well i finally got round to attempting to fit my zalman cooler (about 4 months since i bought it) - but i seem to have run into a problem.

im probably just being stupid, but the xfx fan appears to be held in place by screws that are glued in place - is this normal? am i missing something?

i know it must be possible to fit the zalman onto this card as i see other people mention thats how theyre set up.
 
kinda... i mean, it shows what i was doing is right, but theres just no way can i get the screws out. if i try much harder ill end up putting the screwdriver through the board... ive had a look, and the screws in step 4 of that guide definately appear to be glued in place.
 
yeah i noticed that some of the glue was red and i figured it would be so they could tell if it'd been removed.

i guess ill just have to give it another go. maybe find a longer screwdrive, as the only one i could find small enough is too short for my hand...
