Hey guys,

Anyone who has installed this Heatsink on a P4 Socet 478 please give me some advice.

The Heatsink+Fan came with 2 clips that i am meant to connect to the yellow arms of the socet that supports the heatsink

The clips are shown below

Now the problem is that i cannot connect these to clips to the socket.
It is hard to explain, i get the clip and put the 2 parts

on the socet so they are resting in the wholes where the manual says they are meant to go. But somehow i am meant to tighten them so they are not resting on the bottom of the socet, and i see now way to do this. Even pushing the round bit on the clips dose noting at all i just dont understand!

help.

Thanks, Sprooty

The left part connects from the bottom first then you push the right side down until it snaps into place.

Thats the best way I can put it.

Try to do both sides at the same time so the HS lines up and fits snug otherwise the HS might stick out a bit.

left part of what? and what is left? the side with the hand u can push or the other side?

Don't Worry.

I got a computer techy to come ova and do it, i found out why i could'nt do it. Because i was meant to put the CPU on then the brackets!! GRR!!
