I have the "Zalman CNPS9500 LED heatsink/fan" for my socket 939, ive never bought a heatsink/fan like this, ive only had the clip on ones that come stock with amd cpus, where it just attaches, this one.. has like no clips on the actual part, but it came with like 4..metal parts. is there any guides how to install this?!

X-bit labs - Articles - First Look at Zalman CNPS9500 LED: the Power of Air, the Efficiency of Water (page 2)

im really dumb when it comes to this lol

edit: it came with a manual, but i would still like some extra help if your willing, also it comes with a zalmate or somehting enless im reading it wrong, its alittle small black box with a knob that you can turn do i even wanna install that?!

If THIS is the manual that you have, it seems pretty straight forward to me. Theres always something that may stump you in these manuals though.

If you're worried you might break something or you really just dont know what you're doing, I'd suggest you have someone show you how its done in person.

If you really need help here though, I'd need to know what processor type you are using that for and it would help to see a picture of the socket on the motherboard.

edit: sorry i looked it over, its easy i just stikc the metal part in the middle, and just screw it on both sides? its that easy?

Getting the metal bar in the middle is the hard part, remember to make the air flow face the rear exhaust of the computer and not the underside of the power supply.

And yes, it is that easy.

what do you make face? you mean as in, make sure the fan is facing the back and ram, not the powersupply and video card? and yeah, im afraid about the metal bar

im also afraid about my wires hitting the heatsink lol

like since mine is vertical, i gotta stick the metal in the middle through the side.. between which 2 pipes do i put the thing in? i cant put it direct in the middle since theres a pipe in the middle..since theres 3 total lol

in the manual it looks like you put it between the two pipes closest to the front of the heatsink

Zalman CNPS9500 LED

There's a photo halfway down the page that shows the correct direction the fan should be facing.

There is also a flash animation that you could watch, just click on the installation movie picture next to the photos of the fan at the top of the page.
