Hi guys,
As my Dark Rock TF turned up a little wonky upon delivery. I need to reseat the new replacement.
How do I get the nut screws off the MB round the CPU as these little black clips are stopping them coming off and I can't get them off for the life of me.
I can't just put the cooler on and put the bolts on top of the bracket screws as I can't get to them.
In an ideal world I need to take the screw clips off, unscrew the nut screws and put the nut screws through the cpu cooler bracket and put the bolts on, then slot the cooler in place (after paste application) and tighten the screws from behind.
Any ideas? It's driving me mad.
Oops, when I say screw clips I mean 'c-profile spacers'
