 212 evo?

You mobo - http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77%20Extreme4/?cat=Specifications - is LGA1155.

The evo - http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/hyper-212-evo/ - fits lga1155

So there shouldn't be a problem. You using the right fittings?

The cooler also has 37mm clearance under it. Corsair Vengeance - http://www.corsair.com/en/memory/vengeance - is only 26.25mm high so that shouldn't be a problem either.

You haven't posted your case make and model. You'll have to check that yourself.
