Putting in a new AMD cpu

[nathanj_15]

I have an AMD Athlon x4 860k black edition paired with and MSI A68HM-E33 V2 mobo and a second hand case. I went to go out the sides on (the tab that the arm thing on the heat sink hooks to, to keep the heat sink in place) but the holes are way bigger than the screws and there are no holes in the case. Any ideas on how to secure those sides? No tutorial seems to show it.

Thanks: Nathan

That's word salad to me.

What case?

You are doing WHAT again exactly?

Some of what you say seems to be an issue mounting the CPU cooler to the motherboard, so I'm confused what that has to do with the "holes in the case"?
