oleg1227 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Hey guys, So I've purchased the H60 and tried installing it today into HAF 922. To my disappointment I wasn't able to install it or at least haven't yet figured out how. My issue is that the pins (red dots) that currently hold my stock CPU fan are located as shown in the picture below. Mobo: Asus Z68 V-Pro http://imgur.com/QHnVh The mounting bracket with screws for Intel that was supplied is too thick to fit in between the motherboard and the metal sheeting on the left side of the holes (red in the picture). Anyone has any suggestions as to how I can fit this in? Appreciated, Oleg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekermartin Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 You have to remove your mobo to install. Most people have to. A lot of cases have CPU cutouts to help install coolers but most don't line up with all motherboards. Removing the motherboard is a hassle but there nothing else you can do. Remove the motherboard, install the bracket, reinstall the motherboard, then reinstall everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oleg1227 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Thanks I'll try that tonight! Will I need to wipe off the existing paste on my processor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekermartin Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Yes. Clean your processor. You can use alcohol but becareful. I usually use a few qtips to clean off the old paste. Then dip a qtip in alcohol and clean the processor with it. You should remove the processor from the motherboard when you do that. Becareful to not bend any cpu pins!
