just bought a new heatsink and fan combo. only a cheep on as thats all i need till i upgrade. its just a coolermaster that i got from maplin for a fiver!
will support up to 1.2gig so my 800 will b fine. only thing is that im having a bit of trouble fitting it. the only one fits no problem, but i cant get the metal clips down in the new one as it appearsnot to b long enough.
i have to replace it really as the old fan is starting to pack in and make a lot of noise.
ne ideas on gettin it to fit?
Some of the restraining bands really need to be forced onto the clips. My advice: Use brute force, but carefully! They often need a bit more ooomph than you think - just make sure you don't crack your mobo though! The only other thought which I doubt is relevant is to make sure the band is properly located on the sink. I had trouble with my Zalman Flower at one stage until I noticed that I had inadvertently slotted the band it into the wrong gap :oops:

And make sure you are jamming it on the right way round. I've been there with an AMD fan and I melted the bugger :(
