Cooler Master instructions are CRAP
I just got my new Cooler Master EP5 6i11 for my Socket A Athlon.
Now I'm not badmouthing the product itself in any way: It's just that their online instruction manual really sux. They mention something about using a screwdriver, but I see no pictures with it. If someone has experience installing one of these, would you be so kind as to explain exactly how you go about putting it on without ruining your cpu (which I have done in the past, so I'm wary of installing CPU fans now). I appreciate any help. |

KlumpDud, go to AMD's site. They have some very good PDF files on how to install a socket A heatsink.

It's important to apply pressure to ONLY the clip. Folks that have smushed the chip installing a heatsink generally pushed down on the heatsink/fan itself.

Use a nutdriver or at least a small socket, instead of a screwdriver. It won't slip.
