AMD HSF Latch?

Hello,

I jusy built my new pc last night and noticed that the retail HSF that is supplies with the 64 X2 cpu won't lock to the mainboard brackett....is this a common issue?

The fan is on quite snug and I can't seeing it popping loose but is there another way to secure the latch such as a wire tie to hold it down?

I'm using a MSI K9VGM-V mainboard.

Thanks

BTW the CPU does seem to run cool....about 32 idle...and so far hasn't gone over 36c.

I mounted it per instructions on AMD sheet....with the latch towards the center of the board...doubt if there is clearence towards the edge of the MB because of the position of the PS.

Its turns fully clockwise to the base of the board but won't catch on the brackett.

Not much there for the clip to lock onto.....theres on hook on the lever, just a flat flange thats supposed to butt up against the MB brackett.

Thanks for the reply Baron,

Yeah the retention latch is alittle quirky...but like I said it's down pretty snug and solid..its just that the latch won't lock in place on the MB brackett.

I may just have to secure differently.

Thanks again

I'll try and get a pic tonight and post it.

I'm pretty sure it's oriented right....but I will double check.

Thanks guys
