i bought the thermalright cooler and tried to install it, i must have done sumthing wrong b/c i had to rma my board, it would post after installation. the cooler was extremely difficult to install, the backplate that came with it, all 4 holes wont go all the way in on the motherboard and the mounthing bracket was diffult to keep in place and screw down, id like to know if anybody has installed this cooler what your experiances were with it and what suggestions do you have for me or what i might have done wrong, profosionally installing would cost 60 bucks and id dont wont to pay that if i dont have to.
thanks

"the backplate that came with it, all 4 holes wont go all the way in on the motherboard"

did you use the socket 775 mounting bracket?

i have no explanation for the plate not fitting your holes.

although i did find the installation cumbersome, it was fairly simple.

put the plate in place, put the mobo down on a flat surface with the plate in place. hover the heatsink and put all 4 screws in (loosely.) then tighten the screws. piece of cake.

if you want good cooling that doesn't break the bank
Don't stay with traditional air cooling

Get the Corsair H50

Its under $100 and will beat any air cooler while taking less space
