Okay quick one. On official ASUS X99 Deluxe manual they're showing how to install stock Intel FAN.

So from looks of it pretty damn simple. you line up CPU socket holes, push in, make sure that pins on other side are far enough ..... DONE.

Well no so simple. there are no holes in 2011-3 board because it comes with a plate.....

Ooookay. But there are metal screw in hole that let's say I used on other board to screw in special mounting pins for AIO water coolers like i100h. So .... how about regular stock fan ? I mean pins do line up but there is NO holes that goes thru the board, So ... what do I do ?

Look plastic pins line up with metal screw in holes. Do I just push in or what ?
