Right first of all, those instructions in the box are *****.

I tried watching 3 videos on youtube and none of them dumb it down enough for me to see what is going on....namely...

I have a corsair 660t case, and a corsair Tx580v2 psu and an asrock


I am confused as to the following

1) do you remove the plastic stuff on the 4 legged spider thing that sits on the back of the motherboard behind where the CPU is???

2) should I remove the fan at the back of the 600t case to put in the ones that come with the h80?

3) which direction do i put the fans -do they ever go opposite one another? based on logical deductions - I understand corsair want you dragging air into the case.....

4) which screws are you supposed to use?

5) where are those circular nuts supposed to go and what do they do?

6) Does a fan go outside the case?? or is it ...fan inside the case, radiator, then another fan....

7) what's the best way to get those fans screwed in? Should I attach the radiator to the fan first or something??

8) Do you use the case screws that were with the stock fan or the one that was with the cooler???

the videos are too quick for me and they don't explain everything intricately...

seriously confused...

How do I get the fans to screw together with the radiator - seems like the screws aren't long enough! the screws actually won't get in far enough

I'm doing

screw from behind the case - into the case - then into a circular nut, then into a fan - at this point how do u have enough hands to screw any of this together???? I can't even see that the screws are long enough.... Man this is so stressful.
 
OK I did it.... not tested it yet though :P

those screws really don't give you much length at all.. I had to get my brother to hold the fan in place whilst I screwd in the heatsynch - .... very tricky.....
