I'm going to buy either today or tomorrow a Cooler Master TX3 for my i5-3350P (not going to OC so I don't need anything super powerful). The cooler uses push-pins to lock in. However, what's confusing me is when you twist the tops of the pins. The official manual on their site is hilariously vague (seriously, why do nearly all CPU components have horrendous manuals?). Do I push down in the pins and then twist them, or do I twist them and then tighten them?
I thought simply checking Intel's site would help, but their official instructions for installing the stock LGA 1155 heatsink doesn't mention ANYTHING about twisting them at all! Ugh.
The entire reason I'm buying this cooler was because I bungled the stock one's installation so hard that my CPU was idling at 75c and the thing was so broken I couldn't reinstall even if I tried, so I want to make sure this one goes on right.
