Hyper 212 Evo Complications? Help!

[Skyshadow101]

Hello!

I am trying to install the Hyper 212 Evo from Cooler Master, and I'm having trouble installing the bracker that attaches the cooler to the cpu. (The one that goes inside the cooler.)

Whenever I screw one in, the other goes on the other side goes EXTREMELY high.

I fear that if I put too much pressure, it will break the mobo or the cpu.

I eventually got to the final screw and it was so high and so tense that I just unscrewed the entire thing.

Am I doing something wrong?

Is there a defect?

Could you post a picture of what you're experiencing? Something doesn't sound right there.

Are you sure you're using the appropriate mounting layout for your socket type?

Hi,

There are ton of guides on youtube, go look at them will help

Based on the picture, it looks like you're trying to secure one side, then the other - opposed to applying even pressure.

Slightly screw in each opposing corner (eg. top left, then bottom right, bottom right then top left) and, only once they're all catching would I suggest tightening further.

When I apply even pressure, it still does the same thing and I still have to put a tremendous amount of pressure to put it on. I think I might just clean the stock intel cooler that came with my i3 and put it on the i7.

Are you sure you're latching the pin in the middle? The bracket sits inside the cooler, and there's a pin that holds it in place (in the middle).
If you're off center with that, you'll never be able to secure it down correctly.

Yea, it's properly secure, sadly. The little screw is going into the divet in the cooler.
