Only able to screw in 2 of the 4 screws to secure my h100i v2 onto my asus sabertooth x99
So I have one corner and the opposite corner, forming only half of the X.
Not sure what to do? Can't really seem to force it so I booted and it works o_O

That would be African engineering at best, not the other wording, and the answer is no, it's damned expensive if you start screwing things up through a laxadasical build.

When seating the pump, work an X pattern. Just barely start the screws. If you tighten opposing screws, the remaining 2 won't reach. As you found out. Just 3-4 turns, then move to next screw and keep going until all 4 bottom out.

Don't turn the pc back on until the cooler is seated properly.
