How to install Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO?

[stefan37]

How to properly install Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO? I tried to install it on my previous motherboard and the cpu socket pins bent and got destroyed while I tried to put them back up. I am now getting a new mobo, Asus P8Z77-V LX ( the only one I found in stores in my country) and I am afraid that I will break the pins again while putting the cooler. I have watched a video, but I am still unsure... Can anyone write details on what to watch out for so I won' bend the pins again?

Maybe bend pins happened during the placing of cpu to the motherboard socket (land)..

Here is some guide on cpu installation:

The pins should have nothing to do with the cooler install rather the CPU install that you do before the cooler. That is install the CPU correctly and latch it in place.

I thought they might have bent from pressure while tightening the screws? Like too much tightened screws which are holding the cooler?

No does not happen, the retention bracket is what presses the CPU down.

pins get bent on removale most of the time when the cooler base gets glued to the cpu and you can't release the arm that locks the cpu in place before removing cooler
