Hi, me again. I had switched my Mobo & i7 and feel better like a new man again, and have just finished the hard part succesfully. I heard the stock cooler make 4 clicks (for the 4 push-pins).

But, when looking at the bottom of the pins underneath, 1 pin is AS FAR as the white nobs, while the other 3 are all each A PENNY'S WIDTH away from meeting the length of the white nobs.

And I have already pushed them too much BUT not as much as last time (man that's tricky to watch out for).

So what's going on...

Ooooohhhhh, THOSE pins !!!!
I thought you were talking about fan power pins !!!
I always hated those kinds of mounts. Knobs are easy to damage when dismounting. As long as they are all the way thru MB and center rod is also thru, it's OK. it will hold it down.
