Cpu cooler clamps wont fit!

[ArmoreDragon]

I have a amd cpu I installed the cpu correctly but when I try and clamp the cpu cooler on, only one clamp fits.

There is a little lever on one side of the stock cooler, make sure it lifted up, clip the side without the lever on first, then lift the lever up, making it looser, now click the other side, and push the lever back down, it can be quite hard to push, but make sure its all the way down.

I know that. It doesnt get close and how much force i used two hands but it felt like i was going to break it.

You're using the stock cooler right? Is there anyway you could post a picture?

 

[ArmoreDragon]

No i cant post a picture and yes im useing the stock, i have one clamp down but the other doesnt come close.

What cpu are you using? There should only be one side with a clamp. The other is just a simple metal cutout square which you hook onto the plastic hook on the heatsink. Make sure the lever on the otherside is point up, therefore loosens it.

Im using a amd fx 6-core black edition fx-6350. Theres two clamps, one with the plastic thing to loosen it and the other clamp.

 

[Sean_1509]

Firstly, make sure the side without the plastic thing is hooked. now lift the plastic thing UP, therefore loosening the other side, and push it down.

Thats what i did and it didnt fit

 

[ArmoreDragon]

and trust me i pushed hard

 

[Sean_1509]

You must be doing it wrong somewhere, thats exactly how it should be done...

 

[ArmoreDragon]

Could there be a problem with the parts?

 

[Sean_1509]

Possibly? Maybe a bent clamp, or somewhere bent inbetween the two sides? I'd try getting someone to take a look at it in person who knows how to install them. (Not saying you do not know, but just to be on the safe side)
