Hi everyone, i'v searched high and low for an answer but have found naut.
I'm building a new system and with it i got the Ggigabyte GA-990fxa-UD3 motherboard and a Ice wind pro aftermarket cooler,
With the motherboard being an am3+ slot the fan should fit right in but alas when i try, the clips that hold it in place don't reach!
It looks like it's possible to bend the frame in which the clips are bound to so the clips can reach, but i don't feel comfortable doing so as i'm on a budget and breaking it would break my build, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
