Bane · 29-July-05, 02:06 AM

Hey guys, i cant for the life of me figure out how to put on the HSF that came with my Athlon 64 3000+ socket 939. One clip goes on and the other one wont. Iv applied force...but i'm afraid i'll break the cpu. Does anyone have any tips? I have AS5 on it and it's been smeared across the chip now :-S....anyways plz help!

AMD has some cool videos for you to watch

These videos will teach you how to install the heatsink. Good luck.

Those are for the xp......not the 64's....lol.....I was there lookin too.......

So from what I understand, you can get one side on and then the other.....and that's perfectly ok?
The HSF already has little indentations in the corner from where it touched the chip as i was trying to put it on.

Oops. The document you found should be more than enough resources for him. Great find!

Just keep the HSF flat while securing the clips......you'll notice that one side of the clip has a "bent-around" shape to it above the catch......that will be the last side you'll install and that "bent-around" shape is so a flat-blade screwdriver will fit in so you can push down and secure the final clip.........just don't forget to apply your thermal paste prior to the install.......

Cool.

I was about to suggest BA's method of using a 5lb rubber mallet (see post #11).

That one still cracks me up...
