hi guys I've been tirelessly setting up my rig this afternoon, and I've come to the stage of fitting my arctic cooling freezer 7 to my Asrock Conroe945G-DVI (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard.

My only worry is that it seems to take an awful lot of pressure to clip the heatsink on to the motherboard, and I'm worried about the motherboard cracking.

Is it a sensible idea to take the motherboard out of the case and then attach the cooler, so it isn't propped up on the screws, or should I quit whining, and just force the heatsink on :P

Is it very easy to crack a motherboard doing this kind of operation?

Thanks a lot guys,
