Will a block from a 2011 socket CPU work on a 2011 v3 without an adapter?

Hold the screws in place, and tighten the nut to compress the spring. Do it in a diagonal fashion to ensure even pressure is applied.

the screws seem to screw into the board enough to provide all the compression needed

I'd personally do a few turns of the nut just to be sure you've got maximal pressure.

Another quick one not totally related.

I have the radiator fans and the case fan wired together to 1 3pin plug.

On my RIVE board i plugged this into the CPU fan socket and it powered all 3 fans just fine.

Doing the same on this board I cant get even 1 fan to spin? any ideas why / solutions? currently running water with no fan cooling!

The CPU fan socket might be disabled in the bios.

I hate to think what response I'll get for this post

It's the first helpful thing you've said in the thread, so why?

haha cheers guys, on closer inspection the plug wasnt fully mounted so pushing it down a little more caused them to spring into life, all seems good and the PC is up and running, all help is appreciated!
