i need help with my CPU cooler
Posted by ghostlyeth@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 1 comments
i have recently bought parts for a pc and my CPU cooler (Thermalright Frozen Infinity 360 White ) i can’t fit it onto my motherboard. i have a LGA1800 slot and i have used the back panel provided with the cooler, but every time i try to screw the cooler to the intel panels i can only ever seem to get one side to bite. i am using the blue standoffs and i have used the given screws to keep the panels in place. i don’t know where else to go as i’m unsure if i need to get a new cooler or not, any help would be appreciated

For the 1851 socket, the 1700 mounting instructions should work. The blue standoffs look to be correct ones to use.
The one thing is, are you sure you have the brackets that bridge between the posts on the correct way? See how they're setup here (different cooler from TR's product line, but appears to use the same mounting hardware).
