Okay,

So you've managed to put the first screw in but the second won't go in right?

Does the cooler rest on the mounting bracket okay or does it feel a but unstable?

I had this problem when i tried to install this cooler. What you need to do is losen the backplate a little bit so that you can move it a very small amount to line up better. If you do that it will fit. I had exactly the same problem as you initially.

God damn im a freakin genius hey lad. :D

Congrats mate, its a great cooler and the customer service phanteks provide is top notch. Let us know how the temps are.
 
Here are my temps on the new Phantek:

Idle - 32c - 36c on four cores

Load, using Prime - 55c - 60c

Im very happy with this result, great cooler, nearly same temps as my watercooled setup !
 
55-60c, is that at 4ghz on the 930? If so, that is astonishingly good on what are pretty hot running chips.
