Motherboard Problem Liquid Cooling

[yayan28]

I recently bought the seideon 120m. While trying to install the standoff on my CPU, I noticed that I could not due to my motherboard not having holes for it. My motherboard is the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3. The holes where the liquid cooling would set one are in a rectangle, not a square. What do I do?!

did you follow the directions? not super familiar with that one, but you typically have to remove the two plastic OEM heatsink mounts... then install a new backplate, then mount hte water block to the new backplate with the included hardware.

the motherboard backplate would be included with it as long as you bought it retail from newegg or something.

if you bought it second hand with no extra hardware, you are in trouble

The motherboard backplate can't mount onto the motherboard because the holes are rectangular instead of in a square

Are you sure the version of the cooler you purchased was compatible with your processor socket? Did it come with some cams or other hardware to make a universal fit?
