I can't connect my asetek 550lc to the cpu/motherboard...
I am extremely irritated, I recently removed my asetek 550lc (the part that attaches to the mobo/cpu) to get rid of, then reapply some thermal paste. Now, it's just sitting there because I can't figure out how to connect it back to those 4 holes. I am absolutely confounded because there's nothing for those 4 little screws to..screw into, the holes in the mobo are just empy and have nothing to screw into.



See those four holes? There is NOTHING underneath them for me to screw the cooler into, I do not understand.

There should have been a back plate that they screwed to. Look in your case it probably fell down into it.
