The screws won’t go in and I don’t wont to break it. It might be the backplate but I forgot how to hold it while screwing in the cooler

IIRC, you screw the standoffs into the backplate and then the spring-loaded screws into the standoffs - not directly?!

orient the AMD logo away from the RAM to avoid clearance issues.

you can screw in the four mounting screws just enough to allow clearance and then tighten opposite corners a bit at a time

Where are the mounting screws? I built it a year ago and can’t remember how I did it

 

[Mr.Spock]

the mounting screws should be spring loaded and integral to the fan?

Anyway to show you what I mean?

It was the backplate, but now it’s a pain in the ass to get it in

I fixed it, now the fan is too loud, any good fan curves?
