To install the pushpin type cooler first put some thermal paste on the cpu if its not already on the heatsink base.
Turn each black pushpin clockwise, aline the white part with the holes in your motherboard so they are all slightly in.
Push down on the black pushpins so they click, start with top left then do the opposite corner, then do top right then the oppsite corner they all should click when pushed fully down.
Connect the cpu fan cable to the motherboard and your finished

The stock cooler should have thermal compound on it already. There should also be instructions on the push pins but if in doubt, once they have been pushed in and clicked, if you turn the motherboard over you should be able to see a black core sticking up in between the white/clear outer sections for each pin. If the black core is not protruding as much as the white bits by a noticable amount, its probably in wrong.
