Help please noctua NH- U12P

[Tetsuiga]

hi all i got my new pc components for my i7 build today, and the cooler i bought the noctua NH- U12P wont sit on the cpu, it just kind slouches off to the side of my rampage 2 mb....

everything is as tight as it will go, and im afraid to push it for fear of my mb breaking.

any suggestions? should i just put the stock cooler ont here and rma it?

any help would be wonderful thank you..

Don't use ALL CAP!

Disasemble and then reasemble. I have the same HS for my i7 and it fits fine... hve a look.

Insn't there a special clip? Did you get it for LGA 1136?

i did get it for 1336, the thing is, when i try to fasten the last screws into place, there are stoppers on the screws that prevent it from going any farther, and it just isnt enough to keep it mounted securly,

when i put the board sideways like ti would be in the case, the heatsink hangs at like a 25 degree angle off of the processor, after fiddling with it for an hour, im at a loss, maybe i should remove the stoppers somehow?

Have you put the clamp bit that should rest on the CPU on the right way round? I attached mine to the fan the wrong way round to begin with and then wondered why it wasn't touching the CPU.

couldnt hurt to try putting in the other way i suppose
