I'm building the new computer I ordered last week, which is my first one, and I'm having trouble installing the stock heatsink which came with my E6600.  I can only get 3 of the pins attached to the motherboard, but the last one can't seem to fit in.  I'm wondering if I should apply more force to the motherboard, because I don't want to risk damage.  thanks

Buy a zalman, stock ones arent that great anyways, I have a 40 dollar zalman sitting on my floor (Motherboard didnt have the holes for it) But nows the time to get a GOOD heatsink.... because changing at a later date sucks! Cheers, Gunny

Lemme guess, you didn't buy the LGA775 bracket did you?

Ugh the computer fried before I could install it.... but after the fact I checked it didnt have anything, I still have it, I may install it on this Socket 939! Cheers, Gunny

EDIT: It was a 462 mind you as well!

Actually, I think I got it in.  I read somewhere else that the core 2 duo sinks are tricky, and that once you here it click just leave it alone.

well if its in its in.... but I dont like stock heatsinks! They are painful (Lost a lotta blood and skin too em) Cheers, Gunny
