well im in the process of building my new pc and ive notice when ive tryed to install the cpu cooler the stock one what comes with the CPU is that one of the clips what you plug into the motherboard the black pin is sticking threw it. Should it come like this or is it broke? ive been trying to get it in now for like an hour but i dont want to push to hard :confused:

Just raise the black pin (Twist and pull)
Push Pins are easy.

win1996 · 13 Dec 2012 at 11:50

they proberly are easy but ive never done this before in my life

i don't get what you mean Twist and pull sorry

Martini1991 · 13 Dec 2012 at 11:52

You're using Intel aren't you?
4 push pins, you need to twist and pull, as the black pin shouldn't be sticking out of the plastic before you put it into the board.
I can't say anything more clearer than twist and pull, as it's the motion you do :confused:

Yes, you have to push the motherboard into the backplate. Sometimes there are small metal tabs on the backplate that need to be removed otherwise if won't fit properly.

will it need quite a firm push beause i just cant seem to line it up with the screw holes?

Martini1991 · 13 Dec 2012 at 12:49

Yeah, you need quite a push to line up with the I/O plate, probably have to hold it too.

How far out are the screw holes, it will need a firm push.

ConnorJoshua · 13 Dec 2012 at 20:13

Try another plug, or if the psu is making a weird noise then i would blame that
